Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)

What is Rapid Transformational Therapy?

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is a powerful healing approach that combines the best elements of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, and CBT into one comprehensive method. Developed by award-winning therapist Marisa Peer after 30+ years of working with clients ranging from Olympic athletes to royalty, RTT gets to the root of issues faster than many traditional therapies.

The beauty of RTT lies in its efficiency. Instead of spending months or years in therapy, many people experience profound shifts in just 1-3 sessions. That's because RTT bypasses your conscious mind's resistance and works directly with your subconscious, where limiting beliefs and emotional patterns are stored.

The Story Behind RTT

Marisa Peer created RTT after noticing a frustrating pattern in traditional therapy approaches. Clients would attend session after session, gaining insights about their problems but not necessarily experiencing the deep transformation they needed. Drawing on her extensive experience working with thousands of clients worldwide, she developed a method that combines the most effective elements from various therapeutic disciplines.

What makes RTT unique is its focus on not just understanding your challenges but actually rewiring the subconscious beliefs that created them. By accessing the subconscious mind through gentle hypnosis, RTT allows you to identify, understand, and transform the root causes of issues that may have been holding you back for years.

How RTT Can Help You

People seek out RTT for all kinds of reasons. You might be surprised by the range of issues it can address:

Anxiety and stress: Find calm and peace by addressing the root causes of your anxiety
Depression: Discover and transform the underlying beliefs contributing to depressive patterns
Phobias and fears: Release irrational fears that have been limiting your life
Weight management: Address emotional eating and develop a healthier relationship with food
Self-confidence: Build genuine self-worth that doesn't depend on external validation
Addiction and unwanted habits: Break free from patterns that no longer serve you
Chronic pain: Reduce pain by addressing the mind-body connection
Sleep issues: Restore natural, restful sleep patterns
Performance anxiety: Excel in your career, sports, or creative pursuits
Relationship patterns: Transform how you connect with others and yourself

Most clients appreciate that RTT doesn't just help manage symptoms—it aims to resolve the underlying causes, creating lasting change rather than temporary relief.

What Happens During an RTT Session?

If you're curious about the actual experience of RTT, here's what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation
Your journey starts with a conversation about what's bringing you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. This helps your therapist understand your unique situation and tailor the approach specifically to your needs.

2. The RTT Session (90-120 minutes)
Unlike traditional weekly therapy, an RTT session is longer (typically 90-120 minutes) but fewer sessions are required. During this time:

Relaxation: Your therapist will guide you into a relaxed, hypnotic state. Don't worry—this feels similar to being absorbed in a good book or movie. You remain aware and in control the entire time.
Regression: Together, you'll explore significant memories and experiences that contributed to your current challenge. Many clients are surprised by the connections they discover.
Reframing: This is where the magic happens. Your therapist helps you reinterpret these formative experiences, releasing negative beliefs and installing more empowering ones.
Transformation: Through powerful suggestions and dialogue with your subconscious mind, new neural pathways begin forming, creating the foundation for lasting change.

3. Personalised Recording
After your session, you'll receive a custom recording created specifically for you. Listening to this daily for 21 days reinforces the new beliefs and patterns established during your session, helping them become your new normal.

4. Follow-up
Many issues can be resolved in a single RTT session, though some complex challenges might require 2-3 sessions. Your therapist will check in with you to monitor your progress and provide support as needed.

What Makes RTT Different from Other Therapies?

You might be wondering how RTT compares to other approaches you've tried or heard about:

RTT vs. Traditional Hypnotherapy

While traditional hypnotherapy uses suggestion during a hypnotic state, RTT goes deeper by:

• Actively identifying root causes through regression
• Directly addressing and reframing limiting beliefs
• Providing personalized recordings for ongoing reinforcement
• Combining elements from multiple therapeutic disciplines

RTT vs. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

CBT focuses on changing conscious thought patterns and behaviors, which is valuable but can take months of weekly sessions. RTT works differently by:

• Accessing the subconscious mind where deep patterns are stored
• Addressing the emotional origins of beliefs rather than just the thoughts themselves
• Creating rapid change through intensive sessions rather than incremental weekly work

RTT vs. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

While both approaches can help process trauma, RTT differs by:

• Using hypnosis to access subconscious patterns
• Focusing on reframing and understanding rather than just processing
• Employing personalized recordings for continued integration
• Addressing a wider range of issues beyond trauma

RTT vs. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

NLP and RTT both recognize the importance of language patterns, but RTT adds:

• The deeper access provided by hypnotherapy
• Specific regression techniques to uncover root causes
• A more comprehensive approach to rewiring subconscious beliefs
• Personalized audio for ongoing reinforcement

Finding the Right RTT Practitioner for You

The effectiveness of your RTT experience depends significantly on working with a qualified practitioner who's the right fit for you. Here's what to look for:

Certification Matters
Ensure your practitioner has completed the official RTT training program certified by Marisa Peer. This comprehensive training ensures they understand the authentic methodology and techniques that make RTT effective.

Specialist Experience
Many RTT practitioners focus on specific areas like anxiety, weight management, or performance issues. Look for someone who has experience with your particular challenge—they'll have deeper insights into your situation.

Connection and Trust
The therapeutic relationship matters. Most practitioners offer an initial consultation call, which is a great opportunity to see if you feel comfortable with them. Trust your instincts—you should feel safe and understood.

Check Their Track Record
Review testimonials, case studies, and before-and-after results. Experienced RTT practitioners should have plenty of success stories to share.

Preparing for Your RTT Session

To get the most from your RTT experience, a little preparation goes a long way:

Set Clear Intentions
Take some time to reflect on what you truly want to change or achieve. The more specific you can be about your goals, the more targeted your session will be.

Physical Preparation
In the days before your session:

• Stay well-hydrated
• Get good sleep
• Limit alcohol and caffeine
• Find a quiet, private space for your session if it's online

Mental Preparation
Come with an open mind. You don't need to "believe" in hypnosis for it to work—you just need to be willing to engage with the process. Remember that all hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis, and you remain in control throughout.

Be Ready to Participate
RTT is a collaborative process. Your practitioner will guide you, but your active participation makes all the difference. Be prepared to be honest about your experiences and feelings.

Common Questions About RTT

"Will I lose control during hypnosis?"
No. Hypnosis is actually a state of heightened awareness and focus where you remain completely in control. You can speak, move, and even open your eyes if you choose to. Think of it as being absorbed in a movie or book—you're focused but fully aware.

"What if I can't be hypnotised?"
Everyone who wants to be hypnotized can be. It's not about "going under" but rather about following along with the guided relaxation. If you can daydream or get lost in thought, you can experience hypnosis.

"How many sessions will I need?"
Most issues can be effectively addressed in 1-3 sessions. Your practitioner will discuss this with you based on your specific situation. RTT is designed to create rapid change, not to keep you in therapy indefinitely.

"Is the change permanent?"
RTT aims to create lasting transformation by addressing the root causes of issues. For most clients, the changes are permanent, especially when reinforced by listening to your personalised recording for the recommended 21 days.

"Can RTT help with [specific issue]?"
RTT has been used successfully for an incredibly wide range of issues. If you're wondering about a specific challenge, reach out to a practitioner for a consultation. Most RTT therapists are happy to discuss whether their approach would be helpful for your situation.

If you're feeling stuck, struggling with an issue that won't seem to resolve, or simply ready for a profound change in your life, RTT could be the approach you've been looking for.
