Stories of healing, changeĀ and returning to self
Every person arrives here with a different story.
Some have carried long-held patterns or adverse experiences. Some have spent years searching for answers. Others simply know that something within them no longer feels right and they are ready for change.
The stories shared here are the words of people who have worked with Chrissie ā each describing their own experience of the process, what shifted for them and what the work has meant in their lives.
There is no single version of healing.
But sometimes, reading another personās story helps us recognise something within our own.Ā
CLIENT EXPERIENCES
In their own words
Catherine Opie | New Zealand
Ā
I have had a lot of counselling, healing, and psychotherapy over the last 25 years around my issues with toxic and psychologically abusive relationships, but I still seem to repeat similar patterns in how I relate to the men in my life. The last relationship left me with a lot of anxiety and panic to deal with and I had been seeing a psychotherapist for about a year for support with this.
I then worked with Chrissie. Her intuitive and highly nurturing skills have profoundly changed my life. To share and have my experiences witnessed in such a safe and caring space was powerful. With her guidance, I freed myself from the past - the root - that caused me so much pain.
It is as if my old patterns simply do not exist in my consciousness anymore.
Now, I am a different, more whole, and more confident person with much greater levels of self-worth and self-care, and it has made my life so much more blissful than ever before.
I definitely recommend Chrissie to anyone who wants to feel more joy, peace, and love in their lives. It really works, and at such a deep, transformative level.

Chrissie, I feel compelled to tell you that I started listening to the hypnosis recording from the first connection session as soon as you sent it.
That night I fell asleep without taking any sleep meds. I slept all night!!!! Woke early, but I had slept through the night without interruption. That surprised me, as I have been using sleep meds for about 7 years!
The next night I also listened and decided consciously not to take anything. And again, I slept all night, woke up ā SURPRISE!
So, I have continued that way all week and, for the first time in 7 years, have had a continuous run of 'natural' sleep. I am amazed.
(Having to take medication to sleep made me anxious and worried about what might lie ahead.)
I count this as a minor miracleā¦ā¦ā¦ thanks to you!!
Some time soon, let's do our catch-up. I am keen for the work to continue.

Chrissie is a very caring and compassionate Guide. She helped me work on years of troubling behaviours that were crippling my life.
You see, I was born during the Croatian war and then spent years as a war refugee. Australia has been home for two decades, yet prior to my sessions, life never felt safe.
I wanted simple things like being able to go to the supermarket by myself and feel safe. I suffered from anger flipping into rage. I did not like myself or know what it was like to feel happy, plus, I suffered from other more personal issues.
Now I have completed my sessions, I have a sense of freedom and calm and can live happily in my world. I donāt get angry or physically pick at myself anymore. Iāve forged an amazing relationship with my Mum and have the desire to get my own place with the work I have taken on.
Sometimes I just stop and think I don't recognise this person, but I love this person.
Chrissie is the perfect guide to help you work through anything big or small. Always available and always very loving and caring.
Again, thank you so much for all you've done.

Working with Chrissie has been truly life-changing. Her genuine passion for understanding the root of issues created a safe space where I felt confident placing my trust in her guidance. The transformation was almost immediateāI experienced a profound sense of calm in my body and a significant reduction in the persistent mental chatter that had plagued me for years.
The changes have been remarkable: I've discovered a newfound sense of confidence and ease that I never thought possible. After a lifetime of childhood trauma that essentially controlled my life, my anxiety and depression have all but disappeared. I'm experiencing more joy and ease than ever before. My relationships have deepened, my confidence has soared, my business has expanded, and my creativity continues to flourish.
If you're seeking lasting changeāmore peace, greater confidence, and genuine joy in your lifeāChrissie is the person you need to speak with.

