TRTP Testimonials

Margie Bauer’s facilitation of TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process) is nothing short of amazing.

In five, relatively short, but powerful sessions, I went from a life of self-destructing and self-sabotaging, to a state of mind that is now self-compassionate, capable of self-soothing and one that enjoys a genuine feeling of emotional ‘safety’. That is, I now feel secure that I can act in my own loving and best interests. Like many, I thought I had to have suffered a one-off dramatic traumatic occasion to qualify for trauma counselling. Not so! As so many of us had, I suffered a series of parental neglect and abandonment in early childhood. It turns out that I more than qualified for TRTP. This dysfunctional early childhood had sadly set me up for a lifetime of self-destruction and self-sabotage - especially if the prospect of a loving relationship was on offer. When it came to romance especially, I could be generally be relied upon to totally and painfully sabotage any prospects, often destroying a relationship before it even had the chance to start. To say I’d had enough; is an under-statement. What I loved about Margie’s TRTP process is it essentially ‘cuts to the chase’. There was no need for endless days, or even hours of emotional archaeology or analysis, the TRTP process with Margie’s compassionate and wise guidance is based on accessing our deepest levels of memories and imagination through a series of highly targeted and proven guided meditations. It is this TRTP process that allows us to safely accesses the trauma, where it is stored – in the sub-conscious and in our body – and where it can be lovingly confronted and conquered. I wholeheartedly recommend Margie Bauer’s intelligent, effective and compassionate TRTP therapy. It applies to anyone who is feeling ‘stuck’, or is destructively self-medicating, or painfully and repeatedly self-sabotaging - especially the prospect of love and success. Margie’s TRTP process is worth it! You’re worth it!

When Margie Bauer was recommended to me, I committed to her program with an open mind and a nothing to lose approach. I would never have believed that trauma was the root of my anxiety but after just five sessions of TRTP with Margie I feel empowered to move ahead in so many areas of my life. Anxiety wasn’t just holding me back socially but in my career, my creative expression and my ability to share my gifts with the world. Margie has an extraordinary ability to make one feel completely accepted and loved and I didn’t even meet her in person, all my sessions were done remotely in another state in the comfort of my own home.  Thank you Margie, forever grateful. Carole.

Hi my name is Lesley Bowers and I would like to recommend Margie Bauer and her work using TRTP .I am someone who has suffered greatly over the last 30 yrs from PTSD and over the years I have sought out Therapy for this because of how it has impacted my life , not just in my relationship but also my work life. I have suffered with acute Anxiety and Depression . All as a result of childhood trauma and an 18yr marriage in which was extremely violent. I have worked with several very good Therapists and counsellors over the years but I didn’t really seem to get all that much better. As a result 18 months ago I had a complete breakdown and needed to give up work. Earlier this year I was told about Margie and her work with people suffering from Trauma and the great results they have after working with her using TRTP. Well I can honestly say that I have done the TRPT therapeutic work with Margie which is over 3 weeks  and it is very intense but so worthwhile, I can’t recommend it highly enough. My life has turned around for me, I am back working, my Anxiety and Depression has gone, I feel like a different person, my children and other family members have also seen the difference in me. I can’t recommend the work Margie has done with me enough. Thank you Margie.

Seeing Margie has given me so much clarity and a whole new outlook on my life. She has gently helped me confront my past traumas, releasing me from the pain it was causing me. She has helped me gain a whole new confidence I’ve never had before and helped me find my voice. She has a radiant warmth to her, is so comfortable to be around and to talk to. She is a true blessing.

Thank you so much Margie. I don’t know if it’s just a good day thing. I feel different – in a good way. I’m unable to put words to it. I just feel something like peace. Never felt it before.

As a professional person suffering acute anxiety, I was highly sceptical of anything to do with trauma and hypnosis.Margie was recommended by a friend who had a remarkable outcome from years of depression. I’m so glad I did.  Anxiety is now a distant memory and I honestly feel I can face anything life throws at me.TRTP is an experience unlike any other. I highly recommend you seek out Margie Bauer.

I had the pleasure of working with Margie doing the 3 week TRTP PTSD work. If you are looking for a mental health professional who has profound insight, empathy, compassion and gets results, you'll be in superb and gentle hands with Margie.  What struck me the most, was how much this lady gives of herself. Remarkable. 5 stars!

