Tackling Anxiety and Phobias: Nino's Innovative Approach with Rapid Transformational Therapy
In the recent episode of "Advancing With Amy / Mental Health Warrior," Amy sits down with Nino, a seasoned counselor and rapid transformational therapist (RTT). They dive deep into the power of rapid transformational therapy, the unique needs of veterans dealing with PTSD, and the profound ways in which early experiences shape our fears and behaviors. Here’s a close look at some of the key takeaways and insights from their conversation.
### The Evolution of a Therapist
Nino's journey began with a master's degree completed in 1998, followed by diverse experiences as a counselor, marriage and family therapist, and work with various foundations. Initially considering a PhD, Nino found her true calling in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). Working with Marissa Piers, she discovered the profound impact and efficacy of this modality on both herself and her clients.

Amy, the host, opened up about returning to complete her MBA after 20 years, expressing uncertainties about the future.
