Brainspotting

Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting is a powerful, somatic treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with bilateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.​

 

​How Brainspotting Works:

• Unprocessed traumas are held in “capsules” in the brain: A brainspot is seen as an eye position that correlates with a physiological “capsule” that holds traumatic experience in memory form.

• Eye Positioning: During a Brainspotting session, you'll be guided to focus on a particular spot in your visual field. This activates neural pathways related to the emotional or traumatic memory.

• Observe your experience without judgement: By remaining open and curious, you can create a safe space for healing allowing for emotional, visual, physiological, and spiritual processing. 

• Processing and Healing: As you focus on this spot, your body naturally processes and releases the emotional charge associated with the memory, leading to healing and resolution.

​​Benefits of Brainspotting:

• Effective for Trauma: Brainspotting is highly effective for treating trauma, PTSD, and other anxiety disorders.

• Addresses Physical Symptoms: It can also help alleviate physical symptoms related to emotional distress, such as chronic pain or fatigue.

• Promotes Self-Awareness: By accessing deep-seated emotions, Brainspotting can foster greater self-awareness and personal growth.
