Proceed with comfort and ease

Most therapists see a lot of clients that are dealing with anxiety.  Anxiety may be something that is genetic for them, or a result of something traumatic; or likely both.  I recall before my Rapid Resolution Therapy Training I didn't really know what to do with a client who had anxiety.  Especially a client with severe anxiety and panic attacks.  After my training I was ready and willing to assist clients with their anxiety.  After some practice with RRT I found I was actually effective at treating and clearing anxiety and panic attacks.  (Yes you read that right CLEARING panic attacks!)
What quickly became obvious to me was how fearful many of my therapist friends were about treating clients with anxiety and panic attacks.  At the time they had not trained in RRT and would come to me upset and concerned about working with clients with such issues.  I was actually confused on how to support and help my friends because here I was Certified in RRT but they hadn't even considered doing the training yet.  They also refused to refer their clients to me because I no longer took health insurance and my sessions were always scheduled for 1-3 hours.  They insisted that clients would not be willing or able to afford such sessions, nor were they likely to be willing or able to stay in a session that may last 3 hours.
Well boy have their minds changed.  Most of my therapist friends have to some extent done some RRT training.  Those that are in private practice are now Certified Practitioners and those that are not currently but are looking to in the future have noted they will likely continue their training in RRT.  So if you are a therapist finding that many of your clients have anxiety in one way shape or form consider Rapid Resolution Therapy Training.

The IRRT Blog

It's been a week of realizations.  It dawned on me that I haven't introduced you to the Institute for Rapid Resolution Therapy's  blog.  Yes they have a blog too.  Or you could say we have 2 blogs. 
Anyways...what I like about the IRRT's blog is the fact they utilize many guest bloggers for their blog.  They also feature the many books written by other Certified Practitioners, the accomplishments of our Certified Practitioners, as well as the many trainings we support and produce. 
So with no further ado I am directing you to the Institute for Rapid Resolution Therapy's blog.

Cravings

I realized just today that I have not talked about the effectiveness of Rapid Resolution Therapy Training and RRT on treating addictions and cravings.  Yes you read that correctly addictions and cravings.  Anytime I have a chance to see, hear, or watch Dr. Jon Connelly treat addictions and cravings I am in awe.  He has an amazing talent for this particular issue and has a very interesting view point about addictions. 
In fact recently I applied a small portion of his work for addiction to drugs/alcohol to a client that we could say was addicted to her severely abusive, soon to be ex-husband.  Within minutes she no longer wanted anything to do with him.  And I ran into her a few days later and she was happily moving forward with her divorce.  I'll be honest, when I use this part of RRT I am always amazed and grateful that I have this in my back pocket.
So if you're a therapist who ever happens to work with clients who have addictions (drugs/alcohol/food/people) this part of the Rapid Resolution Therapy Training will be a big help to you and your clients!!

Maybe there's another way...

Recently one of our Certified Practitioners posted an article from a Swedish Psychologist, Scott D. Miller, Ph.D...it reviews the Swedish research into the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  The country of Sweden spent a very large amount of money training therapists in CBT and then having therapists treat clients with and with out disabilities with CBT.  The outcome?  CBT wasn't that helpful.  In fact in one section of the article he noted that some clients whom started treatment without a disability developed one: "The widespread adoption of the method has had no effect whatsoever on the outcome of people disabled by depression and anxiety.  Moreover, a significant number of people who were not disabled at the time they were treated with CBT became disabled, costing the government an additional one billion Swedish crowns.  Finally, nearly a quarter of those who started treatment, dropped out, costing an additional 340 million!" Here's the link to the actual article

It's at least worth a look!  Maybe the mental health field is finally going to take a look at it's self and realize that other forms of therapy, such as Rapid Resolution Therapy are beneficial and effective!!

Heal the Healer

I've said it before, and now it's become an entire weekend training...Heal the Healer.  This retreat is being lead by three Master Certified RRT Practitioners... Molly Sandford  CourtneyArmstrong Melinda Paige.  This retreat is designed to help Certified RRT Practitioners to better market their RRT practice, develop skills utilizing RRT for children, improve their clinical hypnosis skills, and find some healing themselves. 
Space is still available as I'm writing this, but room is limited.  Oh we will also have a massage therapist on site for massages and will be ending the retreat with a lovely hike to an amazing waterfall!!
Come join us!

Completed it, defeated it

I recently returned from the Level 1 training in Clinical Hypnosis with Rapid Trauma Resolution.  Upon my return I had a conversation with Holly Craig, LPC who had also attended the training.  At some point we began to discuss how therapists can be traumatized just by hearing the trauma that their clients have survived.  In fact I have heard from numerous clients how previous therapists had glazed over their trauma, sat there as if in shock, or just offered them pamphlets about such trauma.  To which Holly had this to say: "The thing that they survived isn't bigger than what you can do with it.  It's not even happening to them any more."And that's so true. 
For one the client sitting in front of you has survived that traumatic event.  Not only survived it but made it into your office.  It is in no way helpful to become upset ourselves, as therapists, about what happened to them.  Clients have told me that therapists getting upset over what they have survived isn't helpful.  They find it upsetting and they loose trust in the professional whom they came to for help. 
In Rapid Resolution Therapy we learn to stay present with the client, create a deep connection, and understanding, so that we can effectively, painlessly, and quickly resolve the negative effects of the trauma that the client has been through.  In doing so the RRT session will have a much bigger, and positive impact upon your client than the very thing they survived. 
So when they leave they will have completed it and defeated it!
