How BWRT is changing lives
BWRT stand for Brain Working Recursive Therapy. First discovered in 2011 by world famous psychotherapist Terence Watts, it was taught for the first time in October 2013. I am often skeptical of new therapies that seem to be ‘the next best thing’ but because I knew this had been developed by Terence Watts, whom I have a lot of respect for, I have kept an eye on it’s developments over the years.
I feel privileged to have had my original Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy training by Terence 22 years ago and I know that his knowledge and understanding of the mind is untouched by any other therapist that I have ever met in the therapy world. Still, it is very new as far therapeutic interventions were concerned so I held back until a couple of years ago.
Being governed by the Association For Professional Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, we are required to undertake a number of continued Professional Development hours every year. It was during the 2020 covid outbreak and lockdown, where we were unable to see clients face to face for many months, that I decided, because I had heard so many positive stories regarding BWRT, to enrol myself on the BWRT course. I haven’t looked back since.
So what Is BWRT? BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® is a neuroscience-based process that has been shown to be useful to help reduce or alleviate the symptoms, and causes of symptoms, associated with Anxiety, Phobias, PTSD, Depression, Low confidence, Low self-esteem, and many other psychological issues. It works in a unique way to ‘defuse’ the psychological triggers of the symptom pattern before they reach the part of the brain that activates the emotional responses. In this way the symptom is either alleviated or greatly reduced in severity. BWRT® mimics the way the brain and psyche acquire the difficulty in the first place and is therefore a totally natural process. The work does not require you to divulge any intimate details of your personal life or of any event that you wish to keep private that might have been the cause of your symptom. While there is not a therapy in the world that works for everybody every time, BWRT® is considered by many to be among the most reliable of psychological methodologies.
Since introducing BWRT to my practice I have seen a bigger success rate than even hypnotherapy. Clients need less sessions and the change seems to be permanent.
A recent client had contacted me for BWRT for claustrophobia and was unable to sit in a dentist chair or even have her eye lashes put in because she just couldn’t bare the thought of feeling trapped. After one session she returned the next week, over the moon, because she had visited her dentist and had a tooth removed! After her second session she returned, with a big smile on her face, batting her new eye lashes. “Look!” She said “an hour and a half I layed there for these to be done”. She reported she didn’t have any overwhelming anxiety and we both agreed that would be her last session.
Another recent client contacted me for BWRT for anger. He reported that ever since he could remember he felt a constant underlying agitation and had severe anger outbursts. After one session the agitation had subsided and after three the outbursts had stopped. He was so happy to be free and able to live and enjoy his best life. These are just a couple of recent clients. I have successfully used BWRT for Addiction and used BWRT for phobias and BWRT for anxiety. The list goes on. BWRT is truly life changing.
