Severe Anxiety issues

Before I came to see Sarah I was in a terrible state, I had such bad anxiety that I couldn’t walk my dog 20 meters down the road, or spend time with family and friends, I had no life. I spent about 2 years stuck in a hole that I couldn’t see a way out of. I didn’t even want help as I had given up on life and thought I would never be my authentic self again.

My mother managed to persuade me to give it a try. I made a little progress in the first 2 sessions, which gave me a lot of hope. I was given lots of techniques to deal with my anxiety throughout my day and they were easy to do and actually worked! I had 4 more sessions and by the end of my 6th session I felt almost myself again. The different types of therapy worked great for me and Sarah is so comfortable to be around and I felt like I had a friend that I could talk to about anything without being judged.

Now, a month later, I have even more confidence then ever and it is a miracle to go from who I was before to who I am now. I couldn’t have done it without my sessions with Sarah. Anytime I had a setback I could text or call and she would be there with advice. Sarah told me that she believed I was ready to carry on without her, which shows you she isn’t out for your money and actually cares about you. I recommend her to anyone suffering from mental health issues.

My BWRT® Experience

Why I had BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®

I have a very addictive personality and always take ‘trends’ to extremes. I am 27 years old and have been smoking since I was 15/16. I started smoking because it was ‘cool’ and I wanted to fit in with the ‘cool kids’. Initially it was smoking in lunchtime at school and at parties I went to. Then, when I started my first part time job – I smoked more (smokers got additional breaks). And that is where my routine/habit started. I could go a whole day without smoking if I had a ‘duvet day’, but the minute I walked to the station, had a beer, had my lunch break etc – that was cigarette time. It is also my ‘stress reliever’ go to.

I want to stop smoking because I have got bored of the routine – and I need help changing this. I have quit for some 2-3 months at a time, but the minute any high stress levels occur, game over.

Having the therapy

Sarah explained how the therapy worked, and what was needed from me in terms of information and also mind-set in order for BWRT® to have the greatest result. After completing a detailed questionnaire, Sarah talked me through my answers to ensure she understood the ‘route’ of my smoking.

During the visualisation process (the main part of the therapy), Sarah was calm and structured and I felt secure in her guidance. Her words and tone of voice made the deep visualisation possible for me. Where it was needed, she was patient and gave me time to go through the steps at my own pace.

After she had gone through the full process/ cycle with me, Sarah explained that this would STOP me smoking – that it was still dependent on me being strong will-powered. But that BWRT® would assist me in being able to ‘walk away’ from temptation with relative ease. She also explained that with my personality – the other areas/trends that I have been known to do in excess may temporarily increase.

Post-therapy

I have found that my addictive personality has gone a little OTT recently – as Sarah suggested may happen. But – I plan to have BWRT® with Sarah on a 2nd level to focus on some additional of these areas so that I am in control.

I had BWRT® 6 weeks ago and have not smoked a single cigarette. I do however have the odd puff on my e cigarette – maybe 5-8 times a day. I think the next step for me will be to remove the e-cigarette (the final crutch in this process I feel) and continue the great progress I have made.

I was sceptical at first, but – EXCELLENT RESULTS – LIFE CHANGING. JA

“After my first session with Sarah, I instinctively knew that her approach would help me. By digging deep into traumatic areas, Sarah helped me to understand my behaviour and gave me the answers and guidance that I needed. Sarah enabled me to clear my mind and move forward. She has given me a virtual toolbox when facing stressful situations. Most importantly (for me) Sarah has given me the confidence to realise that I have great qualities and I’m actually quite proud of what I have achieved.  Thank you for being on my journey during what was a very difficult time in my life. Always grateful.”  MG, Booker
