Stop fear or being afraid of snakes, height, needles, darkness, arachnaphobia, psycholigical paralysis, panic attack….
Have you ever had an unhelpful thought that just continues on a loop or a seemingly over reaction to an ordinary situation? Many of us at times get a little stuck with ourselves and our thinking. Sometimes our thoughts seem to be on a loop that serves no purpose other than upsetting us or causing us worry or stress. Be it a negative comment someone said in the past to an extreme fear of needles or spiders or something else; our minds can be strange places and hard to manage on our own.
The good news is there is a new and transformative therapy that is having impressive and long-lasting results in just a couple of sessions. Plus you don’t need to travel far to enjoy the benefits. Helen Priestley, a Malton based Hypnotherapist and Hypnobirthing Teacher is qualified and experienced and keen to spread the word. Helen says;
Mother and children on swing over sea.
‘Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) is a new model of psychology and psychopathology developed by Terence Watts and Rafiq Lockhat a leading South African Psychologist. It works with the ‘reptilian’ part of the brain, the part of the brain which responds incredibly fast and before the conscious mind is often aware of it. If you’ve ever blurted something out without thinking, you’ll understand just how powerful that part of the brain is. It’s instinctive, a little like you can’t help but put your hands out to catch something if someone throws something in your direction’
Helen continues; ‘As a therapy it is very different to Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy, albeit with the same end goal to help people make permanent changes in how they feel or react about something. So far, I have helped people with anxiety and phobias from age 8 to 70 years old. My favourite outcome so far was from an older lady who had had (in her words) ‘a lifelong needle phobia’ who rang me up to excitedly tell me that not only had the phobia disappeared she was now watching now enjoying a range of hospital dramas she had never been previously able to watch!’
BWRT can help with the following and more; General Anxiety Disorder, stress, phobias, changing unhelpful memories, unhealthy habits, difficulties with situations/people.
