What is RTT? | Rapid Transformational Therapy®
What is RTT?
Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT) is a powerful, targeted form of hypnotherapy that combines elements of CBT, psychotherapy, NLP and hypnosis to help change the beliefs, patterns and associations at the root of an issue.
It is called Rapid because it is designed to work in a focused, purposeful way, helping identify the source of a pattern quickly rather than circling it for months. It is called Transformational because the aim is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to create meaningful shifts at a subconscious level, where deeper and more lasting change can begin.
In simple terms, RTT helps you understand why you feel, think or react the way you do and then helps you change that pattern.
How RTT works
RTT brings together several therapeutic approaches in one structured process.
From psychotherapy, it draws on the understanding that present-day responses are often shaped by earlier experiences and beliefs. From CBT, it recognises the close relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. From NLP, it uses the principle that changing the meaning attached to an experience can begin to change the way you respond to it. And from hypnotherapy, it uses a calm, focused state to help access those deeper patterns more directly.
In our session, we explore the issue you want help with and identify the beliefs or conclusions your mind may have formed around it. Often these patterns were learned earlier in life and once made sense, even if they no longer serve you now.
The aim is not simply to help you cope better with an old pattern. The aim is to help change the pattern itself.
Why RTT can be so effective
People often try to change by focusing on behaviour. They try to be calmer, more confident, less reactive, less avoidant or less self-critical. Sometimes that helps for a while. But if the underlying belief remains the same, the old response often returns.
If part of you still believes ‘I’m not safe’, ‘I’ll get this wrong’, ‘I’ll be judged’ or ‘I have to stay on guard’, then the mind and body will continue to respond accordingly.
Every thought you think creates a physical reaction and an emotional response. Repeated thoughts create repeated patterns. Over time, those patterns can begin to feel automatic.
RTT works by interrupting that cycle. By identifying the root belief, reframing it, and reinforcing a new message through repetition, RTT can help the mind and body stop rehearsing the same old response. That is why RTT can feel different from approaches that stay only at the level of conscious insight. It is not just about understanding the pattern. It is about helping to reprogramme it.
What does hypnosis in RTT feel like?
People sometimes worry that hypnosis means losing control. It does not. Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of attention. Most clients describe it as feeling deeply relaxed but mentally present. You remain aware throughout and able to speak at any time. In fact, it is important that you do.
A key part of RTT is the personalised hypnosis recording you receive after the session. Listening to this daily helps reinforce the new beliefs and responses we have worked on, so the change has a better chance to settle and strengthen.
RTT at Zadeh Therapy
At Zadeh Therapy, I do not see you as broken or in need of fixing. More often, you are running an old pattern or programme that once made sense, but no longer serves you. My role is to help you understand what your mind has learned, why that pattern has persisted, and - working together - how it can begin to change.
