What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a powerful and effective method of identifying, processing, and releasing various types of trauma. It can be utilized in combination with talk therapy or as a stand-alone healing method. I have been astonished at the deep level of healing that clients have achieved in a relatively brief amount of time utilizing Brainspotting.
Traumatic events can overwhelm the brain and leave behind unprocessed traumatic impressions that manifest as psychological or emotional problems in a person’s life. Brainspotting allows a trained practitioners to utilize a client’s field of vision to discover specific spots in the brain where trauma is being held. Once a ‘brainspot’ is identified, deep processing acts to release and resolve the unprocessed traumatic impression.
Brainspotting does not remove memories of traumatic life events; it safely and effectively diminishes the negative feelings associated with the events. Minor traumas can often be addressed and healed in a couple of sessions, whereas more complex traumas may require numerous sessions to resolve.
Who can benefit from Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting was discovered in 2003 by David Grand, Ph.D, and is practiced by thousands of therapists all over the world. The power and rapid effectiveness of this technique comes from the combination of two relationships: the relationship between the practitioner and client held in dual-attunement, and the strength of the brain-and-body-based modality. Brainspotting is a gentle therapy that is suitable for anyone, and it is very helpful in treating a wide variety of conditions such as:
-
Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Grief and Loss

Creativity, Sports, and Performance Enhancement
