What is BWRT?

What does BWRT stand for?  BWRT is Brain Working Recursive Therapy.

It is a brand new therapy that is unlike any other and can help effect permanent change in a very short period of time. It was created in 2011 by Terrence Watts a therapist, author and trainer who is also the principal of the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis. After being inspired by the studies of Virtual Nobel Prize Winner: Benjamin Libet, Terrence started to develop this new form of therapy and it is now spreading across the world.

It differs from many other types of therapy, not just in the way that it can help you in one or two sessions, but also in because it can be undertaken content free. What this means to you is that if you have a problem that you would feel uncomfortable or unable to talk about then you do not need to. Instead of spending many session talking about it you can use the BWRT technique to help you deal with the problem and simply change the way that you think about it.  

BWRT is not Hypnosis

It does not use hypnosis or hypnotherapy. It is completely logical, practical and down to earth. It is a completely new form of therapy that is showing remarkable results for those who have undertaken it. You can even have BWRT sessions on Skype from the comfort of your own home.

The BWRT technique can only be practiced by certified practitioners, who have been trained by Terrence Watts himself. In order to undertake the training one must already be a professional therapist, psychotherapist, psychologist, counsellor or medical practitioner.

As described on the official BWRT site itself...

BWRT® is an immensely powerful style of working that can dissolve problems almost instantaneously.

There is no other therapy in the world that is the same as BWRT®.

Certified BWRT® Practitioners receive thorough training in this modern methodology and are completely conversant with the techniques needed to work effectively with a great number of human problems and difficulties

Such as:

Weight management   Unwanted Habits   Relationship problems   Stress and anxiety   Social phobia   Fears   Generalised anxiety disorder (G.A.D.)   PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder)   Depression

As more practitioners are trained in this new form of therapy, expect to see, hear and read more about it, when the benefits become more and more well known.

As well as being trained in this amazing new technique myself by Terence Watts you can also watch my own interview with him below where I ask more questions to give you a really good idea about how BWRT can help you...

 

 

 

I was trained in BWRT by Terence himself and so I am qualified as a certified BWRT Practitioner. If you are wondering if BWRT may be the right therapy to help you then please do get in touch to ask me any questions that you may have. 

There are currently only a few hundred trained practitioners of BWRT worldwide. As a newly created technique I am pleased to be able to offer this as part of the help that I provide for people. Some practitioners may not have the same training and experience in other methods that can also help such as EMDR, EFT, NLP or Hypnosis. For this reason I would never decide the best way to help you until we had started working together. What this means is that all the letters and acronyms are really irrelevant to you. The only important thing to know is that I have a wide variety of methods to use which means that we can work together to give you exactly the help that you need.

How on earth does BWRT work...?

From the beginning... For a start off, we work with a different part of the brain from that which any other therapy does; where many neuroscience-based therapies boast of how they work directly with the amygdala and the limbic system, BWRT® works with a part of the brain that 'fires up' long before the limbic system even gets started. In fact, by the time the limbic system is involved, the physical body has already started to react, already commenced whatever action or psychological process that past experience has indicated is needed... even if that experience is out of date and no longer relevant. It's a kind of 'blind obedience'.

The name of that part of the brain depends on whether you are following the biological model or the evolutionary model - we use the latter in the Level 1 training since it makes it much easier to understand the how and why of what we do. In the biological model, it's usually referred to as the 'hind brain' though it's sometimes called the 'lizard brain' or the 'reptilian brain' - in the evolutionary model (the 'Triune Brain' devised by Paul D Maclean in the 19060s) we refer to it as the 'reptilian complex'. It's the oldest brain structure we have and it dates back some 650 million years to the first sentient creatures that walked the planet, our earliest ancestors. Anatomically, it's the 'brain stem' and includes the primitive part of the limbic system.

The Evolutionary Brain Model No matter how it's referred to in any one model, the important thing is that it was the only brain those early ancestors had... it had to do everything. Every impulse from the world and from the physical body was processed by that early brain before it progressed anywhere else. And here's the thing: nothing's changed, because once evolution has created a fundamental process it's there for good. So although our brain is greatly evolved from those earliest ancestors of ours, every bit of information is still processed by that reptilian complex before it goes anywhere else. The important thing about all this is that when a pattern of impulses is recognised, it will start the body responding in the same way as it has before, since that response led to survival and must therefore be safe... but we're not aware of this at that point. In fact, we don't become aware of it until that impulse has covered up to fifty meters of neural network into the part of the brain where awareness resides. By then, everything is in full flight!

BWRT® does its work in that 'cognitive gap' between an action starting and conscious recognition of that action. We actually work directly with that reptilian complex, to change the response to patterns of input. And we do this by using the same automatic processes by which it learns the patterns it responds to in the first place - but we get it to wait for further information instead of responding immediately. All we have to do then is ensure that the new information is instantaneously preferable and therefore instantaneously accepted.

How can I help my child to stop wetting the bed?

 

Most bedwetting problems are not due to diabetes or urinary infections, or even constipation. Instead, children wet the bed simply because they have not yet learned how to stay dry. Of course you should always check with your doctor and make sure your child has no other problems first, but once you have seen that all is ok medically there is something that you can do to help them learn to stop wetting the bed.

It’s like riding a bicycle; it takes effort at first, but then it’s automatic. For children who learned to ride a two-wheeler and threw away their stabilisers already, knowing that because they could master that one difficult new skill often helps them feel confident and understand that they can also learn to stay dry at night with relative ease.

 Medications or Hypnotherapy?

 

It is possible to take pills that treat bedwetting, but don’t cure it; as soon as you stop taking them, the wetting resumes. They can also be pricey and very rarely, they could cause seizures, so you have to be very careful to avoid overdosing. Clearly for most parents they would not be a good choice.

Instead using the skills they already have in their own imaginations, children can learn to stay dry on their own. Once you do it, you have that skill for life.

 So what children can learn is to pay attention to their bladders, even when they are soundly sleeping.

Part of the brain stays awake, checking in with the bladder from time to time. If the bladder reports that it needs to be emptied because it is full then it can wake them up like a night-watchman send them to the bathroom and then back to sleep to have a sound and dry night. 

That idea of having someone watch over them works very well because of course children have wonderful imaginations and use them all the time. If you have ever watched your child playing and being caught up in their own little world you will know how easily they can do that.

By helping your child into a state of relaxation we can help this idea sink into their subconscious so that they wake up if they need to without even realising how it has happened.

Another way to show your support

Bear in mind  that as a parent is is wonderful to be supportive and also not to pressure your child. They will stop bedwetting when it is right for them. They can grow in their own time and way and when you take away the pressure and give them support you can find they can surprise you how easily they can deal with the problem.

Most children with this problem would only really need to see me two or three times and once they have the skills they can already start to look forward to dry nights and all the benefits this can bring, such as sleepovers with their friends without worry!
