'RAPID ANXIETY REDUCTION METHOD' (RARM) Training Program for Therapists
REDUCE and ELIMINATE ANXIETY
Anxiety is the future projection of something bad happening that is unlikely to actually occur. It is the way our mind attempts to protect us. Problem being, the anxiety can prevent us from living our life, taking controlled risks, and exploring new possibilities. It can debilitate and freeze a person.
The RARM technique is a fast, easy, and simple anxiety reduction method. It concentrates directly on the issue the client is concerned about. An issue they will experience within the next few days. Therefore, we do this session only a few days prior to their event or experience causing them this feeling of anxiety.

Welcome to the New Year and our first issue. Unfortunately, we did not have enough manuscripts to publish the second issue in 2022. It seems COVID and difficulties for many prevented this creative work. We now have many in the pipeline and we look forward to both issues this year.
Karen Phillip is a Master practitioner in Counselling and Hypnotherapy, and she generously shares her ongoing research. This current article explores her research on a new Anxiety reduction method. We are all aware how anxiety and its ensuing distress has grown rapidly during the COVID pandemic, so this pilot study provides a breakthrough for practitioners wanting to alleviate their clients’ distress. It is named as a Rapid Anxiety Reduction Method (RARM). A group of therapists were trained to use this method and the results were promising showing effectiveness in 86% of cases. In addition, there was a 70%-90% reduction in symptoms.
Karen Phillip is one of Australia's leading Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. She runs a busy Central Coast/Lake Macquarie practice in NSW and works with people around the world. Her experience and qualifications are of the highest standard and she is also a trainer and supervisor of peers. Karen conducts workshops here and overseas.
Karen and her husband Wayne decided to start the Australian Hypnotherapy College after speaking to many graduates struggling to make a living as a therapist. It was hearing so many disappointing stories of how students were unprepared to step out professionally when they finished training, that prompted Karen to start higher quality and broader training to ensure all students were fully prepared and confident in their ability to start a successful practice.
The Quit Smoking and Weight Loss Master Class training teaches students to use the innovative Phillip Method to ensure not only client success but success for the therapist as they build their reputation as a professional and successful hypnotherapist specialising in helping people achieve their desired goal.
