Basically, my issue is that I find it difficult to communicate easily in group situations. I often keep quiet in group discussions, as I don’t think other people will find what I have to say interesting, or funny. Sometimes I will think in my head about something interesting to say, but before I decide to contribute to the conversation, it has moved on. Also often people don’t look at me when they are talking, they look at other people and talk to other people in the group, and I keep trying to understand how others perceive me and whether it’s something I do that puts them off!! It makes this difficult to make social connections.
At work also, I have always found it difficult to build relationships with colleagues and know how to handle certain personalities.
However, even though I wanted to try RTT, I wasn’t sure it would work because I considered myself to be an introvert, and didn’t think it was possible to change this.
After the session, I quickly started to notice that I found myself more confident in my interactions with others. I noticed I was more spontaneous, and also making more jokes, which is something I never do. I really did feel like I could let go of a lot of things that were holding me back before. I even noticed being more confident in some of my family interactions which is not something I expected. I also noticed people starting to look at me more in group conversations, and that was a revelation to me because I could feel this really was making a difference.
So overall I found RTT really helpful, it has really helped me understand how to unlock the confidence in myself. I would thoroughly recommend Olga, she was very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, and really encouraged me throughout the whole process.
