You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s sticking.

Maybe you’ve been to therapy before, maybe even for years on end, you’ve poured your heart out, you’ve cried, you’ve learned the tools, tried all of the techniques,

But you’re still feeling…

Far more anxiety symptoms than you care to admit

Tired of trying to ‘manage’ the anxiety

Overwhelmed by the idea of never-ending therapy

BWRT® can help you update your brain’s automatic responses.

BrainWorking Recursive Technique® is a relatively new form of therapy based in neuroscience. Originating from the UK, this technique is little known in the United States, with only a small, but growing, number of trained therapists. I’m proud to be among them and to offer this unique approach to you.

  • In 1983, the scientist Benjamin Libet made a really interesting discovery that all decisions are made by a ‘silent’ part of the physical brain around a half to a third of a second before we become aware of them.

    This means there’s a ‘cognitive gap’ between the brain starting to react and you realizing what the reaction actually is…so no matter how hard to try to make adjustments to your reactions, the silent part of the brain is always one step ahead of you.

    This silent part of the brain is the Cerebellum and the brain stem and an astounding 80% of the brains total neuron count is housed here. In fact, based on mathematics from Libet’s experiment, an impulse travels through 50 meters of neural pathways or 50,000 neurons by the time it reaches full awareness and we are able to act on it.

    Every impulse that comes in from the outside world – and there are millions of them every second – is tested against previously stored information to see if it is part of a recognized pattern so that some sort of suitable response can be triggered.

    You might already be able to see that many ‘symptoms’ are the result of a behavior or thought pattern ‘firing up’ that has been activated before. It might actually have been a suitable or effective response at one time but the fact that it isn’t now doesn’t matter to that non-reasoning part of the brain.

    And this is where I come in with BWRT®, I’ve been trained to use this simple technique to help do some reprogramming in that silent part of the brain so that you can get the response that you want rather than continue with the outdated one that is no longer working for you.

    If any of this (or all of it!) is confusing to you, no worries, we will discuss how BWRT® works in depth during our first session. We will not begin until you feel you have a good understanding.

  • BWRT® therapy sessions are quite different from traditional talk therapy. If you’ve been in therapy before, you may be used to spending a lot of time explaining and exploring your life story, challenges, or past experiences in detail. While you’re always welcome to share as much as you’d like, this level of discussion isn’t required in BWRT®.

    After the initial intake session, our work together focuses on structured BWRT® protocols designed to help your brain respond differently to triggers and patterns. I will guide you through each step of the process, so you’ll always know what to expect.

    All that’s asked of you is to arrive ready to engage, stay present, and follow along during the session.

  • BWRT® is a solution-focused approach to therapy. While every individual’s situation is unique, many people find that BWRT® can bring meaningful change in a shorter timeframe—often over the course of months rather than the years sometimes associated with more traditional forms of therapy.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

Change is still within reach, even if past therapy has been unsuccessful.

FAQs

  • BWRT® boasts a high success rate and is said to be long-lasting, usually permanent! However, like any form of therapy, it does not work for everyone and there is no guarantee that it will work effectively for you. Of course it is important to be aware of this upfront.

  • Currently, BWRT® is not academically 'evidenced-based,' as it is a relatively new therapy and a large number of studies have not been completed. Rather, BWRT® is 'evidence-backed,' meaning that it is based on neuroscience concepts that have been long studied and understood. At this time, BWRT® is used successfully around the world by over 1,000 providers with thousands of patients. If you are interested in BWRT®, we will discuss this further during the informed consent process.

  • Unfortunately, BWRT® is not yet accepted by insurance companies. If you plan to use insurance for treatment and would like to discuss including BWRT® in your care, please let me know.
