Difference between RTT and Hypnotherapy

Marisa Peer, the developer of RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) has made an exceptional leap in the area of therapy by taking into consideration, various fields of NLP, CBT, hypnotherapy, and psychotherapy to create a uniquely powerful therapy with the potential to help people overcome their issues. She discovered a way to help people overcome issues, reframe past experiences and create a more positive narrative for themselves of who they are. In her own words, she calls this Rapid Transformational Therapy because it offers just that – an approach that can have life-changing results for people after just one or two sessions.

Rapid Transformational Therapy and Hypnotherapy are used interchangeably by some people but that is not correct. They are significant and applicable in their own ways. Rapid Transformational Therapy taps into the neural pathways of the subconscious mind and lets you connect with your inner self and hypnotherapy is a type of mind-body intervention where hypnosis is used to increase motivation or alter behaviour patterns. Although they also differ in respect of time interval taken since hypnotherapy usually takes a series of sessions to identify and minimize the problem whereas rapid transformational therapy takes not more than three sessions to do the same.

How does Rapid Transformational Therapy works?

Rapid Transformation Therapy is basically practical neuroscience that taps into the neural pathways of your brain and helps your subconscious mind to express its true potential of yourself. It works on a particular issue at a particular time to give more impact rather than how the technique of hypnotherapy performs. RTT therapist works in such a way wherein he/she tries to uncover all of the problems related to a particular issue and tries to eradicate them, all at once in a couple of sessions. Rapid Transformational Therapy, although it works with different modes of therapy, embraces many of the positive aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy too. RTT works on the root cause of the issue, how it emerged, what were the factors responsible for its emergence, and working on removing the core issue so that you can live guilt-free, and with no absolute regret!
You will be led into a deep dive into your past memories, focusing on what is causing the problem for you to behave or act in a way you are doing right now. She says that if we are the person who can say to ourselves, “I am not good enough” or “I can’t do this.”, then we are the ones that can undo this negative backlash by ourselves. RTT has proven to be one of the quickest forms of healing as compared to other modalities. For some, one session is all it takes to understand and let go for good while some others might take a bit longer depending upon the complexity of the issue.

How Hypnotherapy works?

Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy, is a trance-like state in which your focus is heightened and concentration levels are much higher than your normal state. It dips into the depths of your subconscious mind but the control is in the hand of the therapist who acts as a navigator and uses verbal repetition and mental images as a guide to identify the issues you’ve been having. It is an effective method to cope with stress, depression, and anxiety. Hypnosis has been used to relieve pain before medical procedures as well like people having severe burns, cancer, childbirth, etc.
Hypnotherapy is usually a safe procedure but an important note to mention is that there should be a certified hypnotherapist or a trained therapist who conducts this therapy, if not done properly, people usually suffer from daily headaches, dizziness, false hallucinations, etc. which can be harmful to a person’s mind.
RTT is a wider application than hypnotherapy as RTT takes hypnotherapy into perspective while the latter works on its own principles. Hypnotherapy includes a single approach of its own whereas RTT works on hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programme (NLP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one-to-one sessions, etc. How many sessions you need of hypnotherapy will depend on your individual issue or symptom. About six sessions are typically recommended for effective results and are also supported by data. RTT only requires one single session to target a particular issue. So for example, if you're looking for help with problem A, that would be in one session. All the issues about problem A will be resolved in a quick span of time which would be the same session. If you also want to resolve a problem different than A, let’s name it problem B, that would be another session. Because of the nature of your session- the duration, the cadence of approach, and the after-care, RTT will do an expert job at hitting all of the sweet spots necessary to effectively target your issue.
