What is BWRT®?

BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® (BWRT®) is a modern, evidence-informed form of psychotherapy that helps people break free from anxiety, trauma, and unwanted habits quickly and effectively.

At TherapyShift, we provide BWRT® online across Alberta. BWRT® was specifically developed for online delivery, making it effective for video consultations. This innovative therapy works directly with the way your brain processes information, creating fast, lasting results. Many clients describe BWRT® as practical, empowering, and different from traditional talk therapy.

How BWRT® Works

When stressful situations trigger automatic reactions - like anxiety, fear, or avoidance - your brain responds before you’re even aware of it.

These patterns can get “stuck” and lead to ongoing difficulties.

BWRT® uses a structured, guided process to retrain the brain’s automatic responses.

BWRT® Can Help

At TherapyShift, BWRT® is used to support clients across Alberta with concerns such as:

  • Trauma and PTSD treatment

  • Phobia therapy (fear of flying, driving, heights, needles, etc.)

  • Stress and burnout in high- performing professionals

  • Habit and behaviour change

  • Low self-esteem and confidence building

BWRT® stands for BrainWorking Recursive Technique®, a method of working with personal issues created by UK professional therapist Terence Watts, MCGI. It’s a confidential approach that does not require you to reveal private information or personal secrets, and it is carried out in a fully conscious state.

BWRT® does not use hypnosis and does not involve anything mystical or unscientific - it’s completely logical, practical, and down-to-earth. To succeed, the only requirement is that you know what you want to change in your life. Only Certified Practitioners are trained to deliver BWRT®, and all must adhere to a strict ethical code.

At TherapyShift, we help clients move past stuck patterns and create lasting shifts in their lives.
