BWRT in the treatment of spider phobia: Case study
Session
Psychology
Description
Aim: This case study demonstrates the experience of client change with BWRT therapy of a female 22-year-old, she reported she had always been afraid of spiders and could not recall ever being at ease with them and this fear has started to affect her quality of life.
Method: The data were taken from the detailed notes of 3 sessions of client therapy. Having gained the required information and having explained how BWRT works we set to work on the problem. During one stage of the BWRT treatment she recalled many memories of being in the presence of spiders, and with BWRT we chose the most uncomfortable memory to work with. Her feelings of discomfort were rated at 10/10 the highest score and after we completed the process, we discussed several other matters before returning to the phobia subject.
Results: After the sessions she felt relieved and energized. After ten days she came to the clinic saying that she can stay comfortably at home without any fear that might be spiders there.
Conclusion: Phobias can be resolved easily in a short period of time with brain working recursive therapy. BWRT is a new model of psychology and psychopathology that fits well with current thinking on neuroscience.
