I did 1 session, and found trauma I didn’t even know I had. I cried for minutes after it was so powerful. I highly recommend.

I’ve just completed my first session, and it registered on the Richter Scale! We accomplished in one session what I have been looking to resolve in over thirty years of therapy. My thanks to Dr. Grand is immense - I can’t even begin to describe it. We’ve only hit the first trauma, and there are more to unravel. I can’t recommend Brainspotting enough. It has changed my life.

I already did 3 sections. It's real and works, especially with trauma! Thanks for your input 👍

I just experienced Brainspotting. It was/is amazing. I wanted to learn more to understand my the cortical processing that I am doing. I have worked with EMDR and Somatic Experience, and decades with talk therapy, so far I am impressed the most with brainspotting. Thank You.

Look up Observed and Experiential Integration (OEI). It’s what Grand stole to ‘create’ BSP only OEI has advanced more over the years and is far superior for clearing trauma

I just started last week doing brainspotting, I've experienced every kinda trauma someone can go thru I've been kinda struggling to move forward we tried emdr I dissociated badly with it, even doing 2 sessions it's definitely helped me sleep I've suffered from Insomnia my whole like ,today we realized I have alot high anxiety all over when he got to belt level I was calm when he would raise the pointer I would go pretty much into a panic attack but as he eased me back down slowly I felt better I'm very emotionally irrelevant all over the place it kinda made sense when he explained a Lil but of the process I've always since a child had to look low never really wondered why until he asked me .I Said it made me simply feel safe . He said ok we have our point he had to adjust the protocol a Lil I'm hoping this works I really like it do far but it's scary that when I get to my low point of calm I pretty much dissociate from reality. It's very intriguing 🤔 I love how the brain works. Even tho it drives me crazy 😆

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am a little late, but I have a question: I understand the process but I do not understand how the trauma resolves. Once you identify the brainspot (brainspots) you are able to "demystify" it, because you realize that the trauma only lives in the experience?! You sort of contemplate it like in meditation? By that I mean that you detach yourself like an observer while you work through it. And sooner or later it will dissolve? Is that what is happening in this sort of therapy.

I"m listening to Grand's audiobook I streamed from our local library, I believe the trained therapist scans the horizontal visual field with the individual and when eye movement 'catches', the individual is encouraged to remain in that moment and describe sensations in whole body as long as possible, paying attention to any part of the physical body that perceives strong sensation. I think that case studies have shown that individuals have then recalled painful, unrecognized trauma, stayed with it, described it, and from what I recall, a lot of other stuff, almost like a 'movie' can pass through the visual field! I have not finished the audiobook, but it sounds to me like the 'left to right' movement, sounds that are played, and releasing the trapped memory is a cathartic experience, with releases occurring sometimes right away, sometimes later. "Brainspotting" is name of book by David Grand, PhD.

This sounds like an aspect of Feldenkrais method that involves eye movements.

I’ve done brain spotting twice now and I have had zero reactions. I’m disappointed. My therapist openly admits that he may not be experienced enough with what I’ve been through. Is there anything anyone recommends? When I’m looking at the pointer, that’s all I can think about is maintaining focus on the point.

@vortex369 3 күн бұрын

Hi! One of the main tenants of brainspotting is having an attunement or meaningful connection with the person that is facilitating. I would wonder if you and your therapist are a good fit. Also, have you tried brainspotting by doing "gazespotting"? It doesn't use the pointer. Just some thoughts. I hope you have a great day!

@@vortex369thank you for your response. I do believe that he and I have a good relationship. Other than brain spotting he has helped me immensely. Sometimes I wonder if I have such a defense mechanism that is holding everything back and in.
