ABOUT BWRT – Brain Working Recursive Therapy

  • BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy) is an innovative therapeutic approach created by Terence Watts in 2011. It works directly with how your brain processes information and creates automatic responses to situations. BWRT can create permanent change in a very short period of time by targeting the root neural patterns behind unwanted responses, feelings, or behaviors.

  • BWRT works by accessing the gap between when your brain begins to respond to a trigger (about half a second before you become conscious of it) and when you become aware of your response. By intervening in this gap, we can change automatic reactions at their source.

    The process involves:

    1. Identifying the unwanted response pattern

    2. Accessing the brain state where this pattern originates

    3. Creating a new, preferred response pattern

    4. Implementing this new pattern where the old one used to be

    The result is often immediate and permanent change without requiring weeks or months of therapy.

  • BWRT is effective for a wide range of concerns, including:

    • Phobias and irrational fears

    • Anxiety and panic disorders

    • PTSD and trauma responses

    • Confidence and self-esteem issues

    • Unwanted habits and addictions

    • Performance anxiety

    • Weight management challenges

    • Relationship patterns

    • Stress management

    • Grief and loss processing

  • BWRT differs from many traditional therapies in several key ways:

    • It's typically much faster, often requiring just 1-3 sessions

    • You don't need to discuss detailed personal information if you prefer not to

    • It doesn't require you to relive traumatic experiences

    • It focuses on creating new neural pathways rather than just managing symptoms

    • Results are usually permanent without requiring maintenance or practice

    • It works with your brain's natural processes rather than trying to override them

  • Yes, BWRT is based on neuroscience research, particularly the experiments of Benjamin Libet that demonstrated the existence of a "cognitive gap" between unconscious responses and conscious awareness. The therapy utilizes this scientific understanding to create lasting change.

ABOUT TRET – Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy

  • Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET) is a comprehensive healing approach that integrates mind, body, and energy systems to address trauma and emotional blocks. TRET taps into your natural healing mechanisms to release emotional wounds, triggers, and negative beliefs that may be holding you back.

  • TRET works through several interconnected mechanisms:

    1. It addresses both cognitive (mind) and somatic (body) aspects of trauma

    2. It utilizes energy psychology techniques to release trapped emotions

    3. It incorporates guided visualizations to reconnect you with your authentic self

    4. It helps "cut the cord" between past traumas and present-day triggers

    5. It identifies and transforms aspects of your psyche that may be blocking healing

    The process is gentle yet powerful, allowing for deep transformation without necessarily having to relive painful experiences.

  • TRET is particularly effective for:

    • Processing and releasing traumatic memories

    • Reducing anxiety and stress responses

    • Dissolving emotional triggers

    • Healing negative core beliefs

    • Reconnecting with your authentic self

    • Breaking free from feeling "stuck" in life patterns

    • Transforming self-limiting behaviors

    • Enhancing resilience and emotional well-being

    • Resolving chronic pain with emotional components

    • Healing relationship wounds

  • TRET offers several distinctive advantages:

    • It works with the whole person—mind, body, and energy systems

    • It addresses the root causes of issues rather than just managing symptoms

    • It provides tools for self-regulation between sessions

    • It honors both psychological and energetic dimensions of healing

    • It creates lasting transformation by working at multiple levels simultaneously

  • I'm excited to offer this powerful modality as part of my practice. Whether you're a current client or new to my services, TRET provides a pathway to help you access your inner strength and embrace your full potential.

    To schedule a TRET session or learn more about how it might benefit you specifically, please contact me today.

    As with all my services, our work together is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I'm here to support you on your journey to greater personal freedom and profound transformation

COMPARING BWRT and TRET

  • While both approaches are effective for creating change, they work through different mechanisms:

    BWRT:

    • Focuses primarily on neural pathways in the brain

    • Works with the gap between unconscious response and conscious awareness

    • Is typically very rapid (often 1-3 sessions)

    • Is highly structured and protocol-driven

    • Doesn't require exploration of past experiences in detail

    TRET:

    • Integrates mind, body, and energy systems

    • Works with both cognitive and somatic aspects of trauma

    • May require more sessions for complex issues (typically 3-6)

    • Combines structured techniques with intuitive approaches

    • Incorporates energy psychology and visualization techniques

  • Neither is inherently "better"—they're simply different approaches that might be more suitable depending on your specific needs:

    • BWRT may be preferable if you want rapid resolution of a specific issue, prefer a more structured approach, or don't wish to discuss your experiences in detail.

    • TRET may be more appropriate if you want a whole-person approach, sense that your issues are stored in your body as well as your mind, or seek to address complex trauma patterns.

    In some cases, we might use both approaches in complementary ways to address different aspects of your healing journey.

  • Absolutely! Many clients experience profound transformation by utilizing both approaches:

    • BWRT can quickly clear specific triggers or behaviors

    • TRET can address the deeper, more complex patterns and facilitate more comprehensive healing

    Together, they offer a powerful combination for addressing both immediate concerns and underlying issues.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

  • Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET) is a transformative approach that integrates mind, body, and energy systems to address the impact of trauma and emotional blocks. TRET taps into the natural healing mechanisms of your mind-body connection to release emotional wounds, triggers, and negative beliefs that may be holding you back.

    Unlike approaches that simply manage symptoms, TRET focuses on resolving root causes of distress by combining cognitive interventions with somatic (body-based) techniques. This comprehensive approach allows for deeper, more lasting healing.

  • TRET can be particularly effective for:

    • Processing and releasing traumatic memories

    • Reducing anxiety and stress responses

    • Dissolving emotional triggers that lead to unwanted reactions

    • Healing negative core beliefs about yourself

    • Reconnecting with your authentic self

    • Breaking free from feeling "stuck" in life patterns

    • Transforming self-limiting behaviors

    • Enhancing resilience and emotional well-being

  • TRET works by:

    • Addressing both the mind AND body connection in the healing process

    • Using energy psychology techniques to release trapped emotions

    • Incorporating guided visualizations and meditations to reconnect you with your deeper well-being

    • "Cutting the cord" between past traumas and present-day triggers

    • Helping identify and transform aspects of your psyche that may be blocking your healing, such as your "inner critic" or "hurt inner child"

    • Creating a safe space for profound transformation without necessarily having to relive painful experiences

  • During a TRET session, we'll:

    1. Identify the specific issue or pattern you wish to address

    2. Use targeted techniques to access and release the root causes of distress

    3. Apply energy psychology methods to transform negative beliefs and emotions

    4. Implement guided visualizations to help you connect with your authentic self

    5. Provide you with tools to maintain your progress between sessions

    Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and conducted in a safe space where you remain in control. The number of sessions needed varies depending on your specific goals, but many clients experience significant shifts in just a few sessions.

  • TRET may be an excellent option if you:

    • Feel "stuck" in certain life patterns despite your best efforts to change

    • Experience emotional triggers that seem disproportionate to present situations

    • Have tried traditional talk therapy with limited results

    • Sense that your body holds emotions or tensions connected to past experiences

    • Are looking for an approach that honors both mind and body in the healing process

    • Want to address deep-seated issues without necessarily having to relive traumatic experiences

    • Are seeking lasting transformation rather than temporary relief
