Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Podcast- A Polyvagal Theory Informed Therapy

In this episode, Joanne interviews Deb Dana.
Deb has a wonderful capacity to break down complex concepts and create a language that facilitates clinical application. Through her books and workshops, Deb teaches how to embody the Polyvagal Principles in therapeutic activities to create an environment of safety, and to promote self-awareness. She is able to provide a framework for the "Safe" within the "Safe and Sound Protocol."