Rachael D, Brisbane

From starting the TRTP process I started to feel a sense of calm and wellbeing I didn't previously have.  It is difficult to describe the change but I have been much more motivated to do life and there is a shift right to the core of my sense of self-worth and value. 

Bec. Adelaide

I honestly can't thank you enough for taking me through this process, and the way that you did it - despite feeling so vulnerable and scared, I knew at all times that I was in safe hands, and could trust you and the process completely.

TRTP is not for the “faint of heart”, which I certainly was, but that is why it was so beneficial for me – it is not easy, but the process and results are amazing.

Margie, so generously and so patiently, walked me through the TRTP process, catered specifically to my needs (this is not routine couch therapy), and I will be forever grateful. I would recommend this treatment, and Margie especially, to anyone who is strugglingly and is seeking a proven and practical and way to improve their lives.

“Start saying yes!"

That was my motto only one year ago when I didn’t know what else to do. 

Life was throwing lemons at me fast and furious.  I was in pain. A sour taste burning in the back of my throat for far too long. It started getting hard to get up in the morning… In ‘therapy talk’ I was in complex trauma. Over the past few years in particular this included a death of the father of my children, a son who was in the scourge of addiction, a daughter with a mental illness. And underneath the surface  of all these struggles I was carrying my own childhood trauma that had deeply affected the man I was supposed to marry. I had made a promise to him I found I could no longer keep. Sabotage, regrets and turning to food was a common life long formula that had always used to work but not now! October 2019 was a time of deep pain. I moved out from my fiance’ my children were in crisis. I moved back into my ‘marital home of my deceased ex-husband.’ That was hard. Around this time I received an A4 piece of paper that had Margie Bauer’s details and a nudge to follow this invitation.  I booked to go to Brisbane from Sydney to attend Margi’s ‘Emotional Maturity’ weekend workshop. My intuition just said, ‘go!’ 

 Very soon, I found myself in the presence of one kind, compassionate woman with a soul purpose to help me ‘embrace my imperfection.’ I had arrived in the right place.  Margie Bauer opened up a new chapter. I just did what I was supported to do! I was fortunate that after the workshop I was able to enter into one to one counselling with Margie. Her support, feedback and encouragement helped me to start to make the necessary connections that gave me the courage to change. Trust and know how to navigate my relationships with my adult children and start to build intimacy with myself. In a nutshell, the homework gave me the opportunity to write down aspects of my relationships that were essential for me to unpack. I described the disturbances, unrealistic expectations and uncovered the unmet needs in myself. Initially, my conversations with Margie were about my closest relationships in my life, soon after they were looking closer at my part in the relationship and the pain and trauma that had been swept under the carpet for a very long, long time. Thank God more was revealed to me. Before I left Queensland, I was introduced to Margie’s ‘Intervention for addiction manual’, as she knew I had a son that was in serious trouble, ‘ice addiction.’  Soon after my return, I read it from cover to cover.  I followed exactly what it said. ‘Word for word.’ After four intervention attempts, the miracle wrapped in ‘shit’ started to unfold with a positive outcome. My son was arrested, put in remand and eventually 45 days later got bail to a bed in a a public rehab, one week before lockdown COVID-19. Nothing was going to stop him. He was a train wreck.  I believe whole heartedly my son’s life was saved. The afterburn from this event was tumultuous and the grief from ending my relationship with my finance was starting to kick in big time. My childhood trauma was resurfacing. I found myself wanting to change everything around me, except me.

It was about this time, Margie suggested some trauma recovery work. This was carried out over the phone and using zoom. It was hard to imagine that such a straightforward model to clean up my pain in one full sweep could work. The feeling of trauma and finding conflict had become familiar to me. And physically I had carried the trauma in my shoulders and in my gut for years. Five sessions, using the TRTP model was suggested. Margie insisted I would really need to ‘want’ to do this work. Margie listened to the work she had set out for me to do prior to each session. I did it. My internal compass had been broken for a long time.  I was out of my depths out at sea, in my darkest storm without a light house. The TRTP model carried out by Margie Bauer switched on a bright light in me. I am a woman of 58 years of age, my son is 26.. Twelve months later, my son is 6 months sober and clean. And my long term relationship is still broken. I want to remain hopeful, but I am trying to trust the process of time and not push for answers of reconciliation. I am moving forward regardless.  I am taking this pain as an opportunity to stop sabotaging my purpose on this planet. I have a duty to shine and make lemonade out of my lemons.

 Today, I am looking within and saying, ‘yes!’ Thank you Margie Bauer.