I had two RTT sessions with Chrissie for long term issues I was experiencing with trauma, generalised chronic anxiety, panic and depression.
This has been a life-changing experience for me. Chrissie, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
As I write this five months later, I am surprised at how it quickly helped me to dramatically shift my thinking, and that it has lasted! Iād been working with a therapist for several years using approaches like EMDR and CBT. While I was able to get some improvement, Iād regress when triggered and felt like there was something massive blocking me.
Through my two sessions with Chrissie, I was able for the first time to get down to the root causes ā to properly process the emotions that I hadnāt been able to back then. She then helped me to get right down to the subconscious limiting thoughts for me and CHANGE them!
Chrissie has an incredibly gentle, non-judgmental approach that made me feel safe. She followed up with me each time to see how I was going, and I knew I could call her if I needed. I highly recommend Chrissie Catling.

I had suffered for most of my adult life with issues of self-esteem and self-worth. Having recently separated from a relationship of 20 years, I decided it was time work on some long-standing misconceptions of myself.
Chrissie guided me through my RTT sessions with great care and helped me focus on these areas. She, with care and confidence, helped me isolate root causes of these issues.
Since my RTT sessions, I have found that these feelings and thoughts rarely enter my mind. When they do, I am able to refocus and deliver a more positive message. I am now living the change I experienced through my RTT sessions with Chrissie. To say it life changing is an understatement... I donāt even relate to who I was before.
Words canāt express my thanks.

My experience with Chrissie was a life changing journey.
After the loss of my daughter, I struggled deeply with historical thought processes that continued to hamper my growth and emotional development. Chrissie allowed me to understand the basis and origin of those thoughts and behaviours allowing me to be cognoscente of what drove a self-destructive nature. Across my 3 sessions I made steady progress and as a result of the therapy I have come to terms with my loss and allowed myself and others around me to heal. My relationships have improved and I'm on a positive path the likes of which Iāve never experienced.
Chrissieās gentle nature, dedication, warmth and empathy made the process to open up much easier than I had experienced with conventional therapy methods.
I sincerely recommend Chrissie and her process to those who are truly committed to their mental health and want to really begin living a more enriched life free of emotional burden.

As soon as I met with Chrissie I felt instantly at ease, and she met me with deep presence, understanding, warmth and kindness.
Throughout the process, I could feel Chrissie's genuine care and dedication to her work. Since my session, I have experienced wonderful shifts in my life, and I feel more hopeful, excited and worthy of the life I want to experience.
I highly recommend working with Chrissie.

My anxiety around driving was increasing. Not only was this debilitating and exhausting, but I had no idea how to begin to subdue the apprehension, let alone overcome it.Ā I had never heard of RTT, but I felt an instant connection with Chrissie and so was willing to be open to the experience.Ā Ā
Prior to the session Chrissie thoroughly explained what was involved with RTT and answered all my questions. Her empathy, reassurance and understanding fostered a safe space, whereĀ collaboratively she helped me gain clarity on aspects of my past and freed me from entrenched fears.Ā Ā
Chrissie has transformed my life in such a short time. Now I canĀ happily and safely drive wherever I want, which feels so liberating and exciting. An added surprise has been the ripple effect the RTT healing has had on other aspects of my life. I feel lighter, more confident, and ready to embrace all that life has to offer me.Ā
With such thanks! Ro

Chrissie is such a kind and beautiful soul. She made me feel so safe when I was vulnerable and Iām amazed with the progress Iāve made since our sessions.
My post RTT session chat was so enlighteningā¦.Iād realised behaviours that were so engrained in me were suddenly gone!
I also appreciated her check ins and her willingness to support me in any way she could.
Thank you, Chrissie

I was intrigued by the concept of Rapid Transformative Therapy and delighted to discover the unique therapeutic skills of Chrissie.
Initially, I had wanted to explore my lack of commitment to many areas in my life. How extraordinarily lucky in my work with Chrissie that other pathways to self-understanding were revealed.
Chrissie's intuitive and highly nurturing skills have profoundly changed my life. To share and have my experiences witnessed in such a safe and caring space was powerful. To change negative perspectives into positive ones, utterly transformative.
It is hard to express in words. I feel so energised and I cannot believe the things that have come into my life after my session.
Thank you Chrissie for making this possible.

