Therapists: Evolve Your Self Care & Your Practice

Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, founder of the Polyvagal Theory, the Safe and Sound Protocol from Unyte is a non-invasive acoustic vagus nerve stimulator that helps your clients connect with themselves, others, and the world from a foundation of physiological safety.

In the suite of ISG services, SSP mentoring does not include any listening to the SSP. Our belief is that a healthy, supportive surround that matches your current functioning is essential to a safe and transformative experience with the SSP. Providers who want to experience the SSP in the context of Shelly's harmonized growth coaching model can pursue Individual Coaching.

Topics can range from deepening understanding of theoretical concepts, clinical guidance on integrating the SSP into practice (with top-down behavior-based modalities or other body-up modalities), clinical case consultation, or guidance and decision process for integrating SSP into business process.

Shelly Melroe, ISG Founder, was one of the first providers to incorporate the Safe and Sound Protocol into mental healthcare for restoration from developmental trauma. She currently uses it with individuals, couples, and families across a broad range of treatment goals, including resolution of chronic pain, addictive behaviors, narcissistic/codependent dynamics, and cross-generational trauma. She is a Certified Remote Provider and Endorsed Mentor by Unyte. You can watch the Provider Spotlight by Unyte, during which Shelly discusses her approach to bringing curiosity to psychophysiological restoration using the SSP with Unyte Clinical Director Rebecca Knowles. In addition to this clinical expertise, Shelly integrates expertise from decades of coaching and facilitating organizational change initiatives into the guidance of how to incorporate a new paradigm and new interventions into your practice.
