Frequently Asked Questions

​1.  HOW LONG IS AN RTT SESSION?

An initial RTT session takes between 90 minutes to 2 hours, so we ask that you block off 2 hours.  Subsequent follow up RTT sessions for the same issue are often shorter.

2.  How will I know I am in hypnosis?

The experience of hypnosis feels different for different people but most people feel very relaxed and at ease.  You are not asleep and you may still have conscious thoughts drifting in and out.  You are fully conscious throughout and in control the whole time. The important thing to know is that your results are not dependent on how "deep" you go, the RTT process is effective whether you are in a lighter or deeper state of relaxation.

3.  HOW DOES HYPNOSIS WORK?

 Hypnosis is a focused yet relaxed awareness, harnessing the subconscious mind – which is highly receptive to POSITIVE suggestion. To gain insight you’ll be conscious and alert throughout the session. Hypnosis works by creating a burst of "Alpha" brainwaves, the same as when you experience REM or are dreaming.  That's what allows you to access the subconscious mind.  It's not difficult to do and is actually something most people experience quite often when they are engrossed in a good book or movie, or when you are driving somewhere, arrive at your destination with no recollection of consciously driving there.  Kind of like you were on autopilot.

4.  CAN I GET STUCK IN HYPNOSIS?

​No!  That's a myth. You are completely aware and in control the whole time you are in hypnosis.  You can talk, move your body, get a tissue and get up to go to the bathroom if needed.  You may drift into sleep if you are really relaxed, but eventually you'll notice that you're not hearing my voice and open your eyes

5.  WHAT IF I DON'T GO DEEP ENOUGH?

Don't worry about how deep you go.  The depth of trance is not linked to the results at all.  Some clients think they are not very deep and yet they get positive results.  Just allow yourself to relax during the session and assure yourself that it is "working" and it will be effective.

6.  WHAT IS REGRESSION

Regression is a safe, simple and effective technique used to help someone remember and review events, feelings  and uncover core beliefs caused by past events  (often during childhood) that have an effect on their present issue. ​

7.  what if i go back to memories that are painful or scary?

It's important to remember that you are not reliving the scene, you are simply reviewing it, and that you are in fact safe.  You will be reminded of this during the session and I will support you and create a safe space for you to express your emotions and heal.  ​

8.  what if I already think i know the reasons behind my issue

What makes RTT amazing is that even if you think you know the reason, you typically see it in a completely different and new way during the session.  That's what allows you to change the meaning and ultimately change your beliefs.  For many clients, they go back to scenes or memories that are totally different than what they may have expected.  just relax and trust that your subconscious mind will show you exactly what you need to see.

9.  when will i start to see changes?

Everyone responds a little differently, but there are typically 3 types of change from RTT:
Immediate - you feel a shift right away and immediate changes in your physiology, thoughts and behaviours during or right after the session
Incremental - you see consistent shifts every day or over time.
Retroactive - You don't notice the shifts right away and then some time later you look back and see the things that are now different in your life

10.  how many sessions will i need?

RTT is designed to give you a powerful breakthrough and create positive change in your life.  Depending on the issue, and the responsiveness of the client and commitment to the after session work (such as listening to the custom audio recording)  many issues can be resolved in 1-3 sessions.
