Rapid Resolution Therapy with Clinical Hypnosis

Rapid Resolution Therapy™ is probably the most efficient and effective method for quickly and painlessly eliminating painful and troubling emotions that stem from past experiences and current stressful situations. This approach, developed by Jon Connelly, Ph.D., LCSW, a world renowned psychotherapist, trainer, and author, is a powerful tool for powerfully transforming a person’s distorted thinking and subsequent emotional response. It does this by addressing and adjusting both the conscious (superficial) and the subconscious (deeper) parts of the mind. Amazingly, this is accomplished without the person having to re-experience and re-live painful and traumatic emotions. There are three primary parts to this approach:

  • Transformational Communication: Changing thinking patterns and behaviors by removing judgements and labels that are often distorted.
  • Rapid Resolution: Clears the mind of troubling emotions that are often in response to past experiences. Like clearing out the unwanted clutter in an unused room of the house.
  • Dynamic Hypnotherapy: Strengthens and anchors the changes by adjusting the conscious and subconscious minds to respond to desired feelings, thoughts, and behaviors occur automatically.

Usually the client will notice dramatic relief and/or elimination of anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, shame, frozen grief, and drug/alcohol cravings within 1-3 sessions.

Virtually every issue or problem can be addressed with this approach. Client’s report that they feel free from painful emotions that have been haunting them for a lifetime. Their minds adjust so that they experience a sense of peace, comfort, and relief that has alluded them for many years.

About the Therapy

Face-to-face, on-line or telephonic counseling services are available. You don’t have to have a serious emotional problem to seek the guidance and advice of a professional counselor and coach. The people who may benefit the most from this type of service are those who are looking to remove obstacles to success and emotional fulfillment. This usually involves working together with the therapist to identify behavior patterns that impair or impede growth and happiness. The process may take only a few sessions to resolve a specific problem or it may take longer if the problems are more serious or complex.

Behind the Mask Workshop

This workshop is designed to help participants identify obstacles and barriers that may impede their personal growth and development.

It is an opportunity for the participant to look deep within themselves via a series of experiential and educational processes.

Participants will gain self awareness and develop a greater sense of their “personal power”. They will also learn new skills and techniques that may help them in their personal and professional lives.

Each participant will be asked to stretch themselves emotionally and physically during the workshop, but ultimately they set the limits on how deeply they are willing to go.

The workshop is an all day (9 hour) program that includes a series of experiential and didactic processes designed to help each person identify and uncover the “masks” that they portray to the world both outside and within.

Emotional Wholeness

The concept of emotional wholeness stemmed from Dr. Smith’s work as a therapist. He treated many patients for mental illness, but had to refer those who had issues with substance abuse. He sought out training, education, and experience in the fields of both psychology and addiction, and learned how to properly assess and treat substance use problems in conjunction with the treatment of mental illness. This, for example, allows Dr. Smith to competently treat a person for depression, and treat that person’s addiction.

Dr. Smith soon began to notice some commonalities in the clients he treated for mental illness and addiction. He found that those who were addicted to a substance, a person, a habit, or a behavior use these external things as substitutes for internal things, which had never fully developed. Furthermore, he found that these internal things (e.g., love, approval, acceptance, trust) were not only improperly developed, but were also never adequately received as a child.

Knowing that love, approval, acceptance, and trust (the internal things) are the ingredients necessary for healthy emotional development, he began to help his clients gain these things to become “emotionally whole”, as he calls it. He began to see the pattern: inadequate emotional development leaves the person lacking Emotional Wholeness.

This concept, of Emotional Wholeness, explains why so many people seek fulfillment outside themselves, and in doing so become vulnerable to unhealthy dependencies. In extending this framework, Dr Smith found that a person does not need to have a serious mental illness or substance use problem to lack emotional wholeness. In fact, many people live an otherwise functional existence, but never seem to feel happy and fulfilled.
