WHAT IS BRAINSPOTTING?

​Brainspotting (BSP) was developed by David Grand, who practiced and taught EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy before discovering the power of BSP in an EMDR session with a client.
It is a brain-body based relational therapy that can be integrated into different types of therapies. It beautifully aligns with Humanistic approaches as it understands that clients are the experts on themselves and the therapist takes their lead from the client.
BSP capitalizes on and immensely enhances our natural self-healing ability. It also helps you bypass the thinking part of brain and strip away our defense mechanisms to access the deepest roots of our traumas that have become stuck in our body and have led to emotional and/or physical pain.
For many people who struggle to talk extensively about their experiences, memories and emotions, it can be very helpful as it doesn’t require a lot of speaking or explanation.
More importantly, it is very effective at helping clients find, process, release and heal unresolved trauma and trauma-related symptoms.
