What is RTT^® (Rapid Transformational Therapy) and how does it work

Our nervous system is made up of two parts, the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, a collective term for the nervous system structures that do not lie within the central nervous system.

There are on average 86 billion neurones in the human brain, and every single one of them can form thousands of connections with other neurons, leading to a complex network of hundreds of trillions of synapses that enable brain cells to communicate with each other. To put this in perspective, there are a total of about 4,500 visible stars during the blackest of nights while our beautiful galaxy, the Milky Way, is estimated to contain actually “only” between 100 and 400 billion stars.

A key function of the brain is to provide coherent control over our actions. During every second of our life the brain collects a huge amount of data from the sense organs. This data is processed to extract information about the structure of the environment and, subsequently combined with information about our current needs, internal models of the world and with memory of past circumstances. Finally, on the basis of the results, our brain generates motor response patterns.

We are obviously not aware of this because it occurs on a level of consciousness that is below our level of awareness, on a level that is referred to as sub-conscious or unconscious or non-conscious.

When we speak of the subconscious or unconscious or non-conscious we often also use the word “mind” and talk of levels of the mind, although the mind has still not been defined. What exactly is the mind is still an ongoing debate; some believe the mind to be a set of faculties including cognitive aspects such as consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, intelligence, judgement, language and memory, as well as non-cognitive aspects such as emotion and instinct, others that it is a still mysterious but specific energy that uses the brain to express itself. Until this debate is settled, I believe it is better to talk of processes of which we are not aware, but of which we experience the results.

Our brain’s continuous acquisition and storage of information is also used to generate adaptive behaviours.
Consider the complex set of reflexes you would make if you were to slip as you walk down a staircase. In a matter of some hundreds of milliseconds your brain can interrupt your ongoing movement, shift the position of your legs and generate a command to grab a nearby handrail. Or, think about how we maintain our balance while standing on a moving train. Without any conscious effort, the brain constantly tweaks the activation of hundreds of muscle groups, shifting the position of the body to counteract the train’s movement.

We are all active agents, continuously engaged in attempting to fulfil our bodily needs and mental desires within complex and ever-changing surroundings while interacting with our environment. The motivational system in the brain monitors the current state of satisfaction of our goals, and activates behaviours to meet any needs that arise. The motivational system works largely by a reward–punishment mechanism. When a particular behaviour is followed by favourable consequences, the reward mechanism in the brain is activated, which induces structural changes inside the brain that cause the same behaviour to be repeated later, whenever a similar situation arises. Conversely, when a behaviour is followed by unfavourable consequences, the brain’s punishment mechanism is activated, inducing structural changes that cause the behaviour to be suppressed when similar situations arise in the future.

Generally, all this works pretty well, but this processing is extremely fast and not very logical, there is simply no time to hit pause and reflect – in fact, reactions take place even before we become aware of thinking them; if the brain detects something that previously posed a threat, it will resort to anxiety to get away from that situation, even if the current situation is no longer a threatening condition.

For a long time, it was believed that once your “child brain” was fully developed, the only thing you could anticipate for the future was a gradual decline. Now we know that our brain develops and adapts throughout our whole lives. This phenomenon, called neuroplasticity also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganisation. These changes range from individual neurons making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping. Examples of neuroplasticity include circuit and network changes that result from learning a new ability, environmental influences, practice, and psychological stress. In other words, this means that grey matter can thicken or shrink, connections between neurons can be improved, new ones can be created, and old ones degraded or even terminated. Our everyday behaviours literally change our brains, in fact, functionally related neurones connect to each other to form neural networks (also known as neural nets or assemblies). The connections between neurons are not static, though, they change over time. The more signals sent between two neurons, the stronger the connection grows (technically, the amplitude of the postsynaptic neuron’s response increases), and so, with each new experience and each remembered event or fact, the brain slightly re-wires its physical structure.

