Transcript

Welcome back…. Today’s episode, “The Weight We Carry,” is going to touch your heart in ways you may not expect. My guest, Rebecca Archuletta, is a Rapid Transformational Therapist and Dietless Life Coach who knows what it means to rebuild from the ashes. After losing all seven of her immediate family members — including three brothers to suicide — and being laid off from a 17-year corporate career, Rebecca found herself at rock bottom. But instead of giving up, she found her way back to life. Through the power of Rapid Transformational Therapy, hypnosis, and deep belief reprogramming, she transformed her pain into purpose — helping others release emotional weight, grief, and self-sabotage to finally feel worthy, enough, and free. In this conversation, we’ll explore the hidden emotional weight so many of us carry — the kind that diets and “positive thinking” can’t touch — and how true healing begins when we start to see ourselves as lovable and whole again. So, take a breath… settle in… and join us as Rebecca shares her journey of loss, awakening, and the powerful work she now brings to others. Because the weight we carry isn’t just on our bodies — it’s in our hearts, our memories, and our stories. 

And today, we begin to lay some of it down. So welcome in Rebecca...

Speaker Dar: 

Rebecca, welcome, Rebecca. I'm so excited to have you with me today and our topic is the weight we carry. How phenomenal Could you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got to this point? 

Speaker Rebecca: 

Darla, good morning, Darla, thank you so much for this invitation to sit with you. Yes, I am so excited to be here. My name is Rebecca Archuleta and I created my business. It's “because you matter healing" by Rebecca, a rapid, transformational therapist using hypnosis to get to the root cause of people's issues. So I was a traditional counselor back in the day. I have a psychology degree, and I worked with kids and teenagers, and all of them were very successful. They graduated out of my program. But there were a couple of them I just questioned; do I really get to the root cause of their issues? And now I know I didn't, because the only way to truly get to the root cause of the traumas and the deep-rooted issues is through hypnosis. Our subconscious mind is a catalog of everything that happens to us from the moment we are conceived to the moment we pass away. So using hypnosis, I have this amazing technique. It's called Rapid transformational therapy by Marissa Peer, we actually go in together, the client and myself, and we go into three specific time frames that actually have locked in where this issue started in their lives. So for example, anxiety. And we go through there, we figure out what it was about these particular incidents, and we clear out the limiting beliefs, the untruths, and then we instill empowering beliefs and truths and actions and mantras and all that kind of good stuff. And at the end of the two-hour session with me, I create a personalized audio for them to listen to for 21 consecutive nights while they're sleeping. The reason we have them do that is because your subconscious mind is brilliant, and it creates new neural pathways in your brain when you're sleeping. So that's when it locks in and dials in all of the upgraded beliefs and new thought processes, so then they have that personalized audio for a lifetime. 

Speaker Dar: 

Wow, that is powerful, powerful work, and tell us a little bit more about the different limiting beliefs that you work with 

Speaker Rebecca: 

absolutely so I would say over 90% of my clients, no matter why they come to me, the underlying issues are, I'm not enough, I'm not worthy, I'm not lovable, I don't matter. And life's opportunities are not available to me. And so no matter how they come to me for whatever the issue is, those are the underlying beliefs, I'm not enough, I'm not worthy, I'm not lovable, I don't matter, and it's not available to me. So those are at the core of the issues for everybody that walks in my door, and they're usually start from the ages of when we're born to the ages of seven, and when it gets locked in at those ages, we grow up as adults having the mentality and coping skills of the age that the trauma happened. So for example, you know, seven years old, if something happened to somebody at seven, and they weren't able to identify that and do the work and get through that, you know, face those shadows, and get through that upgrading that actually stays with them. So even though they're an adult person, they still have the coping skills of a child. Wow. 

Speaker Dar 

That is really something to wrap your head around 90% Yes. So tell us you mentioned coming through your door, but I'm also aware that you work with distant clients, so tell us a little bit more about the process 

Speaker Rebecca: 

