What Happens During an RTT-Informed Hypnotherapy Session?
Rapid Transformational Therapy
RTT-Informed Hypnotherapy is rooted in Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) and incorporates therapeutic techniques and tools influenced by neuroscience, neuroplasticity, cognitive and behavioral concepts, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), all delivered through a trauma-informed approach.
Hypnosis and Exploring the Subconscious
During an RTT-Informed Hypnotherapy session, I gently guide you into a state of hypnosis and deep relaxation. While in this focused state of attention, together we explore subconscious patterns, conditioning, beliefs, and past scenes drawn from implicit and/or explicit memories.
This exploration of past experiences is approached in a safe and careful manner. Rather than focusing on the factual accuracy of every detail within each scene, we focus on the meanings, emotional and somatic responses, foundational beliefs, unmet needs, and patterns attached to the experience.
How Subconscious Scenes and Responses May Arise
A scene may be experienced differently by each person. Some may see one sharp and clear scene in their mind’s eye, whereas others may experience a cluster of scenes. For another person, the scene may be blurry or unclear, but the feeling is strongly felt. You may also experience a somatic response or physical sensation connected to the presenting problem. The subconscious may communicate in a variety of ways depending on the individual, and what is most important is working with the material as it is presented, understanding that it is often communicating something meaningful.
If a difficult, emotionally painful, or traumatic scene arises, we approach it gently as an experience being reviewed rather than something happening again in the present moment. When this occurs, I may utilize nervous system regulation tools and grounding techniques to support your comfort, sense of safety, and connection to the present. Strong feelings and emotions may sometimes be a part of this process, which some people experience as a much-needed release. However, you are never required or asked to push through anything that feels too difficult or overwhelming. My role is to support you in gently processing these emotions and past experiences at a pace that feels manageable and within a supportive container. Together, we work toward reframing and updating the meanings connected to these experiences to better support you in the present, allowing deeper emotional wounds to finally have an opportunity to heal.
In some cases, reviewing past scenes may not be necessary, particularly helpful, or desired. Depending on the goals, challenges, and circumstances of the individual, we may instead work with present-day patterns, protective parts, subconscious meanings and metaphors, somatic responses, and future-focused change. Each session is completely tailored to the individual, supporting what is most appropriate for their needs and goals.
Exploring Root Causes and Subconscious Meanings
While exploring scenes connected to the presenting problem, which often arise from childhood experiences, together we review, explore, and reframe the meanings attached to them to better support the desired behaviors, beliefs, perspectives, and goals in the present.
Through exploring root causes and unconscious influences that may be contributing to the presenting problem, deeper insights and meanings are often uncovered that may have previously existed beneath conscious awareness. For example, beneath a present-day pattern such as people-pleasing or difficulty receiving love, a person may uncover a foundational belief such as “I’m not lovable,” “I’m not enough,” or “I have to earn love and approval.” These beliefs are often formed through the meaning a child attaches to an experience, rather than through the experience itself. These become the subconscious stories written in the past that influence our life story in the present.
When working with a physical condition such as eczema, the session may uncover deeper subconscious meanings, associations, emotional stress, and even how a part of the subconscious may perceive the condition or its symptoms as playing an important role in the individual’s life, sometimes revealing an unconscious secondary gain. These unconscious patterns may influence how the person experiences or responds to their symptoms, without suggesting that the condition is consciously created or entirely psychological. This work is not intended to replace appropriate medical or psychological care; however, it can beautifully complement and support existing medical and mental health treatment.
These deeper insights revealed within the session can be powerful for reframing and updating the subconscious mind toward a new way of operating.
Reparenting and Updating Old Patterns
By first understanding how these deeper meanings, feelings, and foundational beliefs may have directly or indirectly contributed to the presenting problem, together we then reframe and update harmful patterns while disconnecting or disidentifying from them, replacing them with healthier, more expansive, and inspiring patterns.
Reparenting-based concepts are a foundational aspect of the therapeutic sessions I facilitate. These concepts may be incorporated in different ways depending on what arises in each session. This may include visualizing bringing one’s inner child into the present to help disconnect from past experiences in which the child had unmet needs or felt unsafe.
It may also look like speaking positively to the inner child, filling the child with praise, reassurance, and words they may have yearned to hear from their parents, teachers, or friends during childhood. It could also look like giving the inner child a voice to express how unmet needs, emotional pain, and parental influence impacted them.
Personalized Integration and Support
In each session, I collect the deep and powerful insights revealed throughout the experience, such as a meaningful phrase, visual, metaphor, or single unlocking word, and include them in a personalized hypnosis recording. The recording incorporates therapeutic suggestions, new perceptions, and new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. All designed to integrate and reinforce the changes that occurred. I also include each individual’s expressed wants, goals, and desired life transformations, gathered during the intake review call.
This personalized hypnosis audio is sent to you for daily listening for at least 21 days to help reinforce new patterns and support long-term change.
All therapeutic aspects of the session are personalized to each individual I work with, based on their own needs, goals, and unique life story.
Throughout the session, I support you through a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing your safety and what is most appropriate for your overall support plan. I may also integrate nervous system support and regulation tools, somatic inquiry, intuitive guidance, and the exploration of intergenerational patterns.
Toward the end of the session, I gently guide you out of hypnosis and back to your senses, the room around you, and your waking state. We then have a brief discussion about your experience, along with instructions on what to do next, before concluding the session.
Sessions are conducted online in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Each individual session has the potential to create powerful change, and my role is to support and guide you in accessing that incredible potential that already exists within you.
