Carol Ann Brayley, MSW, RSW, SEP
From the moment I first encountered SSP I became very passionate about it. I learned with SSP very rapidly and lately I feel like I am coming to new understandings about SSP on an almost daily basis, that I believe may at times help to increase its effectiveness.
Carol Ann Brayley, MSW, RSW, SEP is an internationally recognized expert in delivering the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and a certified Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) provider. Known for her gentle, intuitive approach and deep nervous system expertise and sense of humour, Carol Ann has helped several hundred clients worldwide—ranging from age 2 to 78—with the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) since 2019.
She is a Unyte-approved mentor for SSP providers and was personally invited by Dr. Stephen Porges, Anthony Gorry, and Unyte to contribute to the 2024 RRP pilot study. She’s also the discoverer of the Mini Reset—a simple technique to immediately settle dysregulation—and discovered microdosing SSP for especially sensitive systems.
When SSP or RRP feel overwhelming or haven’t worked elsewhere, Carol Ann is often the provider people turn to for safe, individualized care. Her clients benefit not only from her clinical experience but also her lived experience as a highly sensitive, neurodivergent person who deeply understands the importance of pacing, attunement, and trust.
With Carol Ann, you are never “too complex”—you are deeply understood.
