Individual make-up sessions will be available with one of the two group facilitators to be charged at $250 per individual session, and invoiced prior to the session.

Fees for coaching sessions must be paid in advance by credit card unless an alternative arrangement is agreed to in writing. Services not paid for in advance will not be provided. You are required to give 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or change the time of a zoom appointment. Riggs Psychology PLLC also agrees that every effort will be made to reschedule sessions which are cancelled in a timely manner. 

Yes, you will need the following equipment:

a) Computer with camera for video sessions

b) Smart phone or tablet

c) Over-the-ear headphones without noise-cancelling

d) Adapter to connect iPhone to headphones (not needed for wireless headphones)

If you decide to participate you will attend two 30 minutes sessions a week for 3 weeks with up to 5 other Long Haulers.  There will then be a 2 week break for you to listen on your own.  You will then attend another 3 weeks of two 30 minute sessions a week, then another 2 week break to listen on your own. And then a final group session to wrap up.

All sessions will happen over Zoom. While listening, you will engage in a relaxing non-verbal activity and/or rest. As the purpose is to support feeling safe, you are encouraged to bring with you any “props” that will make your experience more comfortable (special blankets, etc.).

The SSP Core is most effectively administered in quiet. We will avoid talking during the intervention, but can communicate as necessary via gesture or written note. The SSP Core is administered via an app for iphone or android or tablet and you will have the ability to pause the music as necessary in order to make the experience as safe-feeling as possible. Your group practitioners will also be with you via Zoom and will be monitoring the entire intervention. 

There are 2 facilitators for every group session so that if someone in the group is having a turbulent time or has a question or concern during the listening, they can go into a separate one on one check-in room and receive support with one of the facilitators while the other facilitator stays in the main room with the group.

Following the group administration of the SSP Core, it is recommended that you also listen to SSP Balance 2-3x a week for 6 months.  SSP Balance includes the same 5 hours of frequency modified music as the SSP Core, but with a lower frequency modulation that is constant throughout the 5 hours (SSP Core the frequency moduclation varies across the 5 hours according to an algorithm). As the name suggests this helps to further settle and balance the nervous system after the SSP Core intervention.  If you would like to continue with SSP Balance (which is all listen on your own, no need for facilitators or co-regulation) you will be charged an additional fee of $50 per month billed prior to each month for access to the program on your app. This is not included within the initial $1000 fee.
