Rapid Resolution Therapy®

What is Rapid Resolution Therapy?

Most therapies are problem-focused and time-intensive. In contrast, Rapid Resolution Therapy® (RRT) is outcome-focused and provides fast relief and results.

Rapid Resolution Therapy is an integrative and holistic approach designed to clear painful emotional responses and is particularly effective in clearing anxiety and the negative effects of grief or past trauma. Unlike other treatment approaches that require the client to experience painful emotions while reliving their experiences, Rapid Resolution Therapy clears the effects of trauma gently and painlessly. Dr. Jon Connelly developed RRT over his 30 years of treating clients with trauma.

Why is RRT more Effective than Traditional Therapy?

Traumatic memories are stored differently in the brain. If you just “talk about the event,” you can activate the nervous system as if you are reliving the painful experience all over again, which can be re-traumatizing. RRT involves using guided imagery, metaphor, and calming techniques that empower you to talk about the event without emotionally reliving it. Clients who’ve used RRT typically report feeling peaceful or uplifted after their sessions, with significant decreases or complete elimination of anxiety attacks, nightmares, flashbacks, and shame related to a traumatic event.

What is meant by “Rapid Resolution”?

RRT dramatically reduces treatment time because the work is done at a level involving both the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind. Rather than spending months or years in many hours of weekly talk-therapy sessions, people often find relief within their first RRT session and usually do not require more than 1-3 sessions to clear the imprint of a negative memory.
