FAQ
What is RTT®?
RTT® is a therapeutic approach that uses powerful, evidence-based techniques to provide people with the tools they need to make positive change.
The roots of RTT® are drawn from within areas of traditional psychotherapy such as gestalt, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness.
Its personalized approach works with clients to help them reframe any negative beliefs, values, habits and emotions – many of which they have carried with them since childhood.
Often, these have been so deeply buried in their subconscious that they are unaware of the past issues affecting them.
By giving the client the potential to alter the way they think and put an end to negative self-talk, they can approach life in a positive way and move forward.
How Does It Work?
Unlike traditional hypnotherapy, RTT® does not rely solely on positive reinforcement. RTT® goes beyond this and focuses on identifying how, where and when unhelpful beliefs and behaviors were formed. It then utilizes the leading scientific principles of neuroplasticity to enable the creation of new neural pathways in the mind.
The tools and techniques which form RTT® as a distinctive therapeutic approach are not purely theoretical. They were developed by renowned therapist and bestselling author Marisa Peer over the course of her 30-year career. Through hands-on experience, Marisa was able to establish what created real change, with real clients, in real sessions.
How is RTT® different from other therapies?
RTTⓇ helps the client uncover the root cause of why they feel the way they do. Unlike other therapies which focus on the issue or challenge, RTTⓇ helps the client discover the origin of the beliefs and behaviors that have led to their issue. Using a unique set of tools and techniques, RTTⓇ supports the client in transforming their current issue and moving forward with a new set of more beneficial and positive beliefs.
What Should I Expect From a Session?
Your RTT® professional will help you reach a deeply relaxed state to enable you to focus on past events. As the client, you will work alongside your RTT® professional to uncover the meaning and interpretation you created at the time and the beliefs you formed as a result. You can then move on to reframe the way you look at the past from your adult perspective today.
Once that has been achieved, your RTT® professional will help you to create new, positive beliefs. This will be reinforced with a personalized audio for you to listen to for 21-30 days to establish beneficial change going forward.
How does RTT® work?
Breakthroughs are achieved by understanding the root cause rather than just addressing the symptoms of the presenting issue. This is why RTT® has such a significant impact; it addresses issues from the core for life-changing benefits.
All RTT® professionals are equipped with an array of techniques and tools that are crucial in communicating with the subconscious mind and accessing and addressing whatever blocks there may be. From there, the mind can be reprogrammed for success.
What is RTT® used for?
Because RTT® is a complete, solution-based approach, it can be used in many different ways. RTT® has achieved phenomenal success in helping people overcome all kinds of challenges, including physical health issues, infertility, depression, anxiety, fears and phobias, and weight management. Marisa has personally helped countless celebrities, athletes and business leaders to be at the top of their game.
Is RTT® hypnotherapy?
RTT® embraces many of the positive aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy that are known to produce a transformative effect on clients. However, the RTT® method goes beyond traditional hypnotherapy by diagnosing what works best with clients to build a new, highly effective therapeutic approach.
Marisa explains that RTT® “…doesn’t come from a single methodology; it comes from the unique layering of techniques and beliefs that I created and now teach.”
How is the Marisa Peer Method different?
RTT® achieves outstanding results far quicker than many other therapeutic modalities, including talk therapies. RTT® is becoming more widely recognized because of its speed and effectiveness.
Unlike many hypnotherapy methods, RTT® does not rely solely on positive reinforcement. RTT® gets to the root cause of an issue, giving clients the most liberating understanding and transformative power to achieve dramatic, long-lasting results.
Marisa’s powerful reputation as one of the world’s most celebrated therapists is based on the results of her 30 years of intensive research and practice.
“I am a great believer that you cannot fix what you don’t understand, and RTT® works by first understanding how you got your issues and then freeing you from them for good by understanding the Role, Function and Purpose of the issue.”
– Marisa Peer
What's the difference between RTT® and NLP?
People who have heard of the RTT® method but have not experienced it for themselves may think it seems similar to neurolinguistic programming (NLP). It’s true that both NLP and RTT® can teach you how to better dialogue with your mind and understand the difference between what your subconscious and conscious minds believe. However, RTT® has the added—and crucial—step of directly accessing the root cause of the presenting issue. Old, negative thoughts and behaviors are then reframed and blocks removed. Only at that stage is positive reinforcement introduced and a new, positive form of inner dialogue created.
This is how RTT® can achieve results not obtained through other therapies.
