Being Frank...

Sometimes you meet someone who ends up changing the course of your life. Someone who helps you see things that were always there, but hidden in fog until that moment.

Harry

For me, that person was Harry. A psychotherapist in Amsterdam who crossed my path in 2019. Harry wasn't the first therapist I had spoken to. There were others before him, but those conversations never really went beneath the surface. Maybe because I wasn't truly impressed by the people sitting across from me.

Harry was different. Even before meeting him, I could feel it. His website already said he had no time for new clients. But through a bit of luck, and a few close connections, I somehow managed to land in the chair across from him in early 2020.

Signs of what?!

I told Harry about a pattern I'd noticed, especially in my relationships. He told me I showed signs of codependency. A word I had never heard before. But when he explained what it meant, it was like holding up a mirror.

I realised I was a people pleaser: as long as everyone else was happy, I was fine. I never asked for help; I didn't want to bother anyone with my needs. I was available for everyone, all the time. Over the years, I'd developed a razor-sharp radar for reading the moods of others.

The only problem was that nobody ever really saw me. They saw the version I performed — the one who always stayed calm, polite, agreeable. But the truth? Deep down there was anger. Sadness. Frustration. I just kept it all to myself.

Tracing it back

Harry helped me see that these patterns weren't permanent. If I could trace them back to their origin, I could understand them — and release them. That's how I started exploring my subconscious. Through hypnosis, I found my way back to where my codependency began: my early childhood.

I learned to reprogram my nervous system. To resist that old reflex of disappearing whenever things felt unsafe. And daring to say no when something in me clearly felt like a no. That changed everything. And because it worked so profoundly for me, I wanted to help others do the same.

When the world stood still

Then Covid hit. When lockdowns dominated our daily life, I decided to use that time well by studying hypnotherapy myself. In 2021, I completed my training with Marisa Peer (RTT) and opened my own practice. Since then, I've helped many people uncover the real origins of the patterns that keep them stuck.

The Unlimited Me

Over time, I began to notice something deeper. Whether it's stress, addiction, insomnia, fear, relationship struggles, or childhood conditioning, the real work always starts the same way: by questioning your own beliefs. Are they still true for who you are today?

That's what inspired me to create The Unlimited Me. I started with sleep, because that's where so many patterns show up most clearly. When your mind won't switch off at night, it's not a thinking problem — it's your nervous system asking: "Is it safe to let go?"

I'm not here as someone who has it all figured out, but as a fellow human who learns, fails, and grows every day. My curiosity, and the willingness to ask better — or at least different — questions, keeps leading to new insights. And that's where real growth begins.

My deepest wish?
To be that "Harry" for many others.

About Frank

I'm Frank Baan — RTT practitioner, creator of The Unlimited Me, and the voice behind a growing library of sleep content that helps thousands wind down at night.

For years I've helped clients rewire the subconscious patterns that kept them stuck — not through willpower, but through direct nervous system work. The same sleep and stress issues kept showing up, and they almost never had a physical cause.

I work with professionals who think deeply, perform at a high level, and can't understand why their body won't let them rest.

My approach isn't about tips or tricks. It's about finding the root pattern that taught your nervous system to stay on alert — and rewiring it at the source. Using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), most clients experience a shift within 1 to 3 sessions.

No fluff. No woo-woo. Just clear guidance that treats you like the intelligent person you are.