Absolutely, so I actually can meet clients on Zoom. In fact, I have clients around the world, Abu Dhabi, Mexico, Canada, New Zealand, England. And I also have an office space in Fort Collins, Colorado, so it's just as powerful, whether it's in person or online. And the process for me is I have an introduction with the person first, make sure we're both a good fit for each other, and then when they agree to. To invest in their healing journey with me, then we actually schedule a two hour session, and I give them ahead of time before the session, specific questions that actually guide me through the process of what they their limiting beliefs are their history, their triggers, and the best part is, what do they imagine their life to be like without the problem, without the anxiety and sky's the limit. So I asked them, tell me, walk me through. What is your day like without this problem? How do you wake up, refreshed, energized? What kind of a healthy, nutritious breakfast do you eat? What kind of exercise do you do? What is your day like? What is your mental, emotional thought process? You start the day in gratitude, and they walk me through all of that in their key things in their life, if they have, you know, animals, pets, personal, significant others, children, that kind of thing. And then their closing part of the day, and so I walk them through that, and that's part of their recording, in addition to that, whatever comes out in the session, then I add that to that recording, so that way they are left with very specific, clear, guided, powerful, upgraded beliefs that are going to be created as new neural pathways in their brain, as a takeaway, and as they're sleeping, the key thing is, you know, they do their normal bedtime routine, crawl into bed, put my audio on, you know, with ear buds, ideally, and then they just fall asleep to it like, literally, they should be sleeping while they're listening to it, because that's when the subconscious Mind is at its max, it never goes to sleep. But the beautiful part is the conscious brain is sleeping. That's the judgmental brain that we want to be sleeping. So that way it upgrades that system faster. The new neuro pathways are created faster and more efficiently. And so I've had clients see immediate results the next day. And those are the, you know, the ones that are so blessed and gifted, right? It's immediate. Others, it takes, you know, a while. So it could be immediate, it could be a cumulative or could be a retroactive change, regardless, they all experience change throughout the process. 

Speaker Dar: 

It is so exciting to hear about so much transformation taking place. Could you share with us, keeping client confidentiality, of course. Could you share with us a couple testimonials or case studies? 

