A relationship breakdown amidst difficult life circumstances led to a midlife crisis of confidence for my client. He found himself deeply unhappy and rudderless - uncharted waters for this competent sailor.

He got back in touch to refer a friend and we had a catch-up.

It's always very moving to meet someone in their moment of need and then find out a long time down the road that everything is gong so well.

Why do we love to be scared?

That night I first met Freddy Krueger was frightening and we all screamed and hid behind our cushions...

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.
