What is Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)?
Rapid Transformational Therapy, or RTT works directly with your symptoms. It is a type of therapy that aims to help you change how you think, feel, and act in a very short amount of time. It combines different methods like hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to get to the root cause of your issues quickly.
70% of our issues come from diseased thinking. Think of it like a fast track to mental health, where instead of taking many sessions, you might see big changes after just one or two sessions. It's designed to help you understand and transform the beliefs and behaviors that have become your story and kept you in looping patterns.
Is RTT Safe?
When conducted by a trained and certified RTT therapist, it's considered very safe. It's important to choose a therapist who has been trained by Marisa Peer and her team. RTT involves deep relaxation, similar to meditation, where you are always in control and aware.
How Does RTT Work?
During an RTT session, you'll work with Krista who uses a relaxation technique, similar to a guided meditation, to help you access your subconscious mind. This is the part of your mind where all your deep-seated beliefs and memories live. Krista will guide you to explore these areas, helping you to understand events from your past or current life that affect you negatively.
After identifying these, she uses specific techniques to reframe these beliefs or memories, giving you new, positive ways to think and act. It's like editing a script in your mind to have a happier ending or going back and to re-write your story.
What Can RTT Help With?
RTT can be used for a wide range of issues. This includes overcoming anxiety, depression, phobias, weight issues, addiction, low self-esteem or confidence, imposter syndrome, sleep issues, relationship problems, fertility struggles, trauma, grief and even physical pain or ailments that might have a psychological component.
RTT is also a powerful tool for athletes and sporting teams wanting to take their sport to a higher level.
Essentially, if something in your life is caused or exacerbated by how you think or feel, RTT can potentially help. It's about getting to the why behind your struggles and changing that narrative.
How Is RTT Different from Other Therapies?
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which might take weeks, months, or even years to see results, RTT aims for quick transformation. It's not about just talking through your problems but actively changing the subconscious patterns that drive those problems. RTT uses hypnosis to bypass the conscious mind's defenses and directly address the subconscious.
Also, while cognitive behavioral therapy might focus on changing thought patterns through conscious effort, RTT seeks to reprogram these patterns at a deeper level, offering potentially faster and more lasting change.
How is RTT different from regular hypnosis?
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and typical hypnosis both involve guiding someone into a relaxed state where they can be more open to suggestions, but there are some key differences:
1. Speed and Structure:
• RTT: It's designed to be faster. Often, significant changes are aimed for in just one to three sessions. RTT combines elements from various therapeutic methods like hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychotherapy, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). RTT uses a structured approach where you go through stages like understanding, reframing, and transformation.
• Typical Hypnosis: This can take longer because it's often less structured. Sessions might focus on one issue at a time, and the number of sessions can vary widely depending on the therapist and the issue.
2. Depth of Exploration:
• RTT: goes deeper into the root cause of issues. The therapist might ask you to recall where your issues started, often going back to childhood or significant past events, to understand why you feel or act a certain way. Once you see where and why it all began it helps to reprogram those beliefs or behaviors.
• Typical Hypnosis: While it can also explore past events, the focus might be more on directly changing behaviors or habits through suggestion without as much emphasis on where they originated.
3. Techniques Used:
• RTT: Uses a variety of techniques to not just address but transform how you think and feel about your issues. This includes direct suggestions, regression, and lots of dialogue to reframe your perceptions.
• Typical Hypnosis: Might rely more on direct suggestions or imagery to help with habits, stress, or pain management. The focus can be more on symptom relief rather than transformation of the underlying issue.
4. Goal Orientation:
• RTT: The goal is not just to manage symptoms but to transform the client's relationship with the issue at a core level, aiming for lasting change.
• Typical Hypnosis: While it can also aim for lasting change, it often focuses on managing or alleviating symptoms more directly.
Think of RTT as a quick, deep dive into your mind to fix the problem at its source using a mix of tools, while typical hypnosis might be like using a gentle nudge or suggestion to manage or change behaviors on the surface. Both can be effective, but they approach therapy from slightly different angles.
