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.
RRP is not a standalone therapy; it complements existing treatment strategies for individuals working with care providers.
While research and development are ongoing, RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body. RRP embeds biological rhythms into unique musical themes, signaling the healing functions of the autonomic nervous system.
Rest and Restore Protocol™ is delivered exclusively by certified providers through digital delivery via the Unyte platform. Clients experience a dynamic, progressive program, including five hours of Sonocea® Enhanced musical themes.
Healing professionals and healthcare providers can integrate RRP with other healing practices and modalities to provide holistic support to their clients.
