brainspotting

 
Brain-based therapy is the fastest-growing area in the field of psychological health because it has proven that
it can immediately address issues that talk therapy can take years to heal. Now Dr. David Grand presents the next leap forward in psychological care-combining the strengths of brain-based and talk therapies into a powerful technique he calls Brainspotting
 
In Brainspotting, Dr. Grand reveals the key insight that allowed him to develop this revolutionary therapeutic tool: that where we look reveals critical information about what's going on in our brains. Join him to learn about:

. The history of Brainspotting-how it evolved from EMDR practice as a more versatile tool for brain-based therapy

. Brainspotting in action-case studies and evidence for the effectiveness of the technique

. An overview of the different aspects of Brainspotting and how to use them

. How Brainspotting can be used to treat PTSD, anxiety,depression, addiction, chronic pain, and much more

"Brainspotting lets the therapist and client participate together in the healing process," explains Dr. Grand. "It allows us to harness the brain's natural ability for self-scanning, so we can activate, locate, and process the sources of trauma and distress in the body." With Brainspotting, this pioneering researcher introduces an invaluable tool that can support virtually any form of therapeutic practice-and greatly accelerate our ability to heal.

energy psychology

Fred Gallo Ph.D. has since 1993 presented  and extensely written on Energy Psychology.
Energy psychology addresses the relationship of energy systems to emotion, cognition, behavior and health. These systems include electrical activity of the nervous system and heart, meridians, biophotons, biofields, etc.
Although psychological functioning involves thought, emotions, chemistry, neurology, genetics and environmental aspects, at an essential level bioenergy is also involved. Just as an audiotape or computer hard drive contain information in electromagnetic fields, similarly our brain and body operate electromagnetically.
Energy psychology is applicable to a wide range of areas including psychotherapy, counseling, education, vocational guidance, physical health, pain management, sports and peakperforence.

What is Brainspotting?

A “Brainspot” is the eye position which is related to the energetic/emotional activation of a traumatic or emotionally charged issue within the brain. Located by eye position, paired with externally observed and internally experienced reflexive responses, a Brainspot is actually a physiological subsystem holding emotional experience in memory form.
Brainspotting ™ is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.  Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment.
Brainspotting™ functions as a neurobiological and psychological tool. It works with the deep brain and the body through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems. Brainspotting™ is accordingly a physiological tool/treatment which has profound psychological, emotional, and physical consequences.
Brainspotting™ stimulates, focuses and promotes deep processing, integrating, and healing activity within the brain, activating the body’s inherent capacity to heal itself from trauma. This appears to take place within the brain’s emotional centers at a reflexive and cellular level. It results in a de-conditioning of previously conditioned, maladaptive emotional, psychological, and somatic responses and patterns.
It is theorized that this rapid-acting therapy taps into and activates the body’s innate ability to process and release “traumatic capsules” which are frozen in primitive survival modes. This may also explain the ability of Brainspotting™ to often reduce and sometimes eliminate the pain, struggle, and tension associated with physical/medical conditions. The technique processes and dismantles the symptom, the underlying trauma, the somatic distress, and the dysfunctional beliefs at the reflexive core. The technique is enhanced when used in conjunction with bilateral sound CDs. Bilateral sound enhances the brain’s processing abilities by alternately stimulating each cerebral hemisphere.
Brainspotting™ is also very useful to access and develop internal resource states and experiences. These resources allow the therapist and patient, where necessary, to “pendulate” between resource or positive states and trauma states during Brainspotting™ to enable more gradual, graded processing and desensitization of intensely traumatic and emotionally charged issues and symptoms.
Brainspotting™ is most powerful and effective when done in the context of a clinical healing relationship. There is no replacement for a nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage the client in a safe and trusting relationship where she/he feels heard, accepted, and understood.
