SSP Wellness Center is the only place I…
SSP Wellness Center is the only place I would recommend for SSP!I have been through exceptionally hard and intense health journey, lots of suffering and losses. I have also intense traumas from loosing family member to suicide and developmental traumas. My health state is very fragile and Im super hyper sensitive to everything. Emma recognized this right away and we started only with 10 seconds per day. This is the only way to untangle the nervous system that has been drowned under biological and psychological trauma. I have now done it for months, and Im at 25 seconds per day. I have also done other things for trauma work, but for me it seems that SSP opens up the nervous system and creates a window for neuroplastic changes, which then allows everything else to work. For me, lifelong behaviour patterns started to fall off effortlessly. Through this process I realized how helping others is a trauma behaviour that comes from feeling deeply unsafe (fawning), and trying to desperately save my family member, basically being stuck in trauma for 24 years. I also started to get angry a lot at one stage. Anything or anybody too much created lots of anger. It seems that for the first time in my life I started getting real, embodied boundaries (not the ones where you have to mentally fight against your own urges). Then came the hermit phase. After all my life of NEEDING people so badly, trying to get some kind of safety from them, I was finally able to be alone, in peace. My system devoured it. I now keep progressing and Im probably exciting the hermit phase. I have been able to access my deep traumas in journalling and other trauma work like never before. My trauma dreams are changing. My life is changing. And Im healing from physical issues that have been extremely severe. And Im getting so psychic and intuitive, its crazy :) Its a side effect of this, so be aware! :)Im a really curious, scientific person who always digs deep and finds out the mechanisms of how something works, but I give up on this. I have no idea how SSP can be such a powerful thing and how on earth Porges did it. Im just glad it works! Emma has been fantastic guidance throughout this process and her answers are so well thought out and insightful. I could trust the most sensitive people to her hands!

SSP Changed my Life
I started my SSP journey, very skeptical, 12 months ago. I had been living in chronic pain from relentless ankylosing spondylitis flare-ups for what felt like a lifetime.Following the program with the support from Trever has been life-changing. I've gone from struggling with mobility and having immunosuppressive injections whilst still taking pain relief daily, to being completely medication-free and feeling like a different person. I cannot recommend SSP Wellness Center enough!

A Brand New Start
Over the past 12 months, in fits and starts, and through an enchanting string of insights, I have been altering the course of my life under Emma’s guidance.At 76, what was at first a faint light is beginning to shine on the true purpose of my life. I am finding that it is not too late.From childhood, I have been searching - searching for relief from chronic pain throughout my body. Decades later, the pain had mostly retreated but then morphed into deep mental pain. Despite engaging in therapy of every possible kind, I felt, until January 2025, as though I might never be able to heal, and never know what I was meant to accomplish in this world.Like many whose reviews I enjoyed on this site, I don’t claim to fully understand how the Safe and Sound Protocol works on my nervous system. But it does. With SSP, Emma is leading me through an extraordinary maze of ideas, reflection, feeling and discovery.As an artist and an « intellectual », I find the journey fascinating. And what makes it possible, despite its less-than-straight path to healing, is my absolute trust in Emma. Her guidance and support are unrelenting, no matter what I’m up to!Incredibly, I now feel that I still have plenty of time to better contribute to other people’s lives - loved ones and strangers alike - and to cherish them as I have always yearned to.Thank you, Emma.Thank you, SSP.Michèle G.

SSP Wellness Center micro-dosing method works!
Trever helped me a lot! The effects of SSP is something I’ve been looking for for a while now. I’ve done many modalities and I started to zone in on my nervous system being a part of the whole problem I was looking for. The first provider I was connected to when I first heard about the Safe and Sound Protocol practiced in a conventional way and she charged hundreds for each session. She said this process may even take many sessions after the round is completed. I calculated that that practitioner could cost me thousands just to see if SSP was a right fit for me. It was frustrating. I couldn’t afford that.I somehow found SSP Wellness Center and I was impressed how their website looked. It was very well organized and had so much information that was easy to read. It was friendly and approachable. I thought if this website is a reflection of the people who ran it they must be good. Then I saw the pricing and knew I could afford this. I read about their micro dosing method and it seemed interesting. I don’t need my life to be interrupted to go through something intense. I got to say, after being on my second round now that it works! I’ve eased into a better state of mind and I’ve stayed on SSP for many months now. It’s not like just one week then it’s over. Think of waveforms like the Stockmarket. If you do SSP gradually and for a long time you’re likely to stay on that higher state and plateau, rather than spike and drop…Trever himself has been amazing. He is punctual and responds every time I do. Trever is always available for me. He encourages me and reads my periodic messages throughly. Trever offers insight and resources. I like that he’s a guy too because he really understands my perspective and problems I go through being a man. What’s great about SSP Wellness Center is that Trever’s wife Emma is available for women to relate to.I have found these people to be very professional and effective. I plan to stay on their SSP plan. I highly recommend SSP Wellness Center! -Rich

