Marisa Peer’s Rapid Transformational Therapy is designed to quickly identify the underlying cause of each client’s problems. Therapists have found that none of their clients were born with negative attitudes and behaviors; rather, they acquired them at some point in their lives. RTT removes limiting beliefs and behaviors swiftly and permanently by analyzing with the client where, how, and when they got them, and then assisting each client in understanding and reframing the beliefs that wounded them and held them back. This final step is crucial: in addition to relieving their pain, RTT teaches patients where it originates, preventing it from returning. Clients view RTT as a worthwhile investment since they receive just what they desire: liberation from their terrible past difficulties.

One of RTT’s most effective strategies is the pattern and sequence of asking questions used to extract what has occurred to the patient and, equally as essential, what they feel and think about what has occurred. It is intended to immediately reveal what lies underlying the client’s behaviors and thoughts and then expedite the client’s awakening. Moreover, it assures that the client guides the process.

A commonly misunderstood aspect of the RTT method is that we can never guarantee that the exact recollections brought up during “root cause work” in hypnosis are 100% correct or without reproach. Similarly, it would be impossible to demonstrate that childhood experiences brought up in a typical therapist’s office were completely and correctly remembered. The objective is not to check the actual veracity of these memories, but rather to recognize that the emotions elicited by these memories create an unhelpful narrative for the individual. We permit the individual to tell themself a more accurate account of what transpired so that they may heal.

When it comes to resolving the problems that afflict us, feelings count as much as, if not more than, the truth. Suppose a person recalls vividly being left in a crib at the age of 11 months. This may or may not have occurred precisely as the client recalls, and it is impossible to confirm. However, the fact that they bring it up under hypnosis may indicate that they have a connected notion that they are unwanted and will be rejected by those they care about. This belief is very accurate, and it is probably destroying their adult relationships now. In practice, RTT treats the narrative and the underlying belief, rather than the exact memory. The narrative will always feel authentic, even if the recollection is inaccurate.

Today, RTT is a potent training tool for therapists who study the culmination of more than thirty years worth of expertise. And for patients, it is a results-focused strategy that can be utilized in place of or in conjunction with other therapies.

Practitioners and therapists have gathered an abundance of anecdotal data and case studies demonstrating the efficacy of RTT. Nevertheless, we are eager and looking forward to the fact that we are starting to investigate the efficacy of RTT more robustly and systematically. In 2020, we initiated the collection of scientific evidence to verify our hypothesis that RTT is a successful therapeutic intervention, and by 2021, we had amassed a sufficient number of cases for our three most prevalent presenting issues: self-esteem/confidence, depression, and anxiety. Preliminary numbers are quite encouraging, and we are eager to make this knowledge more widely available as we gather and analyze more data and continue to assess the long-term impact of RTT.
