Who Trains in BWRT? Read this … ⬇️⬇️⬇️
What prevents professionals specializing in outdated approaches and therapeutic standards from training at BWRT?
Professionally, it's not just a matter of methods, it's a matter of psychology, professional identity and system structure.
✅ Unknown / don't know how BWRT® works👉🏻
Many professionals are not yet exposed to BWRT®, or have heard of it as a new name, without sufficient scientific information or clinical experience. Since BWRT® is not part of the classical academic curriculum, the unknown generates doubt.
The usual reaction: "I don't know him, so I don't trust him. ”
✅ Professional identity is deeply invested in existing approaches👉🏻
Traditional trainings like CBT, EMDR, psychoanalytic therapy etc. require years of study, supervision and experience. Adopting a newer and faster method like BWRT® stirs resistance, because it can be perceived as a threat to the value of their experience.
"If this works better and faster, what have I done in 15 years? ”
✅ Fear that BWRT "writes from scratch" how therapy works👉🏻
BWRT® does not follow classic rules: no exposure, no lengthy analysis, no traditional verbal processing. For many professionals, this is outside of their comfort zone and challenges how they perceive healing. BWRT® works differently from classic approaches. No deep analysis, no traumatic exposure, no psychodynamic interpretation 👉🏻all of this might seem “too simple to be true” for a professional who has built everything on complexity. Ironically, the simplicity of BWRT® sometimes makes it difficult to accept by those who are accustomed to complicated processes.
✅ Lack of professional flexibility and scientific curiosity👉🏻
Some professionals are more committed to stability than development. They may not look any further because they are satisfied with what they know. This is professional conformism that leaves no room for growth.
✅ Status in the professional community👉🏻
If someone is known as an expert in a certain approach (p. sh. "CBT expert"), switching to a new approach like BWRT may seem jeopardous to his/her professional image. They can even feel like “beginners” in another area, a role they want to avoid. Some professionals are so identified with their approach that anything that challenges this structure is perceived as a personal attack. Well, it's not the fear of BWRT, it's the fear of their role being changed.
✅ Institutional and academic approach has not yet officially included BWRT👉🏻
BWRT is out of the classical structures of state institutions, NGOs and universities. Professionals who are closely associated with these structures often follow the institutional line rather than free research.
✅ Fear of change, a natural psychological resistance👉🏻
No matter how advanced we are, our brains are built to preserve what is known and safe. BWRT® seems very efficient, very fast, very different, and that makes it scary.
✅ Logical error: "If it's not part of the system, it's not valid"👉🏻
This is a form of institutional bias that prohibits exploration of new methods just because they are not yet part of the accepted academic system.
Obstacles are neither theoretical nor ethical, they are deeply human. It's not just refusing a method. It's scary to admit there might be a better way to help people. 😊
But as the story of psychotherapy says:
"Every new method is first rejected, then criticized, and finally adopted. ”
The question I have for you colleagues:
-If you were the client/patient yourself what would you choose for yourself? Results as fast as possible or years in therapy? - curious for him 😊
