RTT therapy has changed my life drastically! I didn’t realize that I had been living in fight or flight mode since I was a child, but due to childhood trauma, I definitely had been. My immediate reaction was always anger. If you get angry, it will protect you. That’s what I had learned and practiced for most of my life. I was miserable! I let outside extended family issues rule my life. I was not the happiest mom, wife, friend or employee that I could be. I went through 5 sessions of RTT therapy with Elizabeth Lambert, listened to my recording daily for 21 days and it changed my life!
Life after RTT therapy is amazing! Instead of reacting with anger in situations, I absorb the situation, evaluate it and then react. It results in a positive reaction. Any situation from minor to major is not catastrophic any more. I recognize when things aren’t healthy or worth engaging in like it is second nature. I am able to easily pull myself back to center and focus on the things that are important.
I woke up last week in the middle of the night grinding my teeth and instantly thought, I need to listen to my recording again. I listened to it that morning and the grinding stopped. It is the most valuable tool I have at my fingertips. I can take 15 minutes, listen to my recording and feel completely reset. Things that would trigger me to spiral, worry, obsess over, and analyze constantly no longer rule my life. I process them quickly as what they are, things that I will not let effect my life in a negative way, and move on.
My focus is sharper than ever. I am one hundred percent focused on myself and my immediate family. Everything else is just noise. I don’t feel obligated to commit to things that are not healthy for myself or my family. I have set firm boundaries. I have been vocal with family members about my boundaries, how they are healthy for me and my family, and that’s that. When you look at others and say I’ve been to therapy, this isn’t healthy and I’m no longer doing these things, it’s amazing how powerful that can be. They immediately accepted it, didn’t question me and when I’m invited or expected to go to something that I don’t want to, I just say no. That’s the end of it. I don’t feel guilty. I don’t worry about it. I just say no. I’m not responsible for their happiness, only my own. I feel free!!
