Meet Brittany
Certified Hypnotherapist
I actually started my RTT® journey as a client, so I can highly empathize and relate to how you may be feeling right now. I felt trapped, hopeless, in despair, and that I was beyond help. These feelings paralyzed me daily. Every morning within seconds of opening my eyes, the torture began. My heart would start to race. My thoughts would go a mile a minute. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, and before I had even gotten out of bed, I had full blown anxiety. As the day progressed, I would be attacked with guilt, shame, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and severe self-loathing. I would never be good enough. It was exhausting being locked in the jail cell that was my mind.
To make matters worse, I knew what was wrong with me. I had CPTSD from a history of narcissistic abuse. I would go to traditional talk therapists and tell them all of this, but I could tell within a few sessions that they couldn’t help me. It was always suggestions to practice telling myself positive affirmations, or to do guided meditations. I remember trying the positive affirmations and being so frustrated.
I hated myself, and my mind had no interest in listening to these lies I was trying to convince it to believe. The guided meditations? Yeah, that doesn’t really provide relief to someone who’s mind is going a mile a minute. While these professionals meant well, they couldn’t help me because they weren’t getting to the root of things. These were surface suggestions. I knew I needed something deeper. I just didn’t know what that looked like.

Fast forward to January 2021. I stumbled across an ad on pinterest of all places, talking about a therapy modality that could heal you from the effects of narcissistic abuse. I was instantly curious and drawn in. I had gotten to the point where I felt like I couldn’t live like this anymore. I was dying inside, putting on a happy face for my three year old daughter, and having nothing left to offer my husband by the time he came home from work. I was desperate. This page spoke about everything I was struggling with. I had never heard of RTT®, and I knew nothing about hypnosis beyond what you see in movies. This therapy promised results in 1-3 sessions. It sounded amazing. It sounded too good to be true. I saw the price tag and let the financial aspect deter me.
April came around and I had hit a new low. I was finally ready. I was willing to pay if I could just get some relief! I felt like this was my last stop on the road. If this didn’t work, I didn’t know what I was going to do. On April 15, 2021 I had my first session. It was the most cathartic, healing, amazing experience I had ever had in a therapy session. I felt literal weight being lifted off of me during the session, and an instant shift in my mental state. I was left feeling an almost euphoria and calm I was unfamiliar with. I woke up the next morning, and NOTHING. For the first time since I could remember, I simply woke up. No racing heart. No rapid thoughts. No tight chest. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it. How in the world was my anxiety just gone after a two-hour session? I was so afraid that my results wouldn’t last, that I listened to my personal recording the therapist sent me three times that first day! (PS- three times a day is NOT necessary!)
​
The results not only stayed with me, they have become permanent. April 14, 2021 was the LAST day I suffered from crippling anxiety, and I will forever be grateful for that session and RTT®.

Freedom At Last
In the spring of 2022, I felt called by the Lord to pursue a career in RTT® and applied to the Marisa Peer School. I had a long interview and was very nervous, because I wasn’t already in this field. This was new to me. My interviewer told me despite not having a therapy background, I had lived experience, which is powerful. I was a walking testimony for this therapy. My strong intuition and empathy would benefit me tremendously in the learning process. She accepted me into the program. I loved every minute of my training. I was completely transformed by this learning experience. Marisa Peer really is an innovator in this field.
After fulfilling all my schooling requirements, and countless hours of practice with other students, I graduated in April of 2023. Coincidentally, the same month I was delivered from anxiety two years prior. I love RTT®. I love orchestrating these sessions and watching my clients free themselves from their bondage. It is YOU who is doing the mental lifting, I am just the guide who gets to navigate you through this process. I couldn’t see my life any other way. This therapy freed me and dramatically changed my life. Allow RTT® to do the same for you!
