The Anatomy of Life-Changing Conversations: Jon Connelly on PYP 571

The Plant Yourself Podcast

Jon Connelly developed Rapid Resolution Therapy after trying to help his clients with just about every other approach he had been taught.
Cognitive understanding brought insight, sometimes, but not relief from suffering.
Reliving the trauma again and again, as a form of clumsy exposure therapy, just made people feel worse without leading to improvement in mood or function.
And why did therapy have to take years, if not decades, to show results?
Questioning the assumptions behind clinical best practices led Connelly to start experimenting with the exact opposite of what he had been taught.
Why not try to clear trauma in a single conversation?
Why not make the therapeutic meeting fun and light rather than so agonizing that many vets with PTSD said that they'd rather face war than therapy?
Listeners to this podcast will know of my passionate interest in healing modalities that take advantage of the brain's natural mode for updating and transforming traumatic memories: Memory Reconsolidation (MR).
Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) fits the bill for this process, and adds some twists - including multi-level communication and a rigorous philosophical stance - that just might allow coaches to take advantage of MR without having to delve deeply into their client's worst, most vulnerable moments.
Take a listen and see what you think. I'm so impressed, I'm signing up for RRT's Clinical Hypnosis and Rapid Resolution Therapy Course to help me become a better, more effective coach.
