Autum described Garth’s response to the RRP as “miraculous.” He stopped having aggressive episodes in the month that he completed listening. Garth’s mother noted that he became much more flexible when it came to change as well, indicating that he was “happier, more easily able to deal with challenges in transitions and the demands of school.” His mother also shared Autum’s excitement about his progress, stating that “the transformation in Garth has been profound. He is no longer trapped in fight-or-flight mode in response to every stressor. Instead of reacting impulsively, Garth now takes the time to pause and think before responding. Before starting RRP, he would retreat into himself, trying to go unnoticed. Now, he confidently approaches peers to say hello or wave—behaviors that were unheard of before RRP.”

AS “felt an immediate reduction in tension” following her first RRP session. In the successive sessions, she began to notice where she was holding tension, allowing her to be more present and aware in her body. After she progressed to the second level, she felt an immense improvement in her relaxation levels, even falling asleep while listening. AS noticed the most improvement in the first two hours of listening.

The most impactful response Ryan experienced with RRP was a change in sleep habits. Almost immediately, his parents noticed that he could fall asleep faster and for longer. Prior to RRP, Ryan was typically only sleeping for 4 hours a night, according to his FitBit monitor. After beginning the listening, he was able to stay asleep for 9-10 hours. The quality of this sleep also improved, becoming less restless and more relaxed. Ryan would often have bags under his eyes beforehand, indicating how little sleep he was getting. These bags disappeared after his sleep duration and quality increased, visually demonstrating an improvement.
