yes, you can find different spots for your Soul (Self), your Oversoul (Higher Self), and so on, to connect more easily with orientation from this levels of yourself.

my husband and I are doing this too!! It would be cool to set a time to share what we are learning through this offering!!

I like to call it Essence, Larger Self, to be more neutral, for people less attuned with religions and spirituality, and a more scientific term

in my very first brainspotting session, my therapist fell asleep in minutes. I was very distracted and uncomfortable and didnt know what to do. I emailed her after the session and asked if she was okay and if we should meet at a different time because she was very tired and not really concious through my entire session, she said she was not tired, she was feeling my processing, and I should find a new therapist and that I'm not good for her. I felt so hurt and confused. I didnt mean to upset her and I feel so delinquent if I really had such an effect on her. I had not even gotten to any intense points of brainspotting before she was nodding off and asleep. so im not sure how she was feeling my processing when I dont feel like much processing was happening, especially because she fell asleep so quickly and there was no accurate spot for me to be focused on.. im so confused

Mahalo from Maui, I’m refreshing re brain spotting cos I’m just about to take clients who survived the Lahaina fires. I just found your channel and every post is invaluable and inspiring. This one is fascinating, as I’ve been using the power of intention in my life, and in my practice for the past couple of years. I’ve also found dr joe Dispenza meditations to be very useful for deepening my mindfulness practice and for intention setting and co creating. Mahalo and namaste❤🙏🏼

Worked in the beginning like a miracle. Had a death in the family. Then I got worse .

Holy cow! It's wonderful listening to David Grand and he gets it... the world is a ephemeral, amorphous and good luck understanding it. Unless you learn to let go and recognize that where you are is just fine. Whatever it is. And the more you try to be some place you want to be probably the less likely it is that you're going to end up there.. you're not going to understand therapy and how to work with people. This woman is so unbelievably rigid, and not to mention she brings her own personal stuff into these videos which I really don't want to hear and I think it's unprofessional, but she really does not get it. She's trying so hard to make the universe into a math problem that ends with a certain number. Lady, this is beyond calculus. As he said this is quantum physics and if you don't learn to let go you'll never ever ever get this. Thanks to David grand for participating in this I found it extremely helpful. And he says exactly what I know. You are where you are when you were supposed to be there and when you're not you'll move on. But what you do need is a good co-pilot. And I think that's what a good therapist does.

Thank you for this video❤

I was suprised first time when we used with my therapist...after the session maybe 2 hours later I felt grief,rage,and anxiety but sleep well.Next morning singing in the bathroom first time in my life and gave hope...Thanks Mr Grand! Alex from Hungary

Wonderful!🎉

Love this

Looking forward to it! Thank you for sharing this information.

I have been learning alot about Brainspotting. I am interested in taking the course level one in AZ. This is facilitating.

Love listening to your journey of growth ❤️

Four years after starting this type of therapy, my anxiety and PTSD are worse. It retraumatized me, and I would not recommend it to anyone. Not EMDR either, as that was even worse.

Synchronicity- I just watched a video of Michael Talbot discussing the holographic brain and the research around this concept… then I chose to watch this video… first time viewing. The Talbot video helped me better understand Dr. Grand’s discussion here about the Neuroexperiential Model. I started Brainspotting by experiencing it’s effectiveness. I trained in Brainspotting to share it with others. Having heard Dr. Grand’s explanation of the Neuroexperiential Model here, I think I now understand Brainspotting. That understanding encompasses the frame(s) of all that makes ‘me’. It reinforces that my ‘stumbling upon’ Dr. Grand’s work is the result of attunement to the frame that connects us all. M’sit no’kmaq- we are all related.

These short lectures by David are invaluable and deserve a higher production quality; the audio is sub-standard.

Mmm but I can 'enter' my trauma in every eye position (or even with closed eyes) Do I miss the point? Or is this just a technique for people that find it difficult to 'enter' their trauma or don't know how to find it?

Me gustaría y agradecería pudieran subtitulos en español. Gracias

Sería lindo agregar subtítulos en español. Gracias

Thank you for posting this, the Neuroexperiential Model is such a powerful enrichment 👏

Thank you so much. Just the reminder I needed to start my week!

So super helpful Cherie!!!! Thank you so very much!

This is SO GOOD! I am not sure I understand everything but it sounds right! LOL

Great to hear you mention Richard Davidson! He has interesting research on how uplifting images activate the left PFC, inhibit the amygdala, and release dopamine from the brain's reward centers.

This is very interesting. Is this an evidence-based therapy?

Great stuff!! Thanks!

Lovely, Cherie. Such great suggestions. 🌞😍

Yes, these are beautifully transforming experiences!

Truly transformational!! Might be time to do it again!! Thank you for providing these, Cherie!!

Can it help forget our turn off my childhood sexual trauma?

So if you want to be healthy (or wealthy, or whatever) you should pay attention to where your eyes go when you're imagining being healthy? Then every time you try to get into the state of being healthy so that you can manifest good health, you make sure your eyes are looking in that direction which will help you feel it more strongly.

OMG this happened to me it was spontaneous. The words just came. Thx for sharing.

Is this like "positive" BS?

Is it bad to go into an exact environment where I get trauma reactions or triggers and go into brainspotting in that location?

This was great! I can't wait to try it myself and with clients.

Wonderful... Thank you!!

Great resource, thank you!

This technique has been profoundly helpful for many of my clients, particularly those interested in healing early childhood trauma. I strongly recommend it.

Thank you for this great reveal. I definitely consider myself a fellow traveler on the path.

Does brainspotting work with fear

This was beautifully said and shared! For me... when I practice this, I like to take in the connected breath and immerse myself in AHHHH!

I will try it! How can I get your news letter?

Great presentation Cherie. Thanks for sharing

Thank you very much!
