The Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP)

Listening Therapy to Heal Body, Mind, and Spirit

Why try the RRP?

The Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) is a new listening therapy created by Safe and Sound Protocol™ (SSP) developer Dr. Stephen Porges and musician Anthony Gorry. The RRP targets the healing qualities of the nervous system, promoting deep relaxation and fostering a profound sense of safety and trust within the body. The RRP is particularly beneficial for addressing a variety of issues related to the complex brain-gut connection, including persistent chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and various digestive problems.

What is the RRP?

The RRP is five hours of music that contain the physiological rhythms of the body. Aspects of our heartbeat, respiration, cranio-sacral rhythm, digestion, and more have been infused into it via a new audio technology called Sonocea®, entraining the nervous system through rhythmic stimulation. Dr. Porges describes listening to the RRP as “being gently rocked while floating on a raft without any fear of falling off.”

The RRP was brand new in 2024, and its effects are still being studied. Preliminary data, however, suggests gains in the following areas:

Reduced depression and anxiety
Improved digestion
Increased physical, mental, and emotional ease
Better sleep
Fewer cravings
Enhanced efficacy of other therapies
Decrease in PTSD symptoms

More information about the RRP and how it works can be found at this official Unyte/RRP site.

Why these Groups?

The RRP is divided into 10 Tracks across three Levels. It is a powerful modality, and providers are still learning about its effects. As with the SSP, careful adherence to the “Less is More” principle is key to realizing a positive experience.

Because of this, and because clients are reporting helpful outcomes with listening to and repeating just the first Level, I’ve decided to offer a series of three short groups. This will make access more affordable, will allow time to titrate RRP dosage, and will foster an atmosphere of comfortable co-regulation.

If you are curious, this is an exchange rate-mindful, low cost way to experience some or all of the RRP. You will:

connect with a small, supportive group of colleagues,
realize personal growth, and
learn experientially about the potential benefits of the RRP for your own clinical practice.

I’ve been a certified SSP Provider since 2019, and a certified RRP Provider since early 2025. I keep current with training updates, and am also a remote SSP and RRP facilitator.

I participated in the first and second pilot studies of the RRP in 2024, and experienced what I describe as a “gradual, deep unthawing” within my core. Gains I’ve observed in other somatic therapies (SE, bodywork) have happened more quickly and been long-lasting.

I believe the RRP has the potential to transform how we address developmental and severe trauma, freeing clients from challenging habitual shutdown states and offering them more direct access to their innate healing potential.

A detailed schedule and other supportive materials will be sent to all participants upon registration. The groups will be conducted in English.

Who is Eligible?

This group is intended for Somatic Experiencing® Practitioners (SEP™’s) or similarly-trained professionals who have experience processing emotional material in a collective setting. The RRP can be a powerful stimulus. While the group will form and hold a supportive container, participants must be familiar with their personal nervous system responses and have confidence in their ability to witness and to self-regulate these responses.

The RRP is not intended to be a stand-alone therapy. Access to supportive resources during and after is strongly recommended and is the responsibility of the participant. For more information about best listening practices, please click here.
