Listening Programs
Sometimes, healing benefits from additional support for the nervous system.
Alongside clinical hypnotherapy, I may recommend incorporating a specialized listening program into your treatment plan when I believe it will help create a stronger foundation for healing.
I currently offer two evidence-informed listening programs: the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and the Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP). While they share the goal of supporting nervous system regulation, each is designed for different therapeutic needs.
Meet the Listening Programs
Both listening programs gently support nervous system regulation, but they do so in different ways. Rather than choosing one yourself, we'll decide together whether a listening program is appropriate and, if so, which one best fits your goals and nervous system.
Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)
Supporting Connection to Others
The Safe & Sound Protocol is designed to help your nervous system recognize cues of safety, making it easier to connect with yourself and the people around you.
It may be recommended if you're experiencing:
-
Anxiety or hypervigilance
-
Trauma or chronic stress
-
Emotional reactivity
-
Sensory sensitivities
-
Difficulty feeling safe, connected or present
-
Relationship or social challenges
Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP)
Supporting Connection to Self
The Rest & Restore Protocol is designed to support your body's natural capacity for rest, recovery, and regulation, helping create the conditions for healing from prolonged stress.
It may be recommended if you're experiencing:
-
Burnout or chronic stress
-
Persistent fatigue
-
Sleep challenges
-
Chronic pain or illness
-
Difficulty recovering after stress
-
Feeling depleted or disconnected from your body
How Listening Programs May Fit Into Therapy
If a listening program is recommended for you, it becomes one part of your personalized treatment plan.
Depending on your needs, we may complete listening during therapy sessions, between sessions, or a combination of both. Throughout the process, we'll continue integrating your experiences into our therapeutic work together, allowing your nervous system and subconscious to support one another.
The goal isn't simply to complete a listening program. It's to help create the conditions for deeper healing, lasting change, and greater connection with yourself.
What a Listening Program Includes
If a listening program is recommended, there is a $150 per month fee that covers access to your personalized listening program, development of your individualized listening plan, and ongoing guidance between therapy sessions. This includes:
-
A personalized listening plan based on your goals, experiences, and nervous system.
-
Access to your listening program for the duration of your active program.
-
A resource guide with practical tools and strategies to support you throughout the program.
-
Light-touch guidance between sessions for questions related to listening, regulation, or navigating the program.
-
Progress monitoring (if listening independently) to help ensure your listening program continues safely and effectively.
-
Ongoing integration into therapy, allowing your listening experience to inform and support the work we do together.
Most active listening programs are completed over approximately four weeks, although some individuals may benefit from moving at a slower pace. Your program will always be guided by your nervous system rather than a fixed timeline.
Maintenance Membership
After completing your active listening program, you may choose to continue independent access to your personalized listening playlists through a maintenance membership of $20 a month.
This includes:
-
Continued access to your personalized listening playlists
-
Independent listening at your own pace
Ongoing clinical guidance, program adjustments, and between-session guidance are not included during maintenance. If you'd like additional therapeutic support, you can simply book a therapy session as needed.
Could a Listening Program Be Right for Me?
Listening programs aren't the right tool for every person or every situation, and that's okay.
If, after getting to know you and understanding your goals, I believe a listening program could meaningfully support your healing, I'll explain why and we'll decide together whether it belongs in your treatment plan.
