History of
BSOTR
BSOTR was originated by Robert Schwartz, Psy.D., a close collaborator of Bessel Van Der Kolk. It is a combination of Brief, Solution Oriented therapy, hypnosis, NLP, and Gestalt into a seamless, elegant method that helps clients integrate their hurt younger Selves. This creates an integration that provides a blueprint for positive self-parenting, the very foundation for mental, emotional and relationship health.
​
Yudit Maros, LMFT, C.Ht trained under Robert Schwarz and, with his permission, has been bringing the training to other mental health professionals in person for the past
twenty-five years.
​
In 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, BSOTR training first moved to being taught by webinar. At that same time, clinicians around the country also moved to teletherapy, and found that using BSOTR with clients via telehealth is just as powerful as in-person sessions.
Today, Yudit teaches BSOTR to clinicans as part of a larger certification in Authenticty Therapy
which is taught at week-long retreats around the world. For training in BSOTR alone, Briana Benn-Mirandi and Greg Schoeneck continue to offer trainings in person and via webinar.
