In RTT, the hypnotic induction is primarily designed to:
Answer: Bypass the critical faculty and access the subconscious mind
The induction guides the client into a relaxed, focused state where the critical conscious mind is bypassed, making the subconscious accessible.
When a client becomes emotional during the regression phase, an RTT therapist should:
Answer: Encourage the client to observe the scene with curiosity rather than reliving it with full intensity
RTT practitioners are trained to help clients observe scenes with curiosity, maintaining therapeutic distance to process safely without re-traumatization.
The phrase 'What do you think this experience caused you to believe?' is most closely associated with which RTT session phase?
Answer: Regression scene analysis
This question is a core regression technique used to draw out the limiting belief the client formed from a past scene.
How many scenes does an RTT therapist typically ask the client to visit during a regression?
Answer: Usually three scenes
RTT convention is to visit three scenes during regression to gain enough material to identify patterns and root-cause beliefs.
Which statement BEST describes what 'transformation' means in the RTT session structure?
Answer: The therapist reframes past experiences and installs empowering beliefs using hypnotic suggestion while the client is in trance
Transformation in RTT means using hypnotic trance to reframe the meaning of past scenes and replace limiting beliefs with new, empowering ones.
A client tells the RTT therapist before the session that they cannot be hypnotized. The best response during the pre-talk is to:

The pre-talk specifically serves to dispel myths about hypnosis and reassure clients, including those who believe they cannot be hypnotized.
