Frequently Asked Questions

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is a hybrid therapy that embraces many of the positive aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy that are known to produce a transformative effect on clients: the use of trance, regression and hypnotic conditioning. However, RTT goes beyond, diagnosing what works with clients to build a new therapeutic approach. Unlike many hypnotherapists RTT does not rely solely on positive reinforcement. Too often this is the sole focus for hypnotherapists.

While using correct, up-to-date, and relevant language when talking to yourself is certainly a part of any transformation, it serves as more of a reinforcement of breakthroughs, rather than the catalyst of them. RTT therapists are able to reach breakthroughs via hypnosis that would not be possible if they were simply trying to reach their subconscious mind via altered language and self-talk. Your RTT therapist is equipped with an array of techniques and tools that are crucial, not just in teaching you how to communicate with your subconscious mind, but also directly accessing and fixing whatever blockages may be there. Central to that is the ability to transform many clients rapidly.

“My ability to do that doesn’t come from a single methodology; it comes from the unique layering of techniques and beliefs that I created and now teach.” Marisa Peer

Millions of people worldwide now realize the benefits of accessing therapy. When it comes to choosing what type of therapy might work for you, there are a lot of different methodologies out there to explore. Understanding ‘what’s what’ can be confusing and clients can be easily misled by grandiose claims, so choosing the right therapist is a very important and personal decision. A therapist displaying an RTT logo on their website will have received personal training from Marisa Peer as she is the only person that teaches her innovative approach and is endorsed by the General Hypnotherapy Register, the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, the National and International Council of Psychotherapists, the American Board of Hypnotherapy, the International Association of Complementary Therapists, the International Institute of Complementary Therapies and many other International bodies.

Marisa identified that regardless of their issue, in sessions clients benefitted from her applying a particular set of techniques in a particular way that almost always brings about phenomenal changes for the clients. These insights provided the foundations for Rapid Transformational Therapy to emerge as a distinctive therapeutic approach.

In diagnosing what works with real clients in real sessions, Marisa has developed a unique therapy and a range of different techniques and tools that your therapist may draw on dependent on a client’s presenting challenges. Your therapist has been trained to use these tools in a skillful and exploratory way following extensive training, ongoing support and supervision.

How long does it take? 
Each Rapid Transformational Therapy session lasts between 1½ to 2 hours. For that reason, we ask you block of a full 2 hours in your calendar to make sure you’re not rushed.

The experience feels different for different people. Some people feel a light, floating sensation, some do not. Some people feel a heavy, relaxed feeling, while some are more in a sleepy state. Most people feel relaxed and completely at ease. What’s most important is to know that how you feel isn’t an indicator of how effective it is. Regardless of what it feels like - it’s working. I promise.

Right now, as you are reading, you are most likely in Beta brain waves – very alert. You’ve probably had many experiences of sitting in a meeting or classroom and discovering that your mind has wandered. You’ve probably enjoyed daydreaming, too. Those are moments that your brain slips into Alpha brain waves. That is light hypnosis. If you’ve ever gotten lost in a good book or watching a movie or even a fire in a fireplace, and completely lost track of time, then you were in Theta brain waves. This is that feeling of being almost asleep, but not quite. That is deep hypnosis. And of course, you’ve been asleep, which is Delta brain waves.

 We can get a lot of work done in either Alpha or Theta brain waves. Some hypnosis techniques work best with lighter, mid-level or deep hypnosis. We will work with whatever level we achieve. And the most important thing to know is that you cannot do this wrong.


No! That’s an old wives’ tale. You have complete control the whole time. You can hear what I am saying, talk, move your body, get comfortable, etc.

Don’t worry about how deep you go. I want you to forget all about that. It's really not important. The depth of trance is not linked to results at all. In fact – we will go through several levels of a trance state of relaxation during the process.

So don’t get stuck on “Am I deep enough?” Just tell yourself the truth - “This
is working” and it will absolutely work. Just know that it is effective.

What makes RTT amazing is that even if you think you know the reason, you see it in a COMPLETELY new way. That’s what allows you to change the meaning and ultimately, change your beliefs. And for many clients they go back to scenes that are totally different than what they expected. Just relax and trust that your subconscious mind will show you exactly what you need to see.

If you go back to scenes from your life that are related to things like sexual or physical abuse, or another trauma, it’s important to remember that you are not reliving that scene, you are simply reviewing it, like a movie on a screen and that you are completely safe. I will support you and create a safe space for you to express your emotions and heal - you’ll be perfectly alright.

There are 3 types of change from Rapid Transformational Therapy - every person is different:


• Immediate: You feel a massive shift right away - immediate
changes in your physiology, thoughts and behaviors right in the
session.

• Incremental: You see consistent shifts every day, or over time.

• Retroactive: You don’t see the shifts right away and then one day
you suddenly look back and see all of the things that are different in
your life.

RTT is designed to give you a powerful breakthrough and create big changes in your life. Some clients may need more than one RTT 28-day session package on a particular issue, depending on how deep it is it can take up to 3. Some choose to go on to do subsequent sessions to tackle other issues and obstacles in their lives.

Most want to keep doing sessions to work on other areas of their life and receive coaching to integrate the new beliefs and build new habits and behaviors. For these reasons, I offer a 3-month Rapid Transformational Experience Program for those who want continued support on their change journey.

Successful people know that the path to greatness is never smooth. It would be easier if they have someone to support them along the way. As Bill Gates said, “Everyone needs a coach”. Google’s Eric Schmidt said that the best advice he ever received was: “Get a coach.”

Professional coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional life. Through the process of transformational coaching, the coach empowers the client to deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality of life overall.

A partnership with a coach can help you achieve your goals, find your passions, gain greater self-awareness, reach inner fulfillment, or simply live with purpose. According to the International Coach Federation, coaching is when the coach partners with individuals in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to find their own solutions. This maximizes and unlocks their potential in all aspects of their professional and personal lives.

Life Coaching helps you to find clarity about the personal goals you’d like to achieve and can also support you through challenging times in your life. It is much more focused on taking concrete actions to attain a specific outcome.

Transformational Coaching also works within these parameters, but utilizes many other tools such as questions for empowerment, hypnotherapy, visualization, meditation and accessing one’s higher self to go deeper, so that you can create a more fulfilling life on all levels – spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially.  Transformational Coaching is also a powerful way for you to explore any limiting beliefs or patterns in your life which are potentially blocking you from creating a phenomenal life. It combines proven coaching techniques with other potent tools for personal empowerment, so that you can shape and transform your life from the inside out. Your Transformational Coach will support you throughout your journey to self-discovery.
