The History and Origins of RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) Hypnotherapy
If you’ve heard of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), you may be wondering: Where did it come from, and how is it different from traditional hypnotherapy?
Understanding the history of RTT gives you confidence in why it works so powerfully. It’s not a passing trend—it’s the evolution of proven therapeutic methods, brought together in a way that helps people experience deep transformation more quickly than ever before.
The Roots of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy itself has a long, respected history. For centuries, hypnosis has been used to reduce pain, heal emotional wounds, and help people change behaviors.
Modern hypnotherapy grew in the 20th century, when researchers confirmed that hypnosis is a natural state of focused awareness that allows us to access the subconscious mind. Since then, hypnotherapy has been used around the world to help with anxiety, habits, trauma, and more.
The Creation of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
RTT was developed by Marisa Peer, an internationally known therapist with over three decades of experience. While working with clients, she noticed that traditional talk therapy and even standard hypnotherapy sometimes left people waiting weeks or months for results.
Marisa wanted to create a method that went deeper and worked faster. By combining the best elements of:
Hypnotherapy (to access the subconscious)
Psychotherapy (to explore and understand root causes)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (to shift thought patterns)
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) (to reframe the mind)
…she developed Rapid Transformational Therapy. RTT is designed to deliver profound breakthroughs in as little as one to three sessions.
How RTT Differs from Traditional Hypnotherapy
Traditional hypnotherapy is powerful, but it often focuses mainly on giving suggestions to the subconscious mind. RTT goes further by:
Using regression to uncover the root cause of an issue.
Engaging in therapeutic dialogue to help clients gain deep insights.
Reprogramming the subconscious with new, empowering beliefs.
Providing a personalized hypnosis recording to reinforce change long after the session.
This layered approach makes RTT unique—and often much faster—than other therapies.
Why RTT Is So Effective
Clients love RTT because it’s not about years of weekly sessions—it’s about creating meaningful, lasting transformation quickly. By addressing the root cause of an issue and giving the mind a new framework, change feels natural and sustainable.
Whether it’s overcoming anxiety, breaking free from habits, building confidence, or healing from past experiences, RTT has helped thousands of people around the world make profound changes.
Final Thoughts
The history of RTT hypnotherapy shows that it’s more than just a technique—it’s the evolution of decades of proven methods, carefully combined into a modern, results-driven approach.
If you’ve been considering hypnotherapy and want a method designed for deep, lasting change, RTT could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
