David Grand, Ph.D., takes trauma therapy to higher levels of healing with his breakthrough method in Brainspotting. In his well-written and intelligent tome, he describes how his professional practice of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy) evolved into a “natural flow” EMDR and finally into what he has named “Brainspotting.”
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, the mindful use of light and movement passing into the eyes can trigger an opening in the client’s interior galaxy of trauma, allowing the trained therapist to skillfully hold the space, thereby allowing the release of the trapped trauma. In a matter of minutes, the client can make a quantum leap away from their traumatic emotional bondage. Pretty amazing!
Dr. Grand writes about his own professional clients anonymously to provide examples of Brainspotting healing from various traumas: emotional and physical blockage, to increase sports performance and unlock creativity. Brainspotting can also be achieved as self-healing. This book has a broad reach and is appropriate for therapists and trauma survivors alike, as well as individuals looking to shake free of a creative or performance block.
