Tailoring my approach to your individual needs and desired outcomes, I utilize a diverse range of therapy modalities such as Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®), Mindset Coaching & energy work to delve deep into the root causes of your trauma. By identifying and addressing the underlying issues, you will gain a profound understanding that empowers you with transformative abilities to achieve remarkable and enduring results for your mind and body.

Is RISE Therapy right for me?

My transformational programs and methods are designed for individuals who are tired of struggling and prepared to embrace lasting change and empower themselves to move forward in the direction they truly deserve.

This is why I don’t offer single sessions for an unlimited duration of time. These programs are designed to deliver rapid results and are not intended to keep you in therapy indefinitely.

There’s no need to know exactly how you will change; you just need to be ready for it. Each person’s journey is unique. Not all change is mind-blowing or dramatic, it often unfolds gradually and subtly over time.

What is RTT®?

RTT® stands for Rapid Transformation Therapy®. It is a multi-awarding winning hybrid therapy that combines important principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and neuroscience all brought together in hypnosis.

Wait, did you say ‘hypnosis’?

I sure did and I completely get that it may seem strange to do healing work in hypnosis.

95% of our mind works from our subconscious. It’s the part of our brain that stores all our memories and the meanings we’ve attached to those experiences. Only 5% of our mind operates with our conscious mind.

Ever driven somewhere and arrived not recalling how you got there? That’s a state of hypnosis!

In hypnosis, we can do deep work more quickly & effectively than traditional therapy.

How does this all work together?

Our minds work in fascinating ways, combining pictures and words to create our reality. You possess incredible power to bring about change and healing in your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Once you understand where your issues began and the beliefs and behaviors attached to them, you can create new, empowering beliefs and behaviors. Want to learn more? Check out this video!

About RISE - Lauren Schmidt - Rapid Transformational Therapist

How do I know if I’ve experienced childhood trauma or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

To become aware of potential trauma that may be present in your life, you should first understand that trauma is your emotional response to an outward experience that leaves you feeling afraid, disconnected, alone, and powerless. There’s no specific threshold for what constitutes childhood trauma, as it can vary with complex and ongoing abuse or neglect.

Even though the effects of trauma may not always be visible, they can manifest as long-term challenges, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), impacting your perception of the world and your sense of self, affecting different areas of your life, including your future plans, physical health, and relationships with others and your own body.

If you’re ready to explore your own experiences and gain further insight, I invite you to take my C-PTSD quiz.
