REAL-LIFE CASE STUDY: WASP PHOBIA SUCCESS

Gender: Female
Age: 30-35
Presenting problem: Wasp Phobia
Treatment modality: BWRT
Number of sessions: 2

R requested an appointment after she discovered a wasp flying around her bedroom one day and reacted in sheer panic – running out of the house in her pyjamas to the street beyond.

During our Zoom meeting she explained how, once outside on the pavement, she’d been paralysed with fear for a few minutes. Eventually, plucking up enough courage to run back into the house to retrieve her mobile phone, she swiftly returned to her place of safety to ring a friend, sobbing and shaking as she pressed the buttons. It was while waiting for her pal to arrive that R realised her fear was out of control.

It had all started a year before, she explained. Although she’d always felt a bit uncomfortable around wasps, it had never been too much of a problem. Then, one day, R had found herself trapped in a room with a wasp and ‘totally freaked out’.

REAL-LIFE CASE STUDY: WORK STRESS AND PROBLEM DRINKING

Chronic stress often leads to harmful behaviours, like drinking too much. A new client this week is experiencing this due to the constant demand of meeting high expectations, something that has followed them since childhood.

In the case study below, we discover that problem-drinking is threatening this man's marriage, and also has its roots in the death of his father:
Gender: Male
Age: 50-55
Presenting problem: Stress and Problem Drinking
Treatment modality: BWRT
Number of sessions: 6

B is a successful businessman in his early 50’s who is suffering under the weight of work-related stress and self-medicating with alcohol as a coping strategy.

During our consultation he says he cannot continue with the way things are. He is relieved that a recent medical check-up gave him a clean bill of health but realises that, if he doesn’t gain control over his drinking now, he is heading for trouble in the future – not least because it’s causing major problems in his marriage.

Presenting Problem: Alcohol, Grief and Stress. Fully committed to achieving his goals, P’s progress through the four-stage programme was remarkable. Each session he would arrive looking fitter and healthier than the last, and leave with a spring in his step.

UNRESOLVED GRIEF AND A LOVING GOODBYE

Gender: Male
Age: 40-45
Presenting problem: Help for Unresolved Grief
Treatment modality: BWRT
Number of sessions: 1

P is in the habit of putting off the things he wants to do and comes to me for help in sorting out his life.

He hasn’t always been like this, he says, although these days he procrastinates about everything. He tells me that he’s unhappy and wants to get on with trying new things but feels stuck, so doesn’t do anything.

When he was younger, P says his mother persuaded him not to follow his dream career. He has always regretted his lack of courage in standing up to her back then and is angry that she convinced him to take a safe but boring job. Their relationship was often fraught, he adds, but because she was his only family he’d found a way to muddle through.

When his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, her rapid mental and physical decline meant that P had to find a residential home to care for her. He’d visited every week for four years, until she finally succumbed to the complications of her illness three years before.

He is visibly upset as he talks about his mother and how, eventually, she was no longer able to recognise him. He says that when she died he felt an enormous surge of sadness and regret that he hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye properly, or tell her how he really felt, neither then or when she’d first been diagnosed – which, for P, was the first time the mother he knew died.

Gently, I suggest that his state of feeling stuck in is rooted in his grief. He agrees to let me guide him through a process of creating the most loving goodbye to his mother, enabling him to privately work through all the things he wished he could have said.
