Description

There’s a hunger for more effective and easy-to-use trauma therapies....

...And Brainspotting may be among the most effective discovered in the last 20 years that combines both somatic and cognitive methods.

A unique adaptation of EMDR, Brainspotting is an emerging model that recognizes trauma reactions in the body have a resonating “spot” in a person’s visual field or eye position.

In numerous clinical trials, Brainspotting has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related stress disorders – far more effective than a variety of other therapies.

Clients and therapists not only find this method easy to implement and follow, and research shows Brainspotting clients have significantly reduced symptoms, including full recovery from:

  • Negative cognitions and upsetting memories
  • Trauma-related anxiety
  • Dissociation and flashbacks
  • Shame and self-blame
  • Hypervigilance
  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
  • Trauma-related sexual dysfunction
  • And more...

You won’t find this training ANYWHERE else.

It’s never been released and represents the latest evidence-based methods for trauma treatment using the neuroexperiential model on which Brainspotting is based.
