The Approach

This work focuses on patterns formed through long-term stress, emotional harm, and adaptation — particularly in the context of narcissistic or high-control relationships.

It’s designed for people who understand what happened, yet still notice their reactions, choices, or inner responses feel rooted in survival rather than agency or self-trust.

Rather than revisiting the past in circles, the emphasis here is on understanding how those experiences shaped internal patterns — and how those patterns can be updated in a grounded, structured way.

How This Approach Is Informed

My work is informed by Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), developed by Marisa Peer, which works directly with subconscious beliefs and long-standing internal narratives.

Here, RTT is used as a structured tool — not a performance or quick fix — to identify and shift deeply held beliefs that continue shaping present-day responses. The goal is not to relive experiences, but to understand how meaning was formed and how it can be updated safely and deliberately.

This work integrates subconscious exploration with present-focused guidance, allowing insight to translate into lived change rather than remaining conceptual.

Context: Emotional Harm and Narcissistic Dynamics

Many people arrive at this work after experiencing emotionally harmful or high-control relationships, including narcissistic abuse dynamics.

The focus isn’t on diagnosing others. It’s on understanding how prolonged manipulation, gaslighting, emotional unpredictability, or chronic self-silencing shape the nervous system, self-trust, and identity over time.

Common patterns that emerge include hypervigilance, self-doubt, over-functioning, emotional shutdown, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling “stuck” despite insight.

These patterns are understood as adaptations — not flaws — and are approached with respect.

Trauma-Informed Coaching Orientation

This work is trauma-informed in both pacing and structure. Sessions are intentional and contained, with careful attention to nervous system regulation and internal safety.

Rather than open-ended emotional processing, the emphasis is on clarity, integration, and forward movement. Insight matters — but the goal is embodied change that shows up in daily life, relationships, and decisions.

What This Work Is

-This work is:

-Structured and intentional

-Focused on internal patterns rather than external blame

-Designed for people ready to engage actively in change

-This work is not:

-Crisis care or emergency mental health support

-Endless emotional processing without direction

-A quick fix or passive healing experience

-Appropriate for everyone—and that discernment matters

If you’re unsure whether this approach is the right fit, the next step is simply a conversation to determine alignment.

"I wasn’t sure what kind of support I needed at first. Having a clear, structured conversation helped me feel grounded and confident about the next step."

The focus is on understanding and shifting internal patterns that affect present-day life, rather than ongoing analysis of the past.text goes here

  • Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is a modality developed by Marisa Peer that works with subconscious beliefs formed through earlier experiences. In this work, RTT is used as a structured tool to identify and update beliefs that continue to shape behavior, emotional responses, and self-perception. It is not used as a script or performance, but as part of a contained, intentional process.

  • Many people seek this work after experiencing emotionally harmful or high-control relationships, including those involving narcissistic abuse dynamics. The emphasis is not on diagnosing or labeling others, but on addressing the internal patterns shaped by prolonged manipulation, gaslighting, emotional instability, or chronic self-silencing.

  • This approach is structured, time-bound, and present-focused. Rather than open-ended emotional processing, sessions are designed to support clarity, nervous system regulation, and integration so insight translates into lived change. The goal is not endless exploration, but meaningful forward movement.

  • No, but its a lot faster than talk therapy. While the work is structured and efficient, meaningful change still requires participation, reflection, and integration. This is not a passive experience or an instant solution, and it is not appropriate for those seeking shortcuts without engagement.

  • This work is best suited for people who:

    • Have insight into their experiences and patterns

    • Are ready to take an active role in their healing

    • Are willing to invest time, emotional energy, and financial resources into change

    • Want structure, clarity, and forward movement rather than indefinite processing

    Readiness matters as much as history.

  • This work is not appropriate for:

    • Crisis care or emergency mental health support

    • Individuals with active, untreated bipolar disorder

    • Individuals with personality disorders, particularly Cluster B presentations

    • Those seeking external validation without personal responsibility

    • Those unwilling or unable to commit time, effort, or financial investment to the process

    Discernment protects everyone involved.

  • The length of work varies depending on the individual and the focus of the work. Some people experience meaningful shifts early, while others benefit from a longer, structured engagement. This is discussed openly during the initial conversation so expectations are clear from the start.

  • Many people report increased clarity or internal shifts relatively early in the process. Sustainable change, however, unfolds through integration over time. The goal is not rapid relief alone, but changes that hold.

  • Investment varies depending on the structure and scope of the work. Specific options and pricing are discussed during the initial conversation to ensure transparency and fit before moving forward.

  • The first step is a conversation to determine alignment and appropriateness. This ensures the work is a mutual fit before any commitment is made.

    Once we decide to work together, depending on the course of treatment, we typically meet weekly for either subconscious work or coaching sessions. Individual treatment plans range anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more.

  • No. Hypnosis is not mind control, and it does not override personal values, boundaries, or agency. You remain aware, oriented, and able to stop the process at any time. Nothing is suggested or done without your consent.

    The work relies on cooperation, not control.

  • No. Hypnosis does not compel behavior or speech. You cannot be made to act against your values, beliefs, or intentions. Stage hypnosis and entertainment portrayals are not representative of therapeutic or clinical hypnotic work.

  • Hypnosis is not a spiritual practice, belief system, or form of worship. It does not involve surrendering will, consciousness, or moral authority. Many people of diverse religious backgrounds engage in hypnotic work without conflict, but personal discernment always matters.

    If you have concerns, they can be discussed openly before any work begins.

  • Experiences vary, but most people describe hypnosis as a state of focused attention and deep relaxation. You may feel calm, inwardly focused, or mentally alert while physically relaxed. You are not asleep, unconscious, or “gone.” Often people are unaware they are under hypnosis and say that they felt completely normal. Everyone experiences it a little differently.

  • Most people can experience hypnosis. It is not about being suggestible, weak-minded, or easily controlled. In fact, people who are thoughtful, reflective, and capable of focus often respond very well.

    This work does not require you to “try” or perform. It works with your natural capacity for attention and imagination.

    In fact, if you’ve ever been engrossed in a book or movie, driven somewhere and not recall which way you went, these are forms of hypnosis. It’s a natural state of the brain.

  • There is no required depth for effective work. Change does not depend on being unconscious, unaware, or dramatically altered. Insight and shifts can occur even when you feel fully present.

    Depth is not measured by sensation. It’s measured by outcome and integration.

  • Most people remember the experience clearly. Some details may feel less prominent afterward, similar to recalling a vivid daydream or deeply focused conversation. Memory loss is not the goal and is not required for change.

  • When practiced responsibly and with appropriate screening, hypnosis is considered a safe method for working with subconscious patterns. That said, this work is not appropriate for everyone, and discernment around readiness and mental health history is part of the intake process.

For those seeking clarity before moving forward, a conversation is the next step.
