Leslie Martin is a Certified Level 1 BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® (BWRT®) Practitioner, Certified BWRT® Grief Practitioner, and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist with more than a decade of experience helping clients work through anxiety, grief, emotional overwhelm, painful memories, and deeply ingrained subconscious patterns.
Her work is especially helpful for individuals who understand intellectually that they want to move forward, yet still find themselves emotionally triggered, replaying painful events, anticipating worst-case scenarios, or reacting in ways that feel difficult to control. Relationship betrayal, separation, divorce, and loss can leave the brain and nervous system operating as though the threat is still present, even when the person knows the event is in the past.
Using BWRT®, Leslie helps clients address these automatic emotional responses at their source. The goal is not to erase the memory of what happened, but to reduce the intensity attached to it so clients can think more clearly, respond differently, and regain a greater sense of emotional control.
As a Certified BWRT® Grief Practitioner, Leslie also supports clients navigating the complex emotions that can accompany the loss of a relationship, a major life transition, or the future they believed they were going to have. Her approach recognizes that grief may include sadness, anger, fear, rejection, confusion, and loss of identity, and that these reactions can sometimes become deeply embedded in subconscious patterns.
Her style is compassionate, practical, and results-focused. She creates a supportive, judgment-free space where clients can explore what is driving their reactions without feeling they must repeatedly relive painful experiences. As emotional intensity begins to settle, clients are often better able to make decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear, anger, or emotional overwhelm.
Common Questions
What is BWRT®?
BWRT® (Brain Working Recursive Therapy) is a technique Leslie uses to address automatic emotional responses at their source. It is especially helpful when you know you want to move forward but still get triggered, replay painful events, or expect the worst.
Is BWRT® hypnosis?
No. BWRT® does not involve a hypnotic state. You are alert and engaged in conversation for the whole session.
Do I have to relive or describe what happened?
No. With BWRT®, the work focuses on how your brain is responding right now, not a detailed retelling of the past. You are not required to relive painful experiences.
Will BWRT® erase my memory of what happened?
No. The goal is not to erase the memory but to reduce the intensity attached to it, so you can think more clearly, respond differently, and feel more in control.
How many sessions is BWRT®?
BWRT® is offered as a 3-session package. Your first session is booked directly, and Leslie schedules the next two with you as you go. Most sessions run about an hour, in person in Nashville or by Zoom.
Can BWRT® help with grief or the end of a relationship?
Leslie is a Certified BWRT® Grief Practitioner. She supports clients working through relationship betrayal, separation, divorce, and loss, where the brain and nervous system can keep reacting as though the threat is still present.
BWRT® is not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or psychological condition. Many clients use this work alongside — not instead of — care from their doctor or therapist.
