Why Brainspotting(R)?
The innovative therapy that pushes the frontiers of trauma healing
Brainspotting®:
What is brainspotting?
It is a revolutionary brain-based psychotherapy developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003. This powerful, focused therapy taps into deep regions of the brain where traumatic memories are stored. Brainspotting correlates to your field of vision. Your clinician will work with you to find brainspots, which are certain eye positions that, once identified, can be engaged to process and release traumatic memories.
Your clinician will guide you with a pointer, slowly moving it to various spots in your line of sight. Once you or your clinician notice that a certain spot causes a reaction in you—physical or internal—you will maintain eye fixation there. What’s called “activation” then begins. This is essentially a discharge of traumatic memories and other negative emotions. This is neuroplasticity.
Brainspotting was used in treating individuals affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy in December 2012. It was found to be the most effective treatment by Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation, Inc. The report can be found here. Additional studies can be found at www.brainspotting.com, as well as a plethora of reports and other resources.
The effects we’ve observed in clients after brainspotting have been dramatically positive. Many clients have shared that their experience with this innovative therapy as truly life-changing.
“Where you look affects how you feel.”
