🔊 How You’ll Access the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
Once you’ve selected your SSP support level and completed payment, we’ll set you up with access through the MyUnyte app, a secure platform created by Unyte/iLs.
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Therapist Sets Up Your Profile
Within 24–48 hours of payment, your therapist will create your SSP account in the Unyte system and assign the correct program for your needs.
2. Receive an Email Invitation
You’ll get an email from Unyte/iLs with a link to create your login credentials.
3. Download the MyUnyte App
The app is free and available on:
App Store for iPhone/iPad
Google Play for Android
4. Log In & Begin Listening
Open the app, log in, and you’ll see your assigned SSP program (Core, Balance, or Connect). Follow the pacing plan provided for your support level. Or reach out by email for help.
5. Use Quality Headphones
Please use over-ear headphones for the best experience.
6. Ongoing Support (if included)
If you’ve chosen Guided or Therapy-Integrated support, we’ll stay in touch to help pace your sessions, check in on you, and respond to your progress.

Is self-paced the right fit?
If you live with complex chronic illness, POTS or dysautonomia, significant trauma, or a highly sensitive nervous system, we recommend Therapist Guided SSP at a Distance, where your listening is paced and supported by a Registered Clinical Counsellor.
SSP is a complementary therapy and does not replace medical care. Individual experiences vary.
Do the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) from home with a Registered Clinical Counsellor guiding you from start to finish. Therapist Guided SSP at a Distance pairs 30 days of remote access to the full 5 hours of SSP Core with assessments, a pacing workbook and therapist check-ins — so you can listen safely, at a pace that fits your nervous system.

Why therapist-guided?
SSP is powerful, and more isn't always better. For sensitive or chronically ill nervous systems, careful pacing helps you get the benefits while reducing the chance of feeling overwhelmed. Guided support means you're never figuring it out alone.
