Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is a hybrid approach created by British therapist Marisa Peer. It combines hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and psychotherapy techniques.
The aim is to create fast and lasting change by uncovering the root cause of emotional and behavioural patterns, often in just one to three sessions. Instead of focusing only on surface symptoms, RTT explores where the pattern began and why it is still running your life today.
How Does RTT Work?
RTT uses hypnosis to guide you into a deeply relaxed and focused state, similar to meditation or a daydream. In this state the subconscious mind is more open, making it easier to access long-held beliefs, childhood memories and emotional imprints.
By revisiting these moments, you can uncover where struggles such as anxiety, low self-worth or procrastination first took hold. The therapist then helps you reframe those old beliefs and update the meaning you gave the experience.
The work continues after the session. You receive a personalised audio recording to listen to for 21 days. Repetition strengthens new beliefs and helps embed them in your neural pathways.
Science Note
Neuroscience shows it takes roughly three weeks of consistent practice to reinforce new neural connections. This is why the 21-day recording is central to RTT.
What Can RTT Help With?
RTT has been used to support:
- Anxiety and stress
- Low confidence or self-esteem
- Public speaking fears
- Phobias
- Sleep problems
- Weight or eating struggles
- Money and abundance blocks
- Relationship difficulties
- Addictive behaviours
- Fertility and hormonal imbalances
- Chronic pain or physical symptoms linked to emotional trauma
Many people who felt stuck in traditional therapy say RTT helped them reach the root more quickly.
Science Note
Hypnosis-based therapies have been shown in meta-analyses (American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 2019) to reduce anxiety, manage pain and improve outcomes when combined with cognitive-behavioural methods. RTT builds on this by integrating several approaches at once.
Is It Safe?
RTT is not stage hypnosis. You remain fully aware, in control and able to speak throughout the session. You will not be asked to do anything embarrassing or reveal secrets.
Think of it as a guided inner journey where you connect the dots between past and present, and update the story you have been living.
When practised by a trained RTT professional, it is considered safe.
What to Expect in a Session
A typical RTT session lasts between 90 and 120 minutes and often includes:
- Exploration – clarifying what you want to change
- Hypnosis and regression – accessing root memories or beliefs
- Reframing – changing the meaning you gave those past events
- Transformation recording – a personalised audio to reinforce new beliefs
The recording is a key part of the process. Daily listening helps stabilise new neural patterns so the change lasts.
Who Is It For?
RTT may be right for you if you:
- Are open to hypnosis and inner work
- Want lasting change without years of therapy
- Struggle with repeating patterns despite self-awareness
- Feel ready to explore root causes instead of managing symptoms
It may not be suitable for people with certain conditions such as schizophrenia or epilepsy unless under medical supervision.
Final Thought
RTT is not about erasing your past. It is about understanding it and updating the beliefs you formed along the way.
The result is freedom, emotional clarity and the ability to live in a way that reflects who you truly are, not who you were told to be.
You do not need to be fixed. You only need to remember yourself, the version of you that existed before the world told you otherwise. RTT can help you return to that truth.
