IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE...

…you’ll learn about a therapy method that gets to the root of your problem and solves it within one to three sessions.

 “The main reason it works, I believe, is that it overcomes the high level of resistance that most people have to changing fundamental beliefs about themselves by getting to the deepest core of their belief very quickly,” says Marisa Peer. 

Marisa is a clinical psychologist and expert in human behavior who developed a new way to approach your mental health — Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®). RTT offers the same benefits of traditional therapy, but on a much quicker timeline.

“I didn't understand why therapy, which is also dealing with pain, had to be so long. I never got that ‘turn up with your pain every week,’” she says. “We'll keep reopening the wound. And one day, you might get better.”

She’s also an international best-selling author of multiple books, motivational speaker, personal development expert and leading celebrity therapist. She’s worked with people around the world and most of them have a story they tell themselves about not being “enough.” Her newest book puts the focus squarely on the personal narrative you’re clinging to:  “Tell Yourself A Better Lie: Use The Power Of Rapid Transformational Therapy To Edit Your Story And Rewrite Your Life.” 

​​“After 30 years of private practice, I created Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) because it was clear to me that so much of the pain and suffering we see in the world comes down to the fundamental stories we tell ourselves and how often those stories are untrue or outright lies,” she explains. RTT has roots in hypnosis.

Marisa helps people pinpoint the reasons behind why people want what they want, so they can actualize a meaningful life for themselves. She uses a solution-oriented technique that can make you mentally stronger, more confident and even more loving towards yourself. 

He who hesitates is lost,” she says. “While you're waiting to write your book or start your company, someone else is going to come along and write that book and start that company. So, time is the one thing we don't have access of. And so, I think they'll always be people who like that long method [of traditional talk therapy] and a lot of people who don't like it. And I think we can definitely accommodate both.”

It’s time to start telling yourself the truth about who you are. “Our greatest pain is caused by the lies we tell ourselves,” Marisa says. She offers candid advice on how to help you recognize the harmful story you tell yourself and how to change it to a better one.

lie.

And on its face, that probably triggers a good number of people.

In fact, as a good human being who honors everyone's cowardice, I probably should have

put a trigger warning on that ahead of time in case hearing about that made you feel unsafe

and that you needed to go get a hug somewhere.

with trauma, which happens to all of us when our kids, traumas, can be as little as I
