Not at all. An open and curious mind is the only prerequisite. Many clients view the memories and stories that arise as powerful metaphors from their subconscious mind. Whether you see them as literal past lives or as symbolic narratives, the process provides profound insights into your current life’s patterns, fears, and relationships, which is where the true healing occurs.

That’s a very understandable feeling. The name sounds intense, but the process itself is one of profound compassion and self-reclamation. Shadow Work is not about confronting a “dark side,” but about courageously bringing light and love to the parts of yourself you’ve hidden away—parts that often hold your greatest strengths and untapped potential. My role is to create an unconditionally safe and non-judgmental space for you to gently integrate these aspects and become more whole.

Yes, hypnosis is completely safe, and you are in control the entire time. It is a natural state of deep relaxation, similar to daydreaming or the moments just before you fall asleep. Your mind is actually in a state of heightened focus and awareness. You cannot be made to do or say anything that goes against your will, and you can bring yourself out of the state at any time. It is a collaborative process where you are always an active participant.

The primary differences are speed and depth. While traditional therapy often focuses on managing symptoms over many months or years, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®) is designed to get to the root cause of an issue quickly and permanently. By working directly with the subconscious mind, RTT® can facilitate profound breakthroughs and lasting change in as little as one to three sessions for a specific issue.
