Question 1

What are the benefits of RRP?

Accepted Answer

The main areas of benefit from the RRP are stress, anxiety, sleep, PTSD and gut related functions. In all these areas the results have been amazing and the improvement in my clients has been fantastic.

Question 2

How long will it take for me to complete the protocol?

Accepted Answer

The 5 hours of RRP music is usually completed on average between 3 to 4 weeks. Every client is different and this is taken into consideration. Some people complete faster and some take a little longer. We work with clients to find the ‘just right’ speed of listening.

Question 3

How often will I be listening to complete the protocol?

Accepted Answer

The time commitment for the RRP is one hour per session and the sessions are scheduled  every other day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). The amount of time of actual listening in any session will be no more than 30 minutes. The rest of the hour long session is spent learning about the vagus nerve and regulation exercises for the vagus nerve.

Question 4

What equipment do I need for this protocol?

Accepted Answer

You will need a cellular phone, for the Rest and Restore app and a pair of over the ear head phones. If we are meeting over Zoom a separate device such as a laptop or tablet to access to Zoom is needed.

Question 5

How is the Rest and Repair Protocol different from the Safe and Sound Protocol?

Accepted Answer

The main two differences are the music and the effect on the vagus nerve. RRP is brand new music not available anywhere but through the RRP. It uses a new music innovation that entrains dampened biological rhythms in the organs below the diaphragm, allowing the body to find the rest and repair state. The second effect is the vagus nerve can find self regulation, fostering connection to the self.

Question 6

Who can participate in the RRP?

Accepted Answer

This protocol can be enjoyed for a lifespan of care. People of ages 2 – 100+ have participated in it. We focus on the adult population.
