You will have an initial 50 minutes session with Yara for general guidance about the SSP program and the Polyvagal ladder. During this session you will also have your first listening session to the SSP Core (for the adults), and intake and guidance (for parents who are doing SSP for their children) together with Yara. If other pathways are needed Yara will discuss this with you.

After the first session you will be listening to the SSP at home, under Yara’s guidance. Yara may also send you some supporting material via Voxer or email when/if necessary.

Results can vary. Some people start to notice some benefit after the first listening session. Others feel more noticeable changes in hour 3.

Positive results can continue to appear up to 7 weeks after your last listening session.

The SSP journey is very unique to each individual.

There is no prescribed set amount of time to finish the protocol. For best results the protocol needs to be tailored for each individual’s needs and nervous system’s responses.

Your purchase allows access to the SSP for 12 months, to do the maximum of 1 round of the Core pathway (and any other pathway that might be needed for your specific case) within the 12-month period.

It is important not to push hard to finish the 5 hours, as this program has to be carefully customised to each person’s pace.

There are many ways to titrate the protocol. In some cases clients finish at hour 3 or only listen to part of sections of each hour, in their first round of SSP. Others do the full 5 hours.

For best results is imperative not to push and to gently titrate to each individual nervous system and that's why Yara's expertise is crucial in the process.

Yara has found that this is the best way to make the most of the SSP experience.

In Yara's experience, this close interaction with client allows for the precise delivery for unique needs and accomplishes the best results in the SSP journey.

Yara will help you make adjustments to delivery, according to your nervous system’s responses and your current unique life circumstances.

No. The package only includes the SSP delivery and the initial SSP session. Plus, Voxer communication, Monday-Friday, to establish best delivery plan.

If you are looking for hands-on support you can apply for the 6-month mentorship.

Or if a 6-month mentorship is not for you, clients are also welcomed and even encouraged to continue their somatic 1:1 sessions with Yara to help process and integrate SSP.

The SSP is not a stand-alone intervention. It needs to be used in conjunction with other supportive interventions.

Yes, I do offer SSP to children. But this option is only available once I have worked with at least one parent/caregiver.

Or/and have offered enough nervous system and somatic education to at least one parent/caregiver.

It is imperative that at least one parent/caregiver is more regulated and is aware of the full process before they can support their children through the SSP journey.

In general terms, you first need to go through your own process of listening to SSP + 1:1 somatic sessions.

Alternatively, a few 1:1 somatic sessions + somatic education can be enough in some cases.

Then you are ready to support your child in the process. This way you will see the best results, in your child, with SSP.

You will be supporting the delivery of SSP to your child/children, in the comfort of your own home, under Yara’s guidance and supervision, with Voxer communication Monday-Friday.
