Lasting Change
Are you stuck?
If you have been stuck and unable to successfully change your feelings, thoughts or behaviors, it is likely that you are being affected by experiences from your past. When fueled by the ongoing influence of past events, emotional problems, troubling thoughts, destructive behaviors and relationship difficulties can seem impossible to overcome. Attempting to bring about enduring change without eliminating these “ghosts from the past” is like trying to repair the structure of a building by applying a coat of paint.
What is Rapid Resolution Therapy?
Rapid Resolution Therapy® eliminates the ongoing effect stemming from disturbing or painful experiences. Trauma is resolved gently and painlessly. The conflict blocking desired change disappears. Because the root causes of problems are pinpointed and cleared, positive changes endure. Negative emotions and destructive behavioral patterns are eliminated. There are dramatic improvements in thoughts, feelings and behavior.
A Better way for Veterans
Receiving support through the Veterans Affairs (VA) for mental health care can often be met with barriers when seeking counseling; treatments that are offered require veterans to relive painful past experiences for weeks, sometimes years. Rapid Resolution Therapy address issues related to military service such as depression, PTSD, substance use, and military sexual trauma. With RRT, the symptoms and root cause may be eliminated in one to two sessions, leaving the service member feeling clear and freed from painful events of the past.
Special pricing for RRT sessions are offered to our veterans. We are also a non-VA, VA approved facility, and you may be able to have your services covered. At Sarasota Rapid Resolution Therapy, a veteran who understands the challenges met by service members will provide the treatment.
Depression
Depression is a common disorder due to military experience, which can occur by itself or with PTSD and substance abuse. Many are not aware that they may be experiencing depression, but will have severe symptoms that interfere with daily activities such as sleeping, eating, or working. With RRT, we locate the source of distress and remove unconscious blocks to move forward. Once eliminated, you will feel energized and focused to engage in life.
Trauma
Veterans are more likely to experience or witness a trauma such as death, war, physical or sexual assault, and accidents. Trauma causes debilitating psychological and physical symptoms, along with problems interacting in relationships. PTSD results in flashbacks, intense emotions, and trouble sleeping. RRT will help the mind understand that the trauma is no longer happening, and therefore eliminating emotions and flashbacks. Leaving the individual present to experience the current moment.
PTSD
The VA’s preferred method of treatment for PTSD and military sexual trauma requires veterans to attend weeks or months of counseling while reliving painful events from the past using Prolonged Exposure (PE) or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These therapies are “evidence-based,” but most veterans are not able to engage in, let alone, complete treatment due to their distressing nature. With RRT, it is gentle and painless. Techniques will be used so that the mind can process the trauma. Once complete, mind is cleared leaving you present to life’s activities and clarity to move forward.
Counselor
Many treatments and therapist are available for counseling veterans. RRT is ideal for veterans who would like to eliminate painful emotional experiencing from past events without having to see a counselor week after week. Treatment is brief, painless, and the session lasts until the task is complete. Once the task is complete the mind is cleared. The effect is immediate and lasting. At Sarasota Rapid Resolution Therapy, you will have a counselor who has experience in military related mental health, and clearing traumatic incidents with the RRT process.