I came to Chrissie when I had tried everything to get anxiety and panic disorder under control. I was always worried that hypnosis would not work on me.
Chrissie made me feel so comfortable from the get go she has a calming voice and is always available when you need her an overall beautiful person who I could relate to.
The process was seamless and it is 4 weeks post session and I have definitely turned a corner.
Reinforcing the subconscious mind has really worked for me. My anxiety has halved and is more manageable now. I know it will get even better over time.
I am so happy that i chose Chrissie the investment was 100 % worth it ! Thank you so much for changing my life for the better!

Before receiving RTT from Chrissie I struggled to overcome anxiety and do the things I wanted to do in life.
After RTT the anxiety receded and now I find it easy to get out and live life to the full.
So blessed!

I had invested a significant amount of time in healing over a 25-year period, but saw little return in terms of happiness, joy, and peace.
When I had my first chat with Chrissie on the phone, I was in a hyper-desperate place for help. I was struggling, with little hope and overwhelming anxiety about living my lifeā¦powerless in every sense of the word.
I underwent three RTT sessions with Chrissie, and upon completing my third session, I found a profound sense of peace within myself and in my life. I am now drawing in more beautiful, uplifting, authentic, and loving individuals. Daily synchronicities occur, almost like magic. Additionally, I successfully quit smoking cigarettes, and overall, I now love my life!
I would like to thank you Chrissie with all my heart for facilitating and supporting such significant healing in me, I feel blessed.
For anyone that is genuinely seeking to move forward from their past, I couldn't recommend anyone better to facilitate that change so you can be happy, be free.

I worked on a deep-seated belief that people arenāt good that was eroding my personal and professional relationships, and causing me to feel charged and angry, to the point of destructive.
Two sessions with Chrissie allowed me to vent old, unresolved hurt and anger, and empower myself. My life has shifted 360. I look out and engage in my world with love and peace in my heart, and wonderfully find the world mirroring this back to me.
Huge gratitude Chrissie, you are a wise guide.

I needed to tackle my negative self-talk, but I didnāt know where to start. I couldnāt put my finger on exactly what it was I wanted to improve, just felt it all stemmed from my low confidence and self-worth.
Chrissie was able to guide me in a way to start my own self-discovery. She was kind, professional, understanding and I felt safe in every session that took place. Chrissie helped me to really find the root cause of some long-held ideas that I had about myself.
Now my negative self-talk has reduced and changed, I gained more confidence and I am not attracting the same negative situations anymore.
I live interstate and Chrissie was more than willing to facilitate sessions over the internet and I found them just as effective as sitting face to face.
I could not recommend Chrissie and the service she provides enough. If you are not quite sure or you know what you wish to improve on and you want to make a long-term change, I would say with 100% certainty that Chrissie and RTT are for you!

Thank you, Chrissie, you are a wonderful, intuitive, and caring therapist.
I found Chrissie online. I looked at her portfolio and reviews and knew she was the therapist for me. I really felt ready for change, I could have sat in psychologistsā offices for the next 10 years or more going over what I was processing, however, I liked the sound of transformational therapy.
I had 3 sessions with Chrissie where I found her to be very caring, very focused, intuitive and intelligent in taking you through the process of healing under hypnosis. After my 3 sessions, I am still processingā¦what I was dealing with cannot be healed overnight, however, she got me to a point of being happier, confident, open, and on the way to healing completely.
Walking around with my head in a cloud, afraid to live, and always being sad was awful. I can now say that I am feeling happier. I still miss my husband, however, I am not withdrawn, grieving and sad. I also feel confident after a childhood of never being enough. I had to fall in love with myself again and Chrissie helped me to look within and empower that little girl that was hiding.
Thank you, Chrissie, you truly are one of God's angels and I'm very grateful you came into my life and changed it for the better. Thank you with all my heart x Mel (Lion :) roar!)

After my session with Chrissie, my negative self-talk has nearly disappeared, and I now congratulate myself for all the things I do well (which never happened before). I feel so much better in my own skin, and I have more energy than before!
If you want to see real shifts in your life, I highly recommend Chrissie. She is dedicated, professional, and an all around great person. Thank you!