The human brain changes in three ways to support learning of new things:

1. CHEMICAL — Transfer of chemical signals between neurones, which is linked to short-term improvement (e.g. of a memory or a motor skill).

2. STRUCTURAL — Changes in connections between neurones, which are linked to long-term improvement. It means that the brain regions that are important for specific behaviours may change their structure or enlarge. These changes need more time to take place, which underlines the importance of a dedicated practice.

3. FUNCTIONAL — Increased excitability of a brain region in relation to a certain behaviour. In essence, the more you use a particular brain region, the easier it is to trigger its use again.

Despite the best efforts and findings of modern neuroscience, the true functioning of our brain/mind remains one of the greatest and most fascinating mysteries, we have learnt though a lot about how our brain helps us stay alive, communicate, and perceive ourselves and the world around us.

Ultimately, thanks to the amazing discoveries scientists and researchers have managed to uncover up until now, here above briefly introduced, we now know that the same mechanisms which allow our brain to learn new languages, new sports or new jobs can also help us learn how to create new habits and destroy old ones, acquire new skills and eliminate negative aspects in our lives, cure physical, mental and emotional issues, improve our strengths and cancel our weaknesses, we ca learn how to be happy.

This is where RTT^® – Rapid Transformational Therapy comes in! It is the therapeutic tool which allows us to produce the changes we want within ourselves and in our lives, the means that allows us to act on those same processes of which we are not aware and on which otherwise we would not have control but which however determine our lives, above all, on the results that these processes entail.

Rapid Transformational Therapy^® is a pioneering hybrid approach that embraces many of the positive aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, known to produce a transformative effect on clients: the use of trance, regression and hypnotic conditioning, as well as principles of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBD). However, RTT^® is a therapeutic methodology that goes far beyond, thanks to a unique layering of various technique and beliefs that make it essentially a complete and stand-alone clinical tool.

RTT^® is the result of the work, study and research carried out by the renowned award-winning therapist Marisa Peer over more than thirty years; it is the outcome of an invaluable compendium of information and intuitions derived from the work with countless clients and patients during countless sessions; It is hence an extremely powerful therapeutic approach built not just on theory but on practice and experience.

RTT^® is an extremely dynamic, fast and effective therapy which delivers extraordinary and permanent change. It is designed to uncover the root cause of your issues, free you from physical, emotional and psychological pain caused by self-defeating beliefs, values, habits and emotions by rapidly rewiring the neural pathways of the brain and imprinting new positive and powerful life-affirming messages into your subconscious to begin the healing process and produce permanent and transformative results.

To perfectly understand how RTT^® works, here is a simple example: if you are used to driving a car, you will most likely have had the experience of having reached your destination, for example work or home, without having any specific memory of the route you have travelled. That was your subconscious mind taking over the control of your driving while you were busy thinking of something else! Accordingly, our subconscious mind is also responsible for all those beliefs and behaviours, both positive and negative, that determine and influence our life. The way to alter the mental patterns that affect us, in the most powerful and effective way is therefore by accessing the subconscious mind and reprogramming it with new patterns that will lead to the outcomes we desire.

In other words, it is a process of re-wiring your own thinking patterns and establishing a new and positive aftermath! We are all taught from a young age that the mind is too complex, too convoluted to navigate. But that simply isn’t true. Rapid Transformational Therapy^® helps us discover that our mind is simple, open, and adjustable and that the quality of our life is determined by how well we control our own thoughts.

RTT^® is for anyone who desires to feel better, physically, mentally and emotionally.  Rapid Transformational Therapy^® is a complete solution based approach and can therefore be used in many different ways. RTT^® has achieved phenomenal success helping people overcome all kinds of challenges, including physical health issues, infertility, depression, anxiety, weight management, fears and phobias, motivation, confidence, money blocks and more. Rapid Transformational Therapy^® is for all those of you who want to change. It is for those of you who want to improve a specific area of their life or business. It is for those of you who want a life of freedom, joy and fulfilment.
