What is RTT, Rapid Transformational Therapy?

RTT is short for Rapid Transformational Therapy. But do these words even belong together in the same sentence? Our perception is usually that therapy is a slow process and you can go to psychotherapy for years.

Therapy comes from the Greek therapeia and means service, care, healing.

According to the dictionary, transformation means - radical change of form, transformation, reshaping, transformation, which is also usually associated with something that takes time.

Personally, I have come to know "Rapid Transforming Therapy" as it claims to be, an incredibly exciting, effective and powerful form of therapy that goes deep into the subconscious and inexorably finds the root cause of the problem.

The tools used in therapy are chosen with care and with 100% focus on efficiency and results. The goal is always to give the client a quick and permanent change. What strongly contributes to making the therapy go deep and is made transformative is that the therapy is performed in a hypnotic state. Therefore, only one treatment is usually needed.

Who is the person behind this revolutionary form of therapy?

Marisa Peer is one of the UK's most well-known therapists. She has been a therapist for almost her entire working life, which means 35 years. She has written five books and is a sought-after speaker and columnist. She has been featured in Tatler's guide The UK's 250 Best Doctors. Therapists go to Marisa for therapy.

Marisa discovered early in her professional life as a therapist common deep basic denominators in her clients. She questioned some authorities' claims about the complexity of the mind with the argument - if the mind is so complex that it "takes a lifetime to understand it", how are we going to help someone? "

Furthermore, what presented itself as a series of symptoms very often had as a root cause, a feeling of inadequacy, not feeling good enough.

Through experiences from thousands of clients, including other well-known actors, athletes and royalty, she has put together a system, a methodology of tools, which together capture the root cause of the client's problem and illuminate it so that the client gets a basic understanding of the cause and how it formed. With the help of that understanding, it is transformed into new beliefs the client has described during the presession interview that the client strives for.

She has picked the techniques / tools that she thinks have worked best from psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP and CBT.

RTT as a method has received a number of awards, including the Stevie Awards for effective therapy. She has had Gil Boyne (an American pioneer in modern hypnotherapy) as a mentor and other big names like Milton Ericson, David Viscott and Dave Elman as teachers and inspiration in hypnosis.

RTT has also been described as practical neuroscience because one works in a neuroplastic state, hypnosis, when the subconscious mind accepts new ideas and instructions that it would otherwise not do in its daily state of consciousness. Through hypnosis, one passes the normal critical consciousness, and instructions can be given directly to the subconscious, which drives unwanted behaviors, but which also holds the potential to build positive habits that are consciously chosen.

Neuroplasticity can be described as the brain's inherent ability to constantly learn new things and be physiologically transformed throughout life. That thoughts and behaviors that are performed often, form "trampled paths" in the neural network (the network of brain cells) and that one can "trample new paths" (behaviors) and let even deep-seated behaviors die due to lack of use and attention.

RTT is very focused on the language and words we use.

RTT recognizes and uses the creative power of language. Which language lowers our mood and creates self sabotaging behaviour, and which language motivates, builds and stimulates the imagination. The language we use in speech, but also in our inner speech, our inner dialogue and the opinion, the value we have about ourselves, our self-image. Our talk about ourselves to ourselves. (if you when you read this think “I have no such voice” then that is exactly what I mean :)

Furthermore, one basic fundamental rule rule in RTT is? that thought comes first and is the cause, to emotions, feelings..

As we think we feel, and as we feel we act or behave, which in turn produces circumstances and results. Everything you feel and everything your mind reacts to depends on only two things: the words you use and the images you create in your mind.

When we want to build new behaviors, it is important to stimulate the mind with a powerful, sensational, creative and imaginative language.

What is hypnosis?

We move naturally through cycles of different states of consciousness through the rhythm of a day. At dawn, the pineal gland in the middle of the brain is stimulated via daylight and the optic nerve to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin for day consciousness, and activity in the external world. And when the sun sets, the neurotransmitter melatonin is produced to get us relaxed and ready for sleep.

When brain cells communicate with each other they send out electrical charge that gives rise to brain waves.

In the awake state, the brain is dominated by different types of beta brain waves (14-30 Hz, oscillations per second), and in sleep and deep sleep, theta (4-8 Hz) and delta brain waves dominate, which are the slowest (1-3 Hz, oscillations per second).

Beta brain waves are "ordinary" day-conscious, while theta and delta brain waves belong to the subconscious. Between the theta and the beta brain waves we have alpha brain waves (8-13 Hz, oscillations per second). Alpha brain waves can be said to constitute the borderland between the conscious and the subconscious.

It is a creative, learning, here and now or "awake relaxation", focus, visualization, creation. A state where the inner world is more real than the outer. Hypnosis is a state of alpha, and in some cases theta brain waves. In this state, one can successfully work with therapeutic tools of which RTT is an example. Hypnosis, alpha brain waves is as natural a condition for us as are the other brain wave states in our brain! And they are dominant during certain times of the day.?

What makes RTT unique?

If one compares RTT but conventional hypnotherapy, we can see that there are actually more differences than similarities. Conventional hypnotherapy usually consists of a long induction, (the technique of taking a client into hypnosis) of about half an hour, and the rest of the session consisting of positive suggestions, instructions.

RTT has a rapid induction, relaxing down into hypnosis, max ten minutes. The majority of the session is then devoted to using the tools, which are seven. The basic tool is regression back to three scenes. The other tools are used intuitively depending on what appears. Suggestions or new instructions are then used in an audio recording, a so-called transformation, which the client must then listen to daily for three weeks to amplify and encode the changes of the session. “Trample” a new neural path.

What can RTT help me with?

Addictions, anxiety and stress symptoms, diet and exercise problems, sleep, nervousness before impoertant interviews, exams, taking a driving licence, public speaking etc. Infertility, pain problems, concentration, self-confidence and memory. And much more. (see and download intake form at www.itoi.online)
