Back to the future

Sofia Megzari suffered from crippling depression and suicidal thoughts for more than 25 years and had tried everything conventional medicine, psychiatry and many other therapies had to offer, but to no avail.

So when she heard about a modality called Rapid Transformational Therapy^TM (RTT)—a hybrid of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy—that claimed to cure people of practically any issue within one to three sessions, she was initially very skeptical.

By that time, Sofia, a French academic living in Copenhagen with three master’s degrees in cultural anthropology and linguistics, had given up hope of finding any answers and had accepted that she would just have to live with depression for the rest of her life. 

“I had been dealing with depression most of my life since childhood, and I had tried just about everything,”she says. “I had been on different kinds of antidepressants, I had gone to psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, art therapists.”

Despite being married with a 13-year-old son, Sofia’s depression was very severe and debilitating; she was suicidal much of the time and had reached a point of giving up.
