The IRRT Blog

It's been a week of realizations.  It dawned on me that I haven't introduced you to the Institute for Rapid Resolution Therapy's  blog.  Yes they have a blog too.  Or you could say we have 2 blogs. 
Anyways...what I like about the IRRT's blog is the fact they utilize many guest bloggers for their blog.  They also feature the many books written by other Certified Practitioners, the accomplishments of our Certified Practitioners, as well as the many trainings we support and produce. 
So with no further ado I am directing you to the Institute for Rapid Resolution Therapy's blog.

Maybe there's another way...

Recently one of our Certified Practitioners posted an article from a Swedish Psychologist, Scott D. Miller, Ph.D...it reviews the Swedish research into the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  The country of Sweden spent a very large amount of money training therapists in CBT and then having therapists treat clients with and with out disabilities with CBT.  The outcome?  CBT wasn't that helpful.  In fact in one section of the article he noted that some clients whom started treatment without a disability developed one: "The widespread adoption of the method has had no effect whatsoever on the outcome of people disabled by depression and anxiety.  Moreover, a significant number of people who were not disabled at the time they were treated with CBT became disabled, costing the government an additional one billion Swedish crowns.  Finally, nearly a quarter of those who started treatment, dropped out, costing an additional 340 million!" Here's the link to the actual article

Revolution in Swedish Mental Health Practice: The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Monopoly Gives Way

It's at least worth a look!  Maybe the mental health field is finally going to take a look at it's self and realize that other forms of therapy, such as Rapid Resolution Therapy are beneficial and effective!!

Start with yourself

Quote by an unknown monk from AD 1100: "When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town, and as a older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."

Research

I'm asked a lot about where to find a book on Rapid Resolution Therapy® and where to find research on RRT as well.  The book will likely be out sometime in 2012.  The research is being done as I write this.  In fact the research team did a poster presentation at the 2011 Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress in Las Vegas this year.  Research takes time, and may I say I'm glad we have a research team taking this task on because we need this info and because it doesn't involve me.  (Not a fan of doing research myself!!)  For more information on the research go to Cleartrauma.com and click on the "Research" button!!
