Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a brain based therapy for rapid and effective change and healing discovered by David Grand, Ph.D in 2003.  It is designed to help people access and process past trauma including PTSD, negative emotions, blockages, different kinds of emotional and physical pain.  It is a non-verbal or verbal deep brain mindfulness process that works to release sources of emotional pain and body held trauma. The motto of Brainspotting “where you look affects how you feel”, reveals how our brain and eyes are intricately connected. When we find a spot in our field of vision we gain access to what is going on within the body and we are able to connect to our brain's innate healing capacity. Brainspotting is a dual attunement process where the practitioner's and client’s relationship enhances the healing process. Brainspotting has the potential to separate your emotions from your painful situation (s), where the pain no longer affects you. During a Brainspotting session the practitioner compassionately listens to the client’s needs & experiences, while observing & watching for the client's reflexive cues.
