This is a 5 hour listening therapy that recalibrates the middle ear to be more attuned to sounds of safety. 

By doing so, the Nervous System can achieve calm and flexibly move between Ventral safety, and also, do the important work of responding appropriately to environmental cues of danger and threat.

The Nervous System

A main function of the nervous system is to regulate the body's experience of safety and to identify threats in the environment. 

 

When working correctly, the nervous system is able to filter information from the environment into the body's sensing systems and gather information related to our safety and our need to respond to threat.  When the nervous system identifies safety, the body remains in a state of flexible calm identified as Ventral safety.  When in threat, the body quickly responds physically, preparing to battle a predator or run from them.  This state is known as the Sympathetic state.  When the body perceives a threat too dangerous to survive, it collapses into a Dorsal state.  

The nervous system's ability to interpret safety and threat, then respond accordingly with the appropriate state change, is a necessary function of survival.

If the nervous system is not functioning correctly it can become stuck in a state of experiencing threat and responding constantly to a perceived sense of dangerousness.  In this stuck state a person may perceive the world to feel unsafe and constantly feel reactive, irritated, sad, or collapsed.  The body is unable to appropriately sense the input of safety that exists in the environment.
