"I am writing to sincerely thank you for your work with me on craving cessation. For many years I struggled with frequent and intense cravings for alcohol. When such cravings would arise, I was powerless against them. As a medical doctor, I am well aware of the damaging physical and psychological effects of alcohol. However, I still could not control the desire to drink and my willpower alone proved insufficient. After just one session with you focusing on the elimination of such cravings, I have not had the yearning to drink again. In fact, I am repulsed by the thought of consuming alcohol! Your ability to “rewire” the portions of my mind that were responsible for craving alcohol is absolutely amazing! In just one hour you were able to completely eliminate my desire to drink, a task I have been unable to accomplish by utilizing many other methods. Your technique is remarkably effective and life changing. I highly recommend your services to anyone who is struggling with drug and or alcohol cravings, as I once was. You are a truly brilliant and gifted therapist and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you.
Thank you Dr. Connelly!"
Sincerely,

How does it work?
When fueled by the ongoing influence of traumatic past events, emotional problems, destructive behaviors and relationship difficulties are impossible to overcome. Unresolved, these issues can increase vulnerability to medical problems. Attempting to bring about enduring change without eliminating the ongoing influence of these “ghosts from the past” is like trying to repair the structure of a building by applying a coat of paint. Dr. Connelly’s Rapid Resolution Therapy eliminates the negative effect from traumatic painful or confusing events whether these experiences are remembered, repressed or forgotten. Unconscious conflicts blocking desired change are pinpointed and resolved. Precise multi-level communication accelerates healing and improves emotions, beliefs, expectations and self-concept. The mind is cleared, organized and optimized.
Success does not depend on strength, courage or willpower. Instead, perspective is changed, internal conflict is resolved and the mind's inner resources are mobilized. People reach their desired goals as all facets of the mind are tuned and harmonized.
People report an immediate surge in energy and confidence and enjoy dramatic improvements in thoughts, feelings and behavior. Because the root cause of problems is pinpointed and cleared positive change endures.
"I was adopted at 3 weeks old by a mentally ill alcoholic woman. Years of physical and psychological abuse followed. Sometimes her sister would come and visit us. Her sister was a Catholic nun.
Once, as a young girl I woke up feeling a cold, sharp feeling against my chest just below my throat. Then the cold was gone and I could see it. The biggest butcher knife we had in our kitchen, and my adopted mother had it in her hand, twisting and turning it over my head. I was crying and calling for help while she repeated nonsensical psychotic jabber holding the knife to my throat then sliding it over my body. My aunt never came. I didn’t understand why she would let me endure years of horror from my adoptive mother’s maltreatment without ever helping me. After all, she was a nun!
My adoptive mother had a vicious grip and glaring eyes. She would often scream that I was a worthless disgrace and embarrassment and that was why my real parents didn’t want me. Verbal and physical abuse continued throughout my childhood. When I tried to run away I was labeled a juvenile delinquent and the police returned me to my home for more of the same.
Occasionally, our family priest took me to the rectory summer cottage on Cape Cod. One day he told me to take a nap on the couch. He put his hand on my breast over my shirt. I didn’t know what to do so I just pretended to be sleeping. He unbuttoned my shirt and reached inside to fondle my breasts. Finally, he left.
Later, after conducting Saturday evening mass we ate dinner together and then I went to bed. He came into my room and began touching me again but this time it didn’t stop. I cried quietly as he raped me. I thought the pain would never stop. I didn’t understand. I was ten years old. When he left I curled up in a fetal position and stayed that way all night. I never slept. When the light of dawn came through the window I saw so much blood all over the sheets. I had no one to tell.
During my teen and early adult years I tried to escape from my feelings with alcohol and drugs. I developed an eating disorder and I became involved in abusive relationships. I was lost, isolated, hopeless, depressed, angry, self-destructive and desperate. I became pregnant, had an abortion and attempted suicide.
I sought out therapy where I was told I had to feel worse before I got better. I was required to relive the painful events of my past again and again. I recall my unending crying and deep sobbing every Wednesday afternoon.
Things did get worse but they did not get better. After 6 months of therapy I attempted suicide once again and went into a psychiatric hospital. There were endless probing questions from the staff. A psychotic man stalked me insisting I was the dead wife he had raped and murdered.
I was in so much pain. I wanted to get better. I went into many types of therapy over the next ten years including individual, group, inpatient, outpatient, insight oriented, process oriented, task oriented, client centered, gestalt, and many others.
One therapist had me wear a thick rubber band and snap myself painfully whenever I had unhappy feelings. Another had me drinking from a baby bottle to nurture my inner child. The first really hurt and the next was just plain weird but neither brought relief from my pain. I began studying to be a mental health counselor both to find my own answers and to help others and I continued my own therapy at the same time.
Cogitative therapists encouraged me to analyze the logic of my thoughts but this didn’t help me. Others encouraged positive affirmations such as repeating the words “I am happy” but this felt untrue and disingenuous and caused my mind to flood still more with negative thought. I was given all types of homework assignments and tasks to complete. I received a myriad of diagnoses, although that never resulted in any increased efficiency in finding relief.
I tried to help myself with a book called the Courage to Heal by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis. It encouraged me to turn anger into action and plan a confrontation but I believe that people who commit these acts generally do not have a sense of remorse or regret and besides, God handles judgment, not me.
At age 38 I ended therapy. I was just honestly worn out from it all.
I then heard about someone who had a completely different approach to helping people who had been traumatized. Dr. Jon Connelly’s Rapid Resolution Therapy was completely unlike any therapeutic approach I had heard of or experienced. Dr. Connelly told me that therapy did not have to be painful or take a long time. His compassion and humor actually made the process of resolving trauma fun. After all of my experiences in learning about various therapeutic approaches I was delighted to find a process that was fast, powerful, gentle and effective. I met with Dr. Connelly twice and that was all it took to have an overwhelming feeling of freedom and relief.
I now have much more energy and enjoy day-to-day life much more than I ever have. I lost 15 pounds and started running again after 20 years and completed 3 road races. I have more love to share in my marriage.
The rape, abuse, and terror I lived through are can now merely experiences I went through, nothing more, and nothing less. I can think about them or describe them without any negative feelings and this is something I would never have believed possible.
I am blessed and thank the Lord every day for leading me to this healing and truly transformational process. I am grateful much beyond words. All the past events have served a purpose; the evils have been turned to good."

