Reviews / Votes
I recently had the privilege of briefly trying the Safe and Sound protocol described in this exciting new book and found the experience to be as advertised - I felt a shift toward more calm and openness. Using my language, it seems like the music helps protective parts relax so people can access more Self - that healing essence within everyone. I look forward to combining it with the approach I developed called Internal Family Systems, particularly with highly protective systems. -- Richard SchwartzMore details