SSP helped relieve my chronic back pain — and healed my cat too
I’ve been living with chronic lower back pain for many years. Over time, I tried everything I could think of—physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, anti-inflammatory diets, stretching, posture therapy, red light therapy, psoas release tools, acupuncture, and so many other treatments. Nothing gave me lasting relief.One day, while searching online for new options, I stumbled upon somatic movement. I gave it a shot, and while it helped a little, the relief didn’t last. On the same website, I also found an article about SSP (Safe and Sound Protocol). I reached out to Trever and decided to give it a try. Honestly, I was skeptical—but at that point, I was open to anything.During the first few days, I listened for just one minute a day, and surprisingly, I felt better. I thought it had to be the placebo effect. But when we increased the listening time by only 10 seconds, things actually got worse. That blew my mind—how could just 10 seconds make such a difference? We went back down to one minute, and I kept a daily log of how I was feeling for over three months. Slowly but surely, my pain dropped from a level 7 to about a 3. That felt amazing—but I still hoped to get even better.Trever suggested trying some brain retraining programs. I experimented until I discovered Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Alan Gordon’s book The Way Out. That’s when things really clicked. I realized my pain was “neuroplastic pain.” With some simple techniques, I started teaching my brain to process these sensations as safe. Combining SSP with PRT, within about a month my pain dropped even further—to about a 1.Around that same time, my three-year-old cat, who’s been with us since she was just two months old, suddenly started having health issues. She began peeing on the floor, and we noticed blood in her urine. We rushed her to the vet, but ultrasounds and lab work showed nothing. Medications and prescription diets didn’t help either.While I was in my second month of SSP, I remembered reading on Trever’s website that SSP could also help animals. I contacted him right away, and we set up a program for my cat. Getting her to listen wasn’t easy, but we managed. After the first week, she had one more incident, but after that—nothing. She completed the full SSP program in about a month and a half, and she hasn’t had a single issue since.That was a huge turning point for me. If SSP was just placebo, it wouldn’t have worked for my cat—she had no idea what it was.I still don’t fully understand the science behind how SSP calms the nervous system, but I don’t need to. What I know is this: it has helped both me and my cat in ways nothing else ever has. I’m so grateful for it, and I’d recommend it to anyone dealing with chronic pain or stress.

Wonderful Experience w/ Emma & SSP!
Emma is an incredible guide through the healing process of SSP! I have always felt so seen, supported, educated, respected, and helped by her. It has been a tremendously beneficial journey for me - my nervous system has definitely been healing and has gained so much more capacity. I’ve noticed that I have significantly less anxiety now. Highly, highly recommend!!

The benefit of Connect first
My experience with SSP has been both insightful and helpful. I started over 4 months ago but have had to go very slowly with the listening. Emma's insights and guidance has been incredibly helpful as my body seeks to heal from trauma. She recognized my symptoms and has been a huge help to me in understanding my own body and its reactions to SSP. I am only now after 4 months of listening to Connect starting to micro dose the Core part of program. I needed 4 months of Connect listening to help my body feel safe with the whole listening experience. Connect was a huge benefit to me! The micro dosing of listening is a key factor for my journey and I can't speak highly enough of Emma's wise counsel over these months to get me onto Core, I am optimistic about future healing using SSP and by having Emma in my corner.

Less Pain and Anxiety and Way More Joy!
I've long struggled with chronic pain from slipped discs in my neck and from medical interventions that didn't go according to plan. I'm also a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and like many HSPs, especially those who are also extroverted, I've spent a lifetime pushing through and putting myself out there, even when it’s physically painful, overstimulating, and exhausting.Since first starting SSP, I have exponentially experienced a greater capacity for joy while simultaneously feeling less anxiety and pain. I've tried so many tactics over the year, and while many have helped, SSP is the only thing that has stuck at this depth and has even made some of the things, like physical therapy, work better for me.I'm so grateful to Emma and the SSP Wellness Center for helping me feel so much better both mentally and physically!!!

I am loving my journey with SSP
I am loving my journey with SSP. It is deeply healing on so many levels.Emma and Trever provide an excellent support system, guidance and advice.

Excellent program, delivered with skill and compassion
I wasn't sure what to expect from SSP and have been so grateful for the care and skill with which the program is delivered. Emma's expertise and kindness have made it all very easy, and the communication has been excellent. The changes I am noticing so far are subtle but deep. It's a feeling of increased calmness and a reduction in the sense of danger connected to particular thoughts and memories. I am starting to feel like I am looking calmly at them from a safe distance, rather than being drawn back into the fear I felt when they were happening. This shift has in turn given me a new sense of optimism, after feeling for a long time that I was stuck in a state of constant high-alert. I'm excited to see what other changes might come, and would recommend the SSP Wellness Centre to anybody thinking of trying SSP.

Highly recommend!
The support I've received for beginning my journey with SSP has been incredible. The platform and website are easy to use, as is the app. The time and attention I've received from Emma has been instrumental to receiving the benefits of this amazing program. Her empathy, wisdom and experience shine through every email.

Positive changes and exceptional support at the SSP wellness center
The SSP Wellness Center has been an incredible resource for my son, who has ADHD. In just five weeks, we’ve already noticed positive changes in his mood, emotional regulation, understanding, and sleep. We’re eager to continue this journey and see even more benefits from the therapy. The communication and support he receives is exceptional. The dedicated team at SSP truly reflects their passion for helping others in every interaction.

Life-Changing Program with Excellent Facilitators
SSP is a life changing program. In just several weeks of doing daily or near daily sessions, I’m noticing gradual, small but significant changes in some mental and physical symptoms I’ve had for quite some time, that really add up as time goes on.The facilitators are fantastic - Trever is always there for questions/concerns when I need him, and the implementation of “microdosing” the listening sessions so not to overwhelm the nervous system is highly effective. Exceptional service overall.

Relaxing music and a supportive team
I’ve been having SSP for about 6 weeks now. I find listening to the music super relaxing….I love that you can choose your favourite type of music! The activation I’m getting started off very subtle….I’m noticing more now and it’s very manageable. Emma and Trever are very supportive throughout, checking in regularly to see how I’m doing. Explaining why I’m having the activation that I’m having, how it’s a positive sign, how to manage what is coming up for me and are on hand when I need to talk anything through. 😊
