EMDR and Brainspotting Therapy

I have been using EMDR extensively, with children and adults, since 1994. It is a powerful brain processing therapy that helps with all kinds of trauma, anxieties, and physical symptoms.
Brainspotting is a new therapy technique, discovered by David Grand, Ph.D. It is closely related to EMDR and involves the client visually focusing on a point in front of their eyes. This spot is believed to be directly connected to the place in the brain where the specific issue that the client is focusing on is located. The client then processes the issue with the use of auditory bilateral stimulation, listening to CD’s that are recorded with the sound alternating between each ear. This is the same kind of bilateral stimulation that activates processing the right and left brains with EMDR. Brainspotting has been found to produce very focused and deep clearing of troubling memories. It is also helpful in treating physical symptoms that are related to psychological causes.

Brainspotting and EMDR can be used to treat:

Sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse
Anxiety, fears, nightmares
Dysfunctional life patterns
Medical traumas
Distressing memories, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Preparing for future events such as test taking, public speaking, sports performances
