What is Brainspotting and how can it help me?
Brainspotting has been found to help start the body’s natural healing process.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting (BSP) is a relatively new, yet powerful and focused treatment method designed by David Grand, Ph.D. to help people process and relieve suffering from negative emotions, pain, and trauma. Since then, BSP has been utilized by many health care professionals as an effective treatment for a significant list of challenging symptoms, of which both physical and emotional trauma, chronic pain, and stress are included.
While BSP can be used to treat symptoms like physical illnesses, low motivation, and stuttering, it is often used as treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma therapy.
How does it work?
Where someone looks with their eyes can affect the way they feel. During a Brainspotting session, a trained therapist will guide your eyes with a pointer in order to find the eye position that activates the specific trauma or pain that needs to be healed. Within a deeply focused and calming environment, the brainspot is activated by the therapist, allowing the therapist to reach the trauma on a much deeper level than just talk therapy alone.
Can I benefit from Brainspotting?
Trauma, whether large or small, has been found to be stored deep within the human body, affecting how the brain processes memory, emotions, and can in turn have an effect on physical health. If you have suffered from emotional or physical trauma, BSP may prove to be beneficial. Approximately 75% of medical cases link back to an accumulation of stress or trauma. Many people have benefitted from BSP to treat the following conditions:
Recovery from Injury/Accident
Sports Performance/Creativity Enhancement
Fibromyalgia or Other Chronic Pain Conditions
Chronic Fatigue
Addictions or Cravings
ADD/ADH
Stuttering
Phobias
Asthma
Anxiety/Panic Attacks
Anger Issues