Speaker Rebecca 

Absolutely so. One that really sticks out is a woman who had been married for 30 plus years to her husband, and you know, it's later in life, and she had normally been really easygoing, keeping a nice, cute, trim figure her whole life. But then menopause happened, and she started to put weight on, and she noticed that her husband wasn't as doting on her, not appreciating her, you know, astronaut for dates and that kind of thing. And he was, you know, looking at younger people, like younger women going on, like the dating apps and that kind of thing. And so she was just self-sabotaging in a lot of ways. And so my diet list is a Life Program, which is an eight-week program. We do a deep dive hypnosis first to find out, why do they have this excess weight? Why are they doing the yo-yo dieting, where they're able to release the weight and get into the shape they want, but then they pack on the weight again, or actually pack on more weight. And in this particular case, we went in through deep hypnosis, and it turns out that she was self-sabotaging because she was trying to release the weight for a husband, but then he was looking at younger women and that kind of thing. And so we shifted it. So now when she went in to release the weight, it was for her health and wellness. So she was focused 100% on, what did she want to do for her health and wellness, improve her body, for her own health and energy, for her life, and for her grandkids, and for her job, she was still working, and she shifted it completely, and it was the first time she did that. The other thing that we figured out too, was she was self-sabotaging the weight release because she had family members that were very judgmental, you know, and critical of, oh, you've lost this weight, and so now you're so beautiful, and now you know you're no fun. You don't want to go out for beer and pizza with us, or why are you getting all the attention from the men, and so she would lose family members, she would lose friends, even at work, people looked at her and treated her differently when she released the weight and looked amazing. And so she kind of took that in eternally, and it was uncomfortable with that new body and that new beliefs, right with all these people and how they reacted to her. So then. With hypnosis, that was a different kind of a shift. We took care of the weight release part of it, where she's going to be focusing on her own health and wellness, to release the weight and keep it off, and to keep herself protected. Because unfortunately, a lot of cases with a you dieting, there's been sexual abuse, sexual trauma that we don't take care of, you know, and our brain needs to know, hey, hey, you're an adult, you're taking care of you're keeping yourself safe. You're making really good choices for yourself, and I don't need to protect you anymore with this excess weight, with this in relation, and treat them after releasing the weight, then we focus on that, and all of it is again, within themselves internally. You know, they are their own best friends. They are their own cheerleaders. They are their own best relationship with themself. And so they get so strong and grounded within themselves, though they're not looking externally for any validation or external support or external anything, because through this eight-week program, we build all of that with them internally, and then they also have eight hypnosis sessions that's pertaining just to them and their specific issue or struggle. You know, some of them, they really are addicted to sugar. So we attack, you know, why are you addicted to sugar? And then we remove that. And there's a hypnosis for that, or maybe it's carbs or what have you. Everybody's got a vice of some sort, right? And so we address those specifically, individually for that person, and then they have a takeaway, personalized audio hypnosis for a lifetime. So as they're going through the eight-week program, as they're releasing the weight, they're having specific audios just for them individually. And then at the end of the eight weeks, they have a whole catalog of their own healing journey for a lifetime, and it's theirs to do what they want with it. It's theirs forever. And during that process, they have access to me through WhatsApp, through Facebook, through texting, phone calls, that kind of thing we do. We meet once a week for an hour, and they have course information, you know, we talk about, and we do touch base with, you know, food. We do a lot of food swaps. We do a lot of complimentary food. So, for example, our body never needs sugar. So if we want something sweet, we can have a nice, fresh piece of fruit, and we couple it with a healthy fat. So we always have, for instance, you know, we could have apples with almond butter or peanut butter. So having that healthy fat with it, it actually neutralizes it, so we don't spike our insulin. So then your body is not just storing it for fat. We also do hypnosis for gastric bypass, so their stomach is shrinking so they don't need to eat as much and they're as satisfied. We focus on the language we use; we definitely start with; I want to release the weight. I want to shed the weight. I want to let the weight go. We never say lose weight, because our brain says, you know, when we lose something, we want to find it. And so your brain thinks you lose the weight, you want to find that weight again, so we stop that immediately. So now we change our language saying we are releasing the weight, we are shedding the weight, we are cutting down all those different things. So we completely change our language to ourselves immediately. And then how do we look about loving our bodies just the way it is? Because it's lived with us our entire life. It's carried us through our lifetime, and so we treat it with gratitude and grace and appreciation for what it is. You know, when we eat a meal, we have them, you know, make a fist because our stomach is the size of our fist, and so we know to stop eating at that time, and it's waste whether we eat beyond that size a portion in our bodies, or if we throw in the trash or put it in the fridge for leftovers, our body's stomach can only fit so much food. And if there's excess in our body, then it's stored excess weight, it's like garbage in our body. And that's when you, you know, get the bulges here and the bulges there. We have this, like, funky shape in our body, because your body's number one job is to protect us. So it's removing it from the organs, the vital organs, and it plops it anywhere in our body. So we have funky shapes happening. We need to really check ourselves and say, whoa, my body is trying to protect myself. I've got excess weight. It's keeping it away from the organs, and now I've got this, like, oompa loompa body, and so we need to, like, really pay attention to what's going on internally and remedy that, right? And so another hypnosis that's so powerful is boosting our metabolism. So before we eat, we say, you know, my body's a fat burning machine. My metabolism is maxed out. Out. My resting metabolism is maxed out. Everything I eat is metabolized, and anything excess is released easily and effortlessly out of the body naturally. And so we speak a lot to the body and the mind and the body, mind, heart coherence, because we put a lot in alignment within the person and give them back their power, have them step into their future self. And we do a lot of visualizations about looking in the mirror, about what you want to see, your ideal shape, what do you look like? What do you feel like? What do people say when you're walking into the store buying a new outfit, or perhaps you're in the grocery store and then you're choosing healthy, nutritious food. Or we test it out and say, you know you're going with family to dinner at a restaurant. What are you choosing to eat? You know you're forgoing the bread; you're foregoing the desserts. And not that anything is ever limited. It's just you are choosing to treat your body with love and respect. So if you really wanted to taste, you know, say, a creme brulee, you would have one bite of that creme brulee and really savor the taste and the flavor and the texture of it and be satisfied with one bite. And then you let it go, you give it to somebody else, or you share it with somebody, or you take it home for leftovers for yourself or somebody else. And so it's really about learning how to have a healthy relationship with our bodies, our mind and food. 

Speaker Dar: 

Wow, you have really given us. Let's do a little play on words here, food for thought in multiple areas. What a robust program. This is terrific. Rebecca, wow. 

Speaker Rebecca: 

Thank you. It's so amazing. It is! 

Speaker Dar 

so our topic, the weight we carry. I just want to take a moment to say that Rebecca's been talking about the emotional side, not just the physical weight we carry, but also the emotional weight that we carry. Would you like to expand on that just a little bit more for our audience? 

