What is Brainspotting Trauma and PTSD Therapy?

[@louisefarber7573]

I experienced this. I had years of talk therapy for CPTSD with a few different therapists and one day I realized there was just something I couldn’t get to in my mind or my past through talk therapy. I went to a therapist certified and experienced in EMDR (a close relative had great benefit from it) but after some education and discussion, we decided to do brain spotting. The brain spotting therapy was very intense, but changed my life. Not overnight, but more quickly than I could have hoped. Somehow there is a shift in my perception of the world for the better. I will never regret doing it and hope everyone who can benefit from it is able to do it.

This is such a great video and provides everything someone needs to know about Brainspotting in a succent and easy fashion to digest. Thank you so much!

[@susanarias6965]

Sounds like part of the process of EMDR and Mindfulness. Ibuse these approaches with my clients and ask people to stay in those moments to to process the visceral responses.

This was what has been recommended to me. I can’t afford it and I’m at a loss I’m a complete non functioning adult right now due to this

[@TheCityDweller1]

I’m sorry to hear this; I hope you are doing better now

Hello, my name is Sarah. I suggest looking into automatic writing. I believe that brainspotting and automatic writing have something in common. In short, your science eliminates the paranormal associated with this technique. I would love to talk to you two about my findings. I think we might really be able to help each other in research. Regards, Sarah Doney

Automatic writing is demonic

Thank you for this suggestion!!

Is the audio corrupted for everyone else?

[@fauzahnurullatifah3086]

Yes :((

Yes couldn't hear it was garbled and very faint??!!

Yep

And no closed captions!? Come on!

Sounds great where can I find a therapist that does brainspotting

[@stevepayne7770]

Any chance to explain why trauma gets locked in? Why would it do this? What does it serve to do this? You'd think it would be the opposite, to let it go and out. Multiple traumas could become locked in which would be quite unhealthy.

[@BartMesser-n1c]

Are there robust peer reviewed articles on the subject?

[@pandanotorious]

I now have a client who has even more trauma after a brain spotting session. She had a headache for a week and a migraine for two days. She did not sleep and dies not want to sleep any longer. Suggestions?

[@tracymoreno5994]

My therapist stressed the importance of completely processing emotional response down to a bout a 2 on a 2-10 scale. She said if that isnt achieved you can spiral, it sounds like this client wasn’t processed all the way down after finding a spot.

Audio is screwed up they should take this down

[@incawarrior68]

But!! You dont really describe WHAT IT IS.. brainspotting, how it works.

[@ErikaWolf93]

The audio doesnt work...

[@louiealcala3623]

There is no audio

[@laceyr.2642]

Is this something that can be done virtually in an effective way?

[@sama.7697]

I'm currently seeing a therapist that does brain spotting, it's both talk therapy and also brain spotting and it's virtual. I can let you know how it goes once I experience it!

[@SakuBunny]

@@sama.7697 So what’s the experience been like for you?

[@sama.7697]

@@SakuBunny Hi! Thank you for asking, it has been very good. I was diagnosed with PTSD mid-college semester. My therapist and I worked with brainspotting. It helped me process my trauma and I was able to let go of so much that my body held onto for years. I highly recommend it.

[@deanjones8652]

Why not just get EMDR?

[@mirandahankins6890]

Does brainspotting completely cure ptsd panic attacks and depression?

[@jenniferjoseph3408]

Sounds like it would over time. This healing process isnt ever as quick as we want it.

[@jenniferjoseph3408]

The central nervous system and brains ate very complex.

[@jenniferjoseph3408]

I have done this on my own. I am in tune with my self awareness enough to realize, change my own thought patterns, and continue to hold onto the belief system is when it gets challenged. Inevitably it will alot.

[@desireecooke3195]

@@jenniferjoseph3408 is brain spotting a therapy or procedure

All the talk and they do not explain what is done. They show a pointer and make it sound like a magic wand.

So.. "My name is doctor Hillary Stokes"... Speaking about blind brain spots... who in this world has 'doctor' in his or her name? (Sigh)