“The craving for heroin was almost impossible to resist. After only one visit with Dr. Connelly it completely disappeared."
"I no longer struggle with a desire to drink alcohol. After one visit with Dr. Connelly it completly disappeared"
"Dr. Connelly told me he could help rid me of all my ghosts from past events. I was skeptical, but my journey since has been incredible. I find myself taking risks and experiencing an openness that has created wonderful new adventures for me. I feel excited for the first time in many years and feel so much gratitude that I was led to him. The skepticism is now gone and I truly believe in this incredibly enlightening process."
"Being violently raped in my own home and left with my face so battered that I could not recognize myself in the mirror was a horribly traumatic experience that I thought I could never clear from my mind. For seven years after this event I experienced insomnia, terrible nightmares, panic attacks, and terrible feelings of shame.
After working with Dr. Connelly I was freed from the ongoing negative effects from this experience. It has been almost a year since he worked with me and I continue to be able to sleep through the whole night without nightmares or sleeping pills and this is something I never thought would be possible. I no longer wake up in a cold sweat with feelings of terror. I used to be filled with fear just looking at my bed and wondering what kind of night I was going to have. Now I look at my bed as a place of comfort.
I am absolutely clear through every part of my mind that what happened is finished, over and done. I can even talk about it without feeling any negative emotional response. There are not enough words in the English language to thank Dr. Connelly for helping me through this."
"For many years I had been struggling with chronic migraine headaches. I tried multiple medications and prevention diets. Perhaps because I myself am a health professional I was reluctant to consider other then traditional medical treatment. I simply did not believe anything else would work.
I do not understand how or why Dr. Connelly's process works, but I know that it does. I have been free of headaches and pain relievers."
"Dr. Connelly's method is by far the most complete in its ability to facilitate and resolve trauma. It has enabled me to reach the final plateau of my healing process. I so much want to thank him for the gift he has shared with me. Dr. Connelly has assisted me in creating a most longed for reunion with a very dear and long-lost loved one - Me!
I am enjoying a kind of knowingness that my past is most definitely over and truly look forward to a joy filled future. I feel great peace within myself and I am able to move ahead each day in the direction of my dreams. I am experiencing a confidence I've only dreamed of having before meeting Dr. Connelly.
What is most amazing is that so much of what I've wanted to create for myself, such as a better work situation, etc. is manifesting now as if by magic. I'm really thrilled and oh so grateful."
"I am writing you to thank you for the therapy work you did with me three years ago concerning my relationship with my father. Though he has been dead for six years, and I am nearly fifty years old myself, I have been plagued all my life with anxiety and anger because of my father's mistreatment of me in childhood and his emotional inaccessibility to me throughout life. For years, I have had temper problems and anxiety problems including panic attacks, and depression.
In a single two-hour session, you relieved the tremendous burden of my father's negative influence on my life. Finally, I am free of the resentment I felt toward him. I have a sense of peacefulness and energy that I hadn't had for twenty years. I can't thank you enough. You've given me something of limitless value that I thought I could never have."
"As you know, for five years I have struggled with severe pain due to fibromyalgia. It was difficult to get out of bed and walk across a room in the morning. My physical activities became extremely limited. The future looked bleak and I was depressed and frustrated. This tainted all aspects of my life.
Two weeks ago I found myself running down the beach. It was an astonishing experience and one that I now take great joy in repeating. This break-through was due entirely to the work you did with me. I know that miracle is a strong word, but it certainly feels like one to me. You have my deepest gratitude."

"Here is a follow up report on the patient of mine with dizziness and disequilibrium. He and his daughter came for a return visit yesterday and they reported that his symptoms are nearly completely resolved. He attributes much of his current level of comfort to his single meeting with you. I agree. He has had only two very brief periods in which symptoms started to come on, but they resolved, not building to the type of climax that had characterized previous spells. If you recall, he had several recent visits to Emergency Rooms, lengthy, costly, and invasive cardiologic workups on more than one occasion, and had seen many different specialists, all to no avail."
