BWRT? Why?
Unknown / do not 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 experiences. Since BWRT® is not part of classic academic curricula, unknown generates doubt.
The usual reaction: “I don’t know, therefore I don’t believe it.”
Professional identity is deeply invested in existing approaches👉🏻
Traditional trainings such as CBT, EMDR, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, etc. require years of study, supervision and experience. Accepting a newer and faster method like BWRT® arouses resistance, because it can be experienced as a threat to the value of their experience.
“If this works better and faster, what have I been doing for 15 years?”
Fear that BWRT “rewrites” the way therapy works👉🏻
BWRT® does not follow the classic rules: there is no exposure, no long analysis, no traditional verbal processing. For many professionals, this is outside their comfort zone and challenges the way they conceptualize healing. BWRT® works differently from classic approaches. There is no deep analysis, no traumatic exposure, no psychodynamic interpretation 👉🏻all of which may seem “too simple to be true” to a professional who has built everything on complexity. Ironically, the simplicity of BWRT® sometimes makes it difficult to accept by those who are used to complex processes.
Lack of professional flexibility and scientific curiosity
Some professionals are more committed to stability than development. They may not seek 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 (e.g. “CBT expert”), switching to a new approach like BWRT may seem like a risk to their professional image. They may even feel like a “newbie” in another field, a role they may avoid. Some professionals are so identified with their approach that anything that challenges this structure is experienced as a personal attack. Well, it is not the fear of BWRT, but the fear of changing their role.
✅ Institutional and academic approach has not yet included BWRT officially👉🏻
BWRT is outside the classic structures of state institutions, NGOs and universities. Professionals who are closely linked to these structures often follow the institutional line and not 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 effective, very fast, very different, and that makes it scary.
✅ The logical fallacy: “If it’s not part of the system, it’s not valid”👉🏻
This is a form of institutional bias that prevents the exploration of new methods simply because they are not yet part of the accepted academic system.
But as the history of psychotherapy says:
“Every new method is first rejected, then criticized, and finally adopted.”
