RTT FAQ’s

  • RTT, or Rapid Transformational Therapy, was created by Marisa Peer and is unique in the way it combines principles of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, neurolinguistic programming, cognitive behavioral therapy, neuroscience, and neuroplasticity to deliver fast, effective and long-lasting results. Through Rapid Transformational Therapy we can discover and unlock the life experiences that have created negative and self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back from living the life you want. Understanding is incredibly powerful and once you understand the root cause of your issue, we are then able to rewire and install new beliefs that create profound healing and incredible change.

  • RTT is a truly unique modality that offers a structured and comprehensive approach designed to bring about rapid and lasting change.

    Here are some key differences between RTT and traditional hypnotherapy or other modalities:

    1. Duration: RTT works quickly while still producing incredibly effective and long-lasting results. In a traditional hypnotherapy or coaching setting, you may attend regular sessions over many weeks, months and years whereas with RTT, we can get to the root cause of your issue quickly and provide tools for rapid change in as little as 1-3 sessions.

    2. Techniques: RTT uses a combination of techniques from various therapeutic modalities, not just hypnosis. This includes regression, which helps clients revisit past experiences to understand the root cause of their issues.

    3. Focus: RTT is highly focused on identifying and resolving the root cause of an issue quickly, whereas traditional hypnotherapy may be more gradual in its approach, often addressing symptoms and behaviors over time.

    4. Interactive: RTT is more interactive and conversational with the therapist guiding the client through the process and using specific language patterns and techniques to facilitate rapid change. Traditional hypnotherapy might be more passive, with clients spending more time in a relaxed, trance-like state.

    5. Outcome: The goal of RTT is to provide rapid, permanent change by reprogramming the subconscious mind. Traditional hypnotherapy also aims to effect change, but the process may be slower and more incremental.

  • With a background as a midwife and IVF nurse, I have knowledge and a special interest in fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and early parenthood. However RTT is helpful for so many different things including…

    • Fears and phobias

    • Motivation

    • Achieving goals

    • Stress

    • Panic attacks

    • Relaxation

    • Guilt

    • Memory and concentration

    • Additions such as smoking, drinking, gambling

    • Fertility

    • IVF treatment

    • Pregnancy

    • Birth 

    • Parenthood

    • Sports performance

    • Money blocks

  • As a midwife and IVF nurse, I know first hand that while pregnancy and birth can be an incredibly happy time, for many it brings its own challenges, worries, fears, anxiety and stress. 

    Conceiving, pregnancy and birth are so much more than the physiological processes involved. 

    Your mindset, emotional state, stress levels, limiting beliefs or negative thoughts play a huge role in how well you can navigate this time of your life. 

    While many may have heard of women using hypnosis for birth (and I’ve seen first hand how powerful this can be) there are so many other ways hypnosis and RTT can be used to support you during this time.

    Perhaps you're .....

    • navigating the complexities of a fertility journey

    • experiencing fear or worry about pregnancy or birth

    • feeling stress, pressure and the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatment

    • wanting to prepare yourself for a smooth pregnancy and birth

    • experiencing hormonal issues that are affecting your wellbeing

    • experiencing strain in your relationship due to fertility issues

    • feeling a diminished sense of self-worth and low self-esteem due to fertility challenges

    • feeling overwhelmed with your journey and 'stuck' with what path to take

    • carrying self-limiting beliefs that are affecting your wellbeing and impacting your journey to motherhood

  • To begin you’ll be guided into a relaxed state of hypnosis. During this state we’ll safely revisit experiences from your past which are related to a particular problem, fear, doubt or block you are facing in your life. We explore these memories from the perspective of your older, wiser self and identify the limiting beliefs and unhelpful thought patterns these experiences left you with.

    We are then able to upgrade and replace these old beliefs that never served you anyway with new ones that suit you, your goals and your vision for motherhood. You’ll then receive your very own personalised hypnosis recording to listen to daily for at least 21 days to really solidify the transformation you want to see within yourself.

  • There is no ‘right’ way to experience hypnosis, in fact it may not feel like you are in hypnosis at all. Sometimes people expect to feel markedly different in hypnosis but this isn’t true for everyone. You can expect to feel relaxed, but you will still be fully awake and not asleep. You will be in control and you will be able to remember the session afterwards. People can often have a big emotional release during hypnosis and tears are common as you process what comes up for you.

  • One of the main fears people often have about hypnosis is losing control, not being in control of yourself or being made to do something you don’t want to do. But hypnosis simply doesn’t work like this, you will never do something in hypnosis that your mind doesn’t already want you to do. In reality hypnosis gives you back control and allows you to harness the power of your own mind.

  • We always revisit scenes safely and it’s important to remember that if a traumatic scene does come up for you that you are only reviewing the scene, not reliving it. Sometimes it’s helpful to think of the scene playing on a TV or movie screen. Remember that you are in control, you are safe, the event is in the past and that I’m there with you, creating and holding a safe space for you.

  • RTT works brilliantly over video call and means that I can work with clients from all over the world. I understand that everyone is busy and I value your time and so working virtually means you can stay in the comfort of your own home, with no travel or parking to worry about.

    Don’t be put off by not working together in person - RTT is just as effective when done online.

  • A session is typically around 1.5-2 hours.

  • Although the session itself offers incredible insight and profound healing, the personalised hypnosis recording is really where you can rewire and install new beliefs that will enable you to live the life you want. There are two key concepts at play here, the first being that the mind learns through repetition and the second that the mind loves what is familiar and hates what is unfamiliar. So by listening to your recording every day for at least 21 days your mind is learning through repetition and you are also making these new positive and supportive beliefs familiar. Most people also find that they truly enjoy listening to their recording as it’s so relaxing and very different from a generic meditation or mindfulness audio track.

  • The hypnosis audio recordings are paired with relaxing music that incorporates binaural beats. Binaural beats cause changes in brainwave activity which encourage deeper levels of relaxation and increased receptivity to positive suggestions. Binaural beats are barely noticeable but you may be able to hear them as a slight pulsing sound. To experience the full benefits of binaural beats it is suggested to listen with headphones.

  • Everyone responds differently - you may feel a newfound sense of clarity and energy or you may feel introspective as you process what came up for you. In terms of when you’ll notice change, again everyone is different. You may notice an immediate change in your feelings, behaviours, thoughts and actions or the change may build slowly over the coming days and weeks. And sometimes you don’t notice the change at all as it’s happening, it’s not until you look back that you’ll see how far you’ve come.

  • You might be wondering why you should to the recording for 21 days? 

    The truth is that 21 days isn't a magic number or a hard and fast rule.

    It is based on some research that it takes 21 days to form a habit. And this is why you’ll see many programs that run for 21 days and a lot of discourse around needing to stick with something for 21 days for it to become automatic. 

    In reality, the time that it takes to change or form a new habit can vary from person to person. Some research shows that it can be as little as 5 days, with the average being 66 days but for some it can take over 250 days.

    So this isn’t to say that you won’t see results before 21 days, or that for others it won’t take longer. But 21 days is achievable and sets a solid foundation for change. 

    And of course you have lifetime access to your recording so you are more than welcome to continue listening for as long as you need to.
