Anxiety and Uncertainty
Extraordinarily testing things can happen to us: redundancy, relationship breakdown, illness, bereavement and everything else that feels like a catastrophe when it happens. Even though we know these things could happen it doesn’t stop them being incredibly shocking and destabilising.
It’s natural to feel overwhelmed and wonder what on earth is coming next. The worst side effect is losing confidence that you’ll be able to cope in the world that has changed so much for you.
Each experience is stored as data recognisable by the most primitive survival instinct in the brain. So each time a similar experience happens. It sparks the same reaction despite the actual threat being out of sync with reality.
BWRT changes an unhealthy anxious reaction to a preferred healthy reaction, helping you stand back, reconnect with a fuller picture of yourself, firstly identifying and working with small doable things that will help you cope in the short term while you gently go forward face the big stuff with the confidence in the process and find your feet again.