Speaker Rebecca 

Absolutely, the emotional weight we carry. So our brain's number one job is to protect us, like I mentioned earlier, and part of that is adding weight to us, like insulation as protection, like a shield from the world. And so things that happen that put on weight, and we keep it on, even when we're trying to lose it and it comes back, is sexual trauma. Sexual abuse is a big one. Grief is huge. So even in my own personal story, my personal story is I am the youngest of four in a family, and my three older brothers were really struggling. They were struggling with being laid off from work. They weren't in a healthy relationship. They had no purpose, and they all completed suicide. So my three older brothers left the world of their own doing. And again, it was I'm not enough, I'm not worthy, I'm not lovable. They didn't have a purpose, and unfortunately, they didn't have the tools that I have. So for me, I have done the deep dive, I've done the shadow work, and I've done the healing, especially with addiction. So the emotional part with being brought up in an addiction, you know, emotional family like that, where you don't have a safe space, you don't have an outlet for love and attention and guidance, then we kind of look to ourselves and as children when we have caregivers that, you know, belittle us or criticize us and not to be judgmental or blaming anybody, because those generations didn't have it either, and the ones before that didn't have it. So there's no blame there. It's just the facts of it. So we have to reparent ourselves, right? And so as children, instead of cutting off our emotions and our relationship with our parents, we cut off our love and emotion for ourselves. So we don't love ourselves, so we attack ourselves in our body. So that comes into play with weight, especially so when you're grieving, you're buying your mind's job is to protect you. So when you've lost loved ones, when you've lost people in your life, you've lost jobs, you've lost careers, your brain says that's too much loss. You're not going to lose anything else. So it, in a sense, sabotages you from releasing the weight and losing the weight, because it's saying lose the weight. Well, we're not going to do that. We've already lost jobs, we've lost family members, we have lost loved ones, we've lost all the different things. So you're. The brain needs to be upgraded to let it know, brain, I get this. I love you. I understand that you're protecting me. It's okay now I can release the weight because I'm doing the work to heal my mind and my heart from the deaths in the family, from the job loss, from the friendship loss, from whatever it was. We tell our mind and our brain to say, Hey, it's okay to release this weight because we've got it. We are making healthy decisions for ourselves. We are protecting ourselves. We are keeping ourselves safe. We are being healthy in what we eat, in mind, body and spirit. We are protective of what we listen to in the world, what we're watching in the world, and we, as long as the brain knows that we're taking care of it, then it's helping you. It will help you release the weight and then keep it off. And the beautiful part is, as you go through the program, like I mentioned, you have those personalized hypnosis audios to listen to again. So if something happens in life, which it does, we get triggered for something, then we just go back in and re listen to an audio, and it'll help us drift off to sleep easily and effortlessly, and then focus on whatever that particular theme was for that that hypnosis audio for that person. 

Speaker Dar 

Oh, thank you very thorough and such a robust program. Would you talk about some of the other things that you have available for our listeners where they can get a hold of you, some of the things you do besides the robust program and maybe something that you have for them as a free gift.

Speaker Rebecca 

absolutely so I have a free sleep hypnosis gift to all of your listeners, and all this will be in the show notes. My website is “because you matter healing by rebecca.com” and you can see me online. There you can learn more about rapid transformational therapy. You can see more testimonials from my past clients and learn more about me in general. I'm also on Tiktok as Rebecca Archuleta, and then Instagram is because you matter healing, and then Facebook as well, because you're mad or healing by Rebecca. And then they can also call me directly. My office number is 970-682-4042, and they can just get a hold of me there with a text or a call, and we could set up a time to learn about each other and how I can help them. 

Speaker Dar 

Wow, so generous that that is really, really lovely. Before we wrap up, could you give the audience just one more tidbit like one more food for thought that might be coming into your mind right now, 

Speaker Rebecca 

I would say the number one thing for any healing journey, for any of us, regardless of what the issue is, is to really pay attention to how we speak to ourselves, because that is the most important sound we'll ever hear is our own voice, and our subconscious mind is always listening. It's cataloging everything that happens to us, especially with what we say and do to ourselves. So the one takeaway I would give for everybody is always be mindful of how we treat ourselves and how we talk to ourselves. So, you know, be positive. Say, I am enough, I am worthy, I am lovable, I am safe, and I'm deserving of all that life has to offer. 

Speaker Dar 

Thank you for being with us to call it in, and we're gonna call in some positive self-talk, everyone. Thank you. Rebecca, big Virtual hugs your way. Thank you for being with us today.
