Parenting Support
Sunlight psychologists understand that even the most confident of parents sometimes struggle to understand or manage their child's unique behaviours.
We provide a safe space for parents to come and discuss their child's behaviour, learn new and effective ways to meet their child's needs, and allow themselves time for their own self-care.

SAFE AND SOUND PROTOCOL
About the Safe and Sound Protocol
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an
evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing,
behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music.
As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator,
helping to re-tune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience.
The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider, in-person
or remotely. Suitable for children and adults, the SSP has demonstrated benefits for individuals with
trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, sensory processing differences and more.
Polyvagal Theory: The Science of Feeling Safe
Developed by world-renowned researcher and Unyte’s Chief Scientific Advisor, Dr. Stephen Porges, Polyvagal Theory focuses on what is happening in the body and the nervous system, and explains how our sense of safety, danger or life-threat can impact our
behavior.
Understanding Polyvagal Theory gives us a scientific framework that can be applied through physiological, or “bottom-up” therapies, to help change and improve
how we feel, think and connect with others.
