People who have heard of the RTT method but have not experienced it for themselves may think it seems similar to neurolinguistic programming (NLP). It’s true that both NLP and RTT can teach you how to better dialogue with your mind and understand the difference between what your subconscious and conscious minds believe. However, RTT has the added—and crucial—step of directly accessing the root cause of the presenting issue. Old, negative thoughts and behaviors are then reframed and blocks removed. Only at that stage is positive reinforcement introduced and a new, positive form of inner dialogue created. This is how RTT can achieve results not obtained through other therapies.
