Brainspotting:

Where you look affects how you feel.

WHAT IS BRAINSPOTTING?

Developed by David Grand, Ph.D., Brainspotting harnesses the power of neurobiology and the nervous system to create deep and lasting transformation.

How It Works

The phrase above, “Where you look affects how you feel”, simply describes the essence of the practice. You may have noticed that when you are deep in thought you tend to look a certain direction or find yourself staring at a particular spot. Essentially, when focused in this way, deep brain processing is accessed. Often in traditional talk therapy, material from the neocortex is engaged, where thought, language, and other executive functions are processed. Brainspotting engages the subcortical brain which is responsible for managing emotional regulation, the fight/flight/freeze response, and memory storage. With this engagement, brainspotting activates neurophysiological systems which have the power to bring emotional, spiritual, and physical healing for the reasons people seek out psychotherapy.

Brainspotting Session

In a brainspotting session, together we will locate a ‘Brainspot’ that correlates with and accesses the elements that are coming up in therapy. You will bring mindful awareness to your embodied experience while focusing on this Brainspot. Along with this mindful attention, there is the option of utilizing bilateral sound via headphones. Bilateral music is designed to activate and integrate the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which often supports a deeper process. I look forward to sharing this effective modality with you.

Learn about the most basic component of Brainspotting, the Brainspot. Brainspotting (BSP) was discovered in 2003 by David Grand, Ph.D. Over 10,000 therapists have been trained in BSP in the US, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. “Where we look affects how we feel”. Brainspotting makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the Brainspotting therapist to locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. Brainspotting is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship. It has been shown that Brainspotting taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability. When a Brainspot is stimulated, the deep brain appears to reflexively signal the therapist that the source of the problem has been found. Brainspotting can be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience. Brainspotting is designed as a therapeutic tool that can be integrated into many of the healing modalities, and can also be used for performance and creativity enhancement. https://brainspotting.pro/
