Rewire Your Mind: How RTT Hypnotherapy Can Help with ADHD
Managing ADHD isn’t just about dealing with inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity—it’s about navigating the daily challenges that come with it.
Whether it’s struggling with focus, feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, or battling low self-esteem, ADHD affects more than just attention. Alongside RTT, I also offer ADHD coaching and therapy to provide tailored support in managing these challenges. If you’re looking for a personalised approach, visit my services page to explore how I can help.
What is RTT Hypnotherapy?
RTT combines elements of hypnosis, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). This unique blend allows for fast and lasting results, making it a highly effective approach for issues like executive functioning struggles, emotional regulation, phobias, and even sleep difficulties.
Developed by renowned therapist Marisa Peer, RTT uses hypnosis to bypass the critical, overactive mind and access the subconscious. This is where deep-rooted beliefs and thought patterns exist. By identifying and reshaping these, RTT helps individuals break free from limiting thoughts and develop more supportive, empowering beliefs.
If you’re looking for an alternative way to manage ADHD, whether alongside or instead of medication, RTT can be a game-changer. Below, I’ll explore five ADHD-related struggles that RTT can help with.
5 ADHD Traits RTT Can Help You Manage
1. Calm the Overthinking Mind
One of the biggest challenges for people with ADHD is an overactive mind. Racing thoughts can make it hard to concentrate, make decisions, or even relax. Overthinking can also lead to anxiety and self-doubt, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. I have written a blog on overthinking if you want to read more about stopping overthinking.
RTT helps quiet the mental noise. Through deep relaxation and subconscious reprogramming, RTT allows you to break free from repetitive thought loops, fostering a clearer, calmer, and more focused mindset.
If you are struggling with racing thoughts? My Unwind Your Mind – Stop Overthinking Hypnosis recording is designed to help you quiet mental chatter, regain focus, and feel more at ease.
2. Rebuild Self-Esteem
Many adults with ADHD, whether diagnosed or not, have spent years feeling misunderstood. Maybe you’ve been told you’re not trying hard enough, that you should be more organised, or that you need to ‘just focus.’ These experiences can take a toll on your self-worth.
RTT works to uncover and reframe subconscious beliefs that fuel feelings of inadequacy. By replacing these outdated narratives with empowering beliefs, RTT helps you build genuine self-confidence and approach challenges with a more resilient mindset.
3. Improve Sleep Quality
ADHD and sleep problems often go hand in hand. A restless mind can make it difficult to wind down, leading to trouble falling or staying asleep. Poor sleep, in turn, worsens focus, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
RTT helps promote relaxation, ease anxiety, and establish healthy sleep patterns. By rewiring subconscious associations around sleep, it enables you to experience deeper, more restorative rest—helping you feel more energised and clear-headed during the day.
For additional support, you can also download my free Sleep Meditation to help you unwind and drift into deep, restorative rest.
4. Strengthen Self-Confidence
Confidence struggles are common for people with ADHD, especially after years of being misunderstood or feeling ‘different.’ RTT helps reinforce self-belief by addressing subconscious fears and insecurities, allowing you to step into your potential with confidence and clarity.
5. Overcome Imposter Syndrome
Do you ever feel like you’re not as competent as others think you are? That you’ve somehow ‘tricked’ your way into success? Imposter syndrome is incredibly common in adults with ADHD, holding them back from fully embracing their achievements.
RTT helps shift the subconscious beliefs that fuel these feelings, allowing you to recognise your true abilities and take ownership of your success with pride.
Is There Research to Support Hypnotherapy for ADHD?
While research into hypnotherapy for ADHD is still growing, early studies show promising results. A small-scale study by Maarit Virta at the University of Helsinki found that hypnosis helped with common ADHD challenges, including focus and emotional regulation. Another follow-up study indicated that hypnosis had a greater impact than Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in certain areas.
These findings suggest that hypnosis—particularly RTT—may offer a valuable, evidence-backed approach to managing ADHD symptoms naturally.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a powerful way to manage ADHD beyond traditional methods, RTT hypnotherapy could be the missing piece. By addressing the subconscious beliefs driving your struggles, RTT helps transform the way you think, feel, and navigate life.
As a specialist in ADHD support, I combine RTT hypnotherapy with ADHD coaching, providing you with the tools and strategies to create meaningful, long-term change. Whether you want to boost focus, improve self-esteem, or finally break free from overthinking, RTT can help you unlock your full potential.
