Brainworking

Recursive Therapy
BWRT is an immensely powerful style of
working that can dissolve problems
almost instantaneously.
Even the results of deep trauma can
often be resolved in literally minutes,
instead of years.

Brain Working Recursive Therapy is an innovative new

concept of psychotherapy, completely unlike anything
that has gone before it. It presents an entirely new
view of the subconscious mind - one that is extremely
'user friendly' and easy for the client to understand - as
well as an elegant way of providing psychotherapy that
gets easily beneath the Conscious Critical Faculty.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine,

Member of the City&Guilds Institute of London (the
only Psychotherapist in the world to be awarded such
an honour). He is the creator of the popular
Hypnosense website and author of several books. He
was intrigued by Libets work and this led him to
develop BWRT in 2012.

BWRT is not like anything else you will have studied.

Its not a rehash of NLP, EFT, TFT, WSN, SD, EMDR,
Hypnosis,
Reiki,
Meridian/Energy
therapies,
Noesiology, Chinosis or any other style of therapy you
might have encountered. Its unique and inspired by
the research of Benjamin Libet. In 1983 Benjamin Libet
(2003 winner of the Virtual Nobel Prize in Psychology
from University of Klagenfurt), Professor at University
of California ran a series of experiments that proved
we do not have free will in the way we think of it,
which is precisely why we all encounter so many Why
on earth did I do/say that? or Why do I have to feel
like this? moments.

BWRT has been designed to remove emotive

responses from memories that are deeply troubling
and create new, adaptive neural pathways that do not
have the old undesirable emotional responses
attached to it.

In 1983, Libets experimental research, showed that

there is a measurable wait (more than 1/3 second!)
between the moment the brain commences to act
upon any stimulus and our becoming aware of that
action - in other words, by the time we know what we
are doing, were already doing it and its old news as
far as the physical brain is concerned. Remarkably,
even the decision to change your mind about what you
are doing is made before conscious awareness of that
decision. BWRT allows us the opportunity to work in
that interval between the commencement of an action
and conscious awareness; this allows us the
opportunity to negate destructive thought patterns so
completely it's as if they were never there.

BWRT is consistent with the latest Neuroscience

developments, particularly Limbic system functioning.
It explains

Terence Watts developed BWRT in 2012. He started

out as a Computer Engineer and then became one of
the leading Psychotherapists in the UK.

The therapy extends the neural pathways so that the

client/patients brain knows the new patterns to use in
future .Every new experience creates a new template.
In fact, immediately the therapy is finished, the client
can no longer feel any negative response to the usual
trigger for their presenting symptom, no matter how
hard to try to fire it up.

Reflex actions

Annoying behaviours

I couldnt help myself

Why did I behave like that?

It was not my intention

This therapy is largely content-free, using the clients

own thought processes to affect a release from the
symptomatic pattern - and there is a strict protocol
which ensures maximum effectiveness and complete
safety.
