Stress Sleep

At Brain Harmony, many treatment plans included the completion of the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) at home for 5 days because it is so effective in calming the hard wiring of the neurological system. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the SSP is a five-day intervention designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivities while enhancing social engagement and resilience. By calming the physiological and emotional state, the door is opened for improved communication and more successful therapy.

This non-invasive intervention involves listening to music that has been processed specifically to reorganize the nervous system (regulating state) to introduce a sense of safety and the ability to socially engage. This allows the client to better interpret not only human speech, but importantly, the emotional meaning of language. Once interpersonal interactions improve, spontaneous social behaviors and an enhanced ability to learn, self-regulate, and engage are often seen. The SSP when delivered by Occupational Therapists has been effective in calming the emotional and physiological state by improving vagal regulation of the heart and improving auditory functions, as well as, improving difficulties in social communication. 

Our proprietary 5-Step Plan of Care is based on proven protocols, therapeutic activities, with over 20 years and 250,000+ hours of combined clinical practice.

Most importantly, our 5-Step Plan of Care is completely tailored to your unique challenges, needs, and goals. 

So you can get the personalized care you (or your child) needs to achieve the outcomes you need. 

Anxiety, High Stress, Panic Attacks During Sleep, and Executive Function

Steppie had stress to the point of barely functioning, in a constant state of fight-or-flight, unable to work, anxiety so intense she couldn't even see the world around her, and panic attacks in the middle of the night. After working with Brain Harmony, she says she could focus on work for hours at a time, see the simple beauty around her on her walks, and sleep through the night. Watch her testimonial above, to hear the joy in her voice as she reflects on her before - and her after.

“You’ll have so many personal rewards because of it…Brain Harmony is so supportive and so caring, they’ll help you have a life back.”

Stress Sleep, Anxiety, PTSD, TBI, Emotional Dysregulation

Richard is a Veteran who came to us feeling "Crippling anxiety, extremely short fuse, almost ADHD-like symptoms of difficulty focusing. I would be extremely short-fused and the smallest things would set me off in conversation. I would fly off the handle and shut down. That alone would lead to sleepless nights or an increase in my side effects from PTSD and constant worry."

After working with us, Richard shared, "I started to notice a change in how I approach my thought patterns. Where previously things would seem just overwhelming on even the most minute scale, they were fitting together like a better puzzle. And I was able to take a step back and really assess the situation in a better light…it is a very dynamic process and it’s working."

Listen to his story above.

Sleep, Focus, and Cognitive Function

Mark has suffered from sleep, attention, and mental clarity issues for years. After only a few weeks of therapy he was able to sleep through the night, stop the use of his sleep and attention deficit medication, and regain the energy and mental clarity he needs to stay sharp through his intensive work week. He has even built stronger connections with his family.

“Getting a good night sleep is everything to me so it has changed my life that way. My energy is higher than if I was on caffeine, my mental clarity is much much more improved, and I can only chalk it up to this treatment that I have been on with you in the last couple of weeks. It’s wild.”

Sleep Struggles, Brain Fog, Anxiety

Nancy is a nurse in an intensive care unit and was suffering from anxiety, brain fog, and depression. She was having trouble with processing, getting her thoughts down on paper, word retrieval, and memory. She had tried pharmaceuticals and lifestyle changes to address these issues, but they just weren’t working, so she went on the hunt for another solution. After a short time using Brain Harmony’s therapies, like the Safe and Sound Protocol and the Alpha Stim, Nancy’s anxiety dissipated, she started enjoying life, sleeping better, her brain fog went away, and her cognitive function improved tremendously. She feels like Brain Harmony was the missing key in her health journey.

“It’s easy to use, you’re expertly guided, you can do it on your own at your own pace, and it can have a profound impact on your life. I really feel that this was the missing piece to help my overall quality of life”

Academic Struggles, Anxiety, Sleep, Sensory Integration

Cassie and her husband were at their wits end after trying everything to help manage their son Emery’s stress, insomnia, and trouble learning at school. When Cassie heard about Brain Harmony on a Wellness Mama podcast, she knew she had to give it a shot. After an incredible free consultation, she decided to have the whole family begin the therapy. Within a short amount of time Emery began sleeping, his stress levels went down tremendously, he started excelling in school, and for the first time in his life he was playing sports with his siblings. His two brothers also saw incredible improvements in stress levels, creativity, and learning. His youngest brother in kindergarten is even reading at a 1st grade level!

“We were kind of at our wit’s end and just didn’t really have a lot of options, so I thought - what do I have to lose? We had been two years on multiple different doctors appointments and not getting anywhere. So I reached out to you for the free consult, and after speaking with you it was like you knew things that no other doctor had ever put the pieces together, and I just thought okay this is a definite for Emery. Really this is the only things that’s worked for us… you pick him up from school and he had a smile on his face… his quality of life has just really increased tremendously.”

ADD, Academic Struggles and Anxiety, Leading to Stress Sleep

Grant struggled with ADD, focus, nervousness, and anxiety for most of his life - preventing him from enjoying life to the fullest and performing at his peak potential at school. After working with Brain Harmony, Grant has achieved AB Honor Roll, has become more affectionate, and has tapped into his new found love for creative writing.

"Anxiety wise - before, I'd just get panic attacks just.. thinking about the future and how it's going to effect me. But now I've just been thinking about now." - Grant

"You have absolutely nothing to lose. No matter where you're at mentally, you have room to improve always. And it can be life-changing if you'll just give it a shot." - Grant's Mom