My childhood abuse played awful games with my life as I suffered from PTSD, felt continually stressed, was continually triggered, and pretended life was okay to get by.
I was recommended to Chrissie through a colleague when I once again felt very low.
Chrissie guided me to uncover times of my abuse, even some I had locked away, and I got to take my power back. I know those traumatic things happened to me, but now I donāt feel attached to them anymore. I donāt run around living in circles of fright, helplessness, anxiety, and stress. No wonder I was so tired!!!
Now, I am just me, and every day I feel more in touch with happiness. Iām so much more present, my mind has quietened, I have more energy, and best of all, I donāt have to pretend anymore. I am free, embracing every moment.
I canāt thank this aware, caring woman enough for facilitating and supporting my revolutionary healing. From the bottom of my peaceful, happy heart, thank you, Chrissie.

I first met Chrissie through the Joe Dispenza Meditation group. After attending a Dr. Joe Advanced 7-day Retreat which was beyond anything I had imagined possible, I needed more help to take next steps. With the session, I intended to open my heart more deeply, and release the chronic pain body I had been living with for seven years.
Ā
My RTT session with Chrissie was phenomenal. The amount of time, energy and love she devoted to me throughout the process greatly assisted in my healing. The process was incredibly life-changing, and the post-session audio takes me deeper and I instantly go into hypnosis. Iām excited about the new trajectory of my healing journey as a result of this work.
Ā
Only five weeks post-session, I have experienced a greater heart opening that released a blockage that felt like a closed fist whenever I took a deep breath, body pain has diminished, I have released limiting self-image issues of the bodyās appearance from multiple, osteoporosis compression fractures, and overall I feel lighter, more free.
Ā
Chrissie is an amazing woman with such a beautiful heart and is incredibly skilled in her craft. She receives my highest accolades and deepest gratitude. Ashi

I feel fortunate to have found Chrissie. She is an amazing person who is genuine, compassionate, empathetic, and deeply passionate about her work. Chrissie truly listens and intuitively crafts sessions that are perfectly tailored to your needs.
Every day, I am grateful for the wonderful work Chrissie has done for me.
Thank you, Chrissie, you are one in a million.

Chrissie is an excellent Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner - insightful, professional, and eager to provide a tailored approach. I have experienced tangible changes of increased physical well-being and enjoy a happier approach to life after my remote RTT session over Zoom with her.
Sally BĀ | NSW, Australia

I did an immersion of three sessions to address long term over eating issues.
Having no prior experience with RTT I was surprised how quickly I felt a shift in my issues.
Having spent years trying various therapies to address this issue and not really making much progress this is such a relief.
I canāt recommend Chrissie highly enough and I am so grateful to her for the permanent change it has brought to my life.

As a Reiki Master, Yoga and Qi Gong teacher and researcher of consciousness for 25+ years, I am able to distinguish teachers and practitioners who āwalk the walk and talk the talkā. Without hesitation, I can confirm Chrissie Catling is a teacher and practitioner of truth, honour and integrity.
After every conversation I have with Chrissie, I am reminded of my true self, my life path - I feel inspired and supported each and every time. I am honoured to have Chrissie a part of my own personal health care team.
If you have ever wondered the meaning of your life, how to get beyond your current limited mind set and open yourself to your true potential, I can highly recommend Chrissie Catling and RTT.
Eda AppleĀ | VIC, Australia
Ā
I am so honoured and grateful to have connected with Chrissie and have had such a deep and powerful healing transformation through her incredible work within such a short time.
The moment I had my first conversation with her, I knew I was in very good hands, I felt so safe and supported by her and able to express my full vulnerability. Her RTT healing has more than initiated the deep healing of my unwanted behaviours and traumas of the root causes of Bulimia and binge eating, but helped lift and channel this self development in me that is beyond what I initially saw her for.
I couldnāt recommend Chrissie more highly, and Iām so blessed to have been taken care of by her.
Thank you so much.

I just had my third reading over several years with Chrissie because I felt lost and defeated.
She knew exactly how I had been feeling.Ā The reading was insightful and inspirational and I came away with great clarity and hope for my future. If you are looking for direction in your life make an appt, you won't be disappointed.Ā
I can't recommend Chrissie enough....thank you thank you thank you. šĀ Shirley
