Why take this course

On successful completion of this Level 1 course, you will be a qualified and certificated BWRT Professional Practitioner able to work with your clients immediately.

 

BWRT Level 1 covers General Psychopathology - classified as 'the study and treatment of psychological and behavioural dysfunction'. See further down this page for what that allows you to work effectively with.

 

Click here for a brochure outlining this Level 1 course.

 

Attend in your own time zone - The class is recorded for later viewing so if you are not able to attend live, you can study it at a time that suits you and any questions can be emailed. It's not just a 'talking head' either, since there is a lot of interaction between attendees, though it's entirely optional whether to participate or not - and the interaction is included on the recordings, making for a truly 'live feel' to each class. No matter where in the world you live, you can learn this astonishing therapy. 

 

You won't be on camera yourself so there's no need to be 'camera-ready'. (Some people have even studied from their bedroom late at night.)

 

The course is conducted in a ten x 90 minute lessons format, giving plenty of time for the assimilation of new information and practice with colleagues, friends or family - and yes, you can do that with BWRT since you don't need to dig around in private areas of an individual's psyche.

 

Our next course, conducted by Terence Watts himself, commences on Monday,Fenruary 1, 2027 at 11.30 am (UK time).

Therapists from all over the world have now become proficient in this innovative and effective new methodology. Not only that, but one highly eminent clinical psychologist who runs a clinic for psychological disorders in South Africa has stopped using every single one of his previous methodologies (including CBT and EMDR) in favour of BWRT, insisting that it turns on its head 'everything we thought we knew about the human psyche.'

 

(Please note that in South Africa, BWRT® is registered healthcare and is regulated by the HPCSA - Health Professions Council of South Africa - and only registered psychologists, registered counsellors and psychiatrists are allowed to use BWRT® in their practice.)

What You Will Learn

BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® (BrainWorking Recursive Technique® in the USA and other regions where 'therapy' is a restricted term) is an innovative concept of working effectively with all negative and destructive thought patterns. It is completely unlike anything that has gone before it and presents a revolutionary new view of the subconscious mind - one that is easy for the client to understand - as well as an elegant way of providing ultra-effective psychotherapy.

 

A major 'plus' for BWRT is that it can used with total safety via Skype, Zoom or similar media, or even by phone, where it is every bit as effective as face-to-face sessions. It is also morally and ethically acceptable to use it with friends and family with no limitations. BWRT really is the therapy of the future.

 

It truly is not a derivative of any other psycholgical therapy and although it works with what have always been considered to be 'trapped' emotional responses, they don't have to be 'released' as in most therapeutic methodlogies. Instead, they are totally neutralised 'at source'.

 

One of the advantages of BWRT is that that client does't have to divulge their secrets, whatever they are, for the therapy to still be completely successful. Suitable for all personality types, including those who are involuntarily and automatically resistant, it excels when help is needed for the  huge variety of issues all included in the Level 1 training.

 

  • Commitment Anxiety
  • All Phobias and Fears
  • Success Inhibition
  • Fear of failure
  • All types of Performance Anxiety
  • Self Worth/Self-Confidence Issues
  • Fear of Authority
  • Relationship Issues
  • PTSD
  • PDSD (Prolonged Duress Stress Disroder)
  • Grief
  • Illness Anxiety

And more besides...

 

PLEASE NOTE: Although we can help with many more issues, we are not a medical organisation and where there is a possiblity that a condition may have a medical cause or need, BWRT practitioners are required to ensure as far as is possible that there has been relevant medical consultation. With that proviso, many psychologists and therapists have found BWRT can provide effective help in association with conventional medical care with such issues as:

 

  • Binge eating/drinking
  • OCD
  • Most dependencies
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder
  • Self-harming
  • Suicide ideation
  • Most depressions

 

Based around the latest discoveries in neuroscience, this technique provides flawless and easy-to-understand explanations of why we are apparently powerless to stop doing things that are destructive to us and our well being. It achieves the previously considered impossible task of near-instant neural plasticity, allowing effortless and immediate revising and updating of learned negative constructs and complex behaviour patterns.

 

It is important to be aware that BrainWorking Recursive Therapy is not in any way a rehash or deriviative of WSN, CBT, NLP, TFT, EMDR, ACT, EFT, TFT, Hypnosis or anything else.

 

It is a unique and exciting concept, unlike anything you will ever have learned before. We know it sounds too good to be true - but it works exactly as claimed.

 

This 10 lesson online training reveals:

 

  • Why an event from years ago is still current as far as the brain is concerned
  • Why the subconscious is not necessarily trying to look after our best interests
  • How the the brain starts making decisions without our input - and what we can do about it
  • How mental processes travel 50 meters of neural pathways in the brain before we become aware of them
  • How to deal effectively with the 'worry loop' that stops people in their tracks
  • How destructive responses can be stopped and destroyed before they reach awareness
  • And, of course, how to conduct this therapy from start to finish!

 

Perhaps the best thing of all is that this is a genuinely fast therapy that usually provides a permanent resolution of almost any psychological issue. As a result it is now the main 'go to' therapy for huge numbers of psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists.

 

When you've completed this training by successfully passing the final assessment process (included in the training fee) you will receive your BWRT certification and then be eligible for registration with The International BWRT Institute. Such registration is entirely optional, though brings a huge number of included benefits, including many working methodologies in specialist subjects.

 

For continued support and communication after your training is complete, you can join one of our peer groups to make contact with more BWRT practitioners, consult with one of our supervisors, or contact the creator of BWRT himself.

 

This is what Rafiq Lockhat, now the trainer in South Africa and Terence Watts' research partner, said after he trained in the process in 2013:

 

"I am astounded by the results... I have been a Clinical Psychologist for 23 years now and I have yet to see a treatment work this fast and so effectively."

Rafiq Lockhat, Clinical Psychologist

 

And here are some comments from experienced clinicians:

 

"BWRT has changed my practice and made such a positive impact on so many lives - It really has been such a wonderful journey using BWRT"

Sharon Hoek, Clinical & Counselling Psychologist

 

"I find my diary more booked with BWRT® sessions than medication follow ups! There is not a day that goes by without me using BWRT and Level 2 work is very rewarding. This has certainly changed the way we treat patients!"

Dr Ryola Singh, Psychiatrist

 

"BWRT is an effective, time-limited intervention that has frequently resulted in fewer patients needing psychiatric medications. Those who need medication frequently need lower doses AND it offsets the need for hours and hours of costly and time-consuming psychotherapy."

Dr Feroza Arbee, Psychiatrist

Is this suitable for me?

If you're a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, psychologist, counsellor, psychiatrist or other 'mind worker', this course is suitable for you.

Course Outline

It's possible to work more efficiently with almost any presenting symptom pattern that can be addressed by other therapies such as Hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT and the many others available. The training includes the foundation Virtual World Protocol that you can use for almost any presenting difficulty, as well as several specialist protocols to make some issues, such as PTSD, easier to work with than ever.

 

Many therapy models claim rapid success, though it is more often than not just a possibility, where with BWRT it is all but inevitable.

 

The comprehensive documentation that you will receive with the video recording of each lesson allows you to review everything at your leisure. And if you are unclear on anything you can email us at any time for clarification.
