BWRT has in the last few years become my preferred therapy for clients, after 24 years in practice, due to it’s outstanding results. During the first lockdown during 2020 I had more time on my hands due to us not being able to see clients face to face. So, what better way use that time than studying a new skill. As a professional therapist with membership of the APHP (The Association For Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy) where we are bound by a code of ethics including continued professional development. I had been hearing some wonderful reports about BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy) from other therapists, and great successful outcomes. So I did some further research. The more I read about it the more intrigued I became. It was also a complete therapy that seems to work just as effectively online. Perfect for that particular time, as online therapy was certainly the direction to go in for the time being.
So, after some in depth training in BWRT by Terence Watts, who is the creator of BWRT, I was ready to start applying it to my practice. By the time I had studied, and became a fully qualified BWRT practitioner, it was 2021 and lockdown restrictions had been lifted. I proceeded to use it in practice with some amazing results. This is when I bumped into Debbie. This was a lady who lived in the same village as me, Hullbridge in Essex. I had seen on the BBC news that her and her partner Mark had been involved in a terrible boating accident after setting off from Hullbridge on a boating trip to Gibralter and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. After setting off from Devon there was an unexpected squall – massive waves and strong winds as their engine lost power. The boat was smashed to pieces and the cockpit filled with water. After a very traumatic time, they were luckily eventually pulled to safety by Salcombe RNLI. Not only had they lost their boat but also their home. It wasn’t until she attended a hospital appointment a few days later that it was revealed that she had suffered a minor heart attack.
This horrific trauma had left Debbie with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and she understandably had great difficulty sleeping couldn’t even put herself under the water in the shower, let alone go swimming. When I met Debbie in a local shop it was obvious that she was suffering and, after a brief discussion, I offered her a BWRT session for the very next day. During that session I was able to use BWRT to relieve her off her anxiety and panic from this incident, hence she was able to sleep again. This resulted from just one session. I saw her for two sessions in total and she was soon back swimming again.
Four years later Deb is still able to go into the water and is still sleeping at night. This is also a good representation of the lasting effects of BWRT and proof that it isn’t just a quick fix and stands the test of time.
Ever since, BWRT has been my go-to therapy for most of my clients. It has transformed my practice and it never fails to amaze me with the outstanding results that this therapy brings for my client’s symptoms. Whether I am working with trauma, addiction, habit breaking, weight loss, confidence building or motivation I find that BWRT is the key to success and recovery.
