I have suffered OCD with a particular focus on health anxiety since I was 4 years old. I am now 37. I spent countless hours of my life entirely disassociated because I couldn’t cope with reality. Health anxiety controlled every part of my life. I spent hours a day googling, thousands of euros at the doctors getting every test under the sun and missed out on countless activities and experiences because I was so afraid of something happening with my health.
Over the past 34 years I have sought out different types of therapy in an effort to overcome this. I have tried talk therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance therapy, health anxiety coaching courses…. The list goes on. None of these solved the problem. Years of appointments and lots of money spent, to no avail – nothing seemed to be able to calm me down when it came to my health.
In 2025, while attending a Doctor that I hadn’t met before he took the time to dig deeper into my health worries and realised that I was absolutely terrified of everything medical. He recommended BWRT and gave me Ewa’s details. I had never heard of BWRT but at this point I was so desperate to stop feeling this way that I was willing to try anything. I will be eternally grateful to that doctor because meeting Ewa and starting BWRT changed my life.
Over the course of 6 months Ewa worked through various traumas using BWRT techniques before tackling the health anxiety and disassociation that have been plaguing me since childhood. In the space of a few sessions, I went from spending upwards of 10 hours a day googling symptoms to knowing with confidence that I don’t need to. As I write this review, I am currently experiencing an allergic reaction to an unknown food. This time last year I would have been having constant panic attacks and be terrified I was going to die. Now I can sit here calmly and write this review knowing that fear doesn’t control my life anymore.
I genuinely don’t know how to thank Ewa enough. BWRT has given me my life back and I wasn’t sure that was possible. Ewa’s kindness and understanding ensured a safe space. Her motivation made me believe I could beat this. BWRT didn’t just stop my health anxiety – it positively impacted every area of my life.
