George came into his consultation feeling that he was doing pretty well in most areas of his life, but felt he really needed to experience growth when it came to romance and connections with friends and family.

He was aware that his parents’ tumultuous relationship had affected his outlook on romance.

Simultaneously, he keenly listed out the qualities he wanted in his ideal partner. 

In his RTT® session, he was amazed at how he was able to pinpoint exactly which subconscious beliefs he had adopted in his childhood that had been keeping him stuck all these years, preventing him from being able connect deeply and intimately with others.

Everything really does go back to childhood.

George was able to see how his needs for safety and belonging were not met in his childhood home as his four-year-old self constantly grappled with the fear that his family would break apart.

He came to unconsciously associate chaos with connection because that’s what was familiar to him growing up.

So, his mind chose to protect him by isolating him from connection.

That’s the narrative he had been playing out, almost a decade after moving out of his parents’ home.

Even though he was now an independent man, a part of him – his inner child – was still stuck in that childhood home, in a state of learned helplessness, wanting to feel safe but not being able to.

George’s reunion with his inner child was nothing short of emotional.

He was finally able to see the innocence of his younger self who simply wanted his parents to get along.

And because his parents could never get along, he developed the belief that all connections were explosive and would compromise his safety and inner peace.

Essentially, even though George wanted connection, on an unconscious level, he associated connection with a lack of safety.

Thus, his subconscious mind was sabotaging his conscious mind’s desire for connection by trying to keep him safe.

So we worked the magic of RTT® and got him to see that he was now an adult, and he could choose who to be in connection with.

He could choose which environments made him feel safe.

This was something he could not do as a dependent child in a chaotic household.

Several weeks later, George reported feeling a lot lighter and bubblier and able to have deep meaningful connections with the people in his life.   

He has even planned an overseas vacation with his loved ones.
