What is the meaning of ‘Guilty’? In the eyes of the Law, Guilty, means being responsible for a specific wrong doing, resulting in some form of penalty. However, it may be that someone may not break the law but be guilty of a moral code such as having an affair or just being unkind to others because they are unhappy.
During my seven years of being a therapist there have been many clients who were eaten up with guilt of one kind or another. Harvesting guilty feelings, was causing them constant internal distress that keeps them awake at night causing anxiety that can feel worse than the actual guilty feeling itself.
Many clients I have helped should not be feeling this guilty emotion in the first place as the reason they are feeling this is because they are good kind people who care so much.
With three of these clients I successfully used the BWRT protocol and for the fourth she preferred hypnotherapy which was also very effective.
I have been working with four client’s recently who had different issues, with no mention of feeling guilty but during the course of assessment it became apparent that in addition to their other issues they felt guilty about something that they have done, didn’t do or couldn’t do.
All felt they were all unable to help elderly parents as much as they wanted to, or being made to feel guilty because they couldn’t do what was expected of them by their parents and others.
Two of them felt really guilty about going on holiday and leaving parents behind in case something happened whilst they were away.
However it was apparent that both these clients desperately needed that respite break, away from their responsibility to those parents in order to recharge to be able to continue with the extra duties they had taken on as well as working and supporting a family too.

I went to see Jacqui last year as I had some issues around self-esteem and felt that I was procrastinating. Jacqui was brilliant, we went through techniques that helped me to clear things that I didn't even realise were holding me back. Since then I have achieved so much including releasing my first children's book. I would recommend her to anyone. Gabrielle Brierley
Hi Jacqui Just thought I would drop you a message to let you know that I managed to fly on holiday with no anxiety on the outboard flight actually enjoying most of it and minimal anxiety on the return flight which was manageable so whatever you did must have worked, thank you!

I cannot recommend Jacqui enough and thank her for everything she has done for me. To have your life back and feel happy again is the best feeling in the world.

Dear Jacqui, I just want to express my sincere thanks on behalf of P and I for your kindness in the way you dealt with P and resolved her fear and also for resolving mine. I did not realise that my fear could be transferred to my daughter, I can't thank you enough, great therapy

Since starting my sessions with Jacqui I feel like a different person. Initially, I was seeking help for my chronic hives, which I had been suffering with for two and a half years. Jacqui is a great listener, kind and caring. She helped me get to the root of my problems and together we addressed many issues which were causing me stress and anxiety. I cannot recommend Jacqui enough and thank her from the bottom of my heart for everything she has done for me.
