When I was in my first brainspotting training, I immediately noticed that this work suited me very well and worked alongside my already existing methods. It is like bodywork without touch. It works through eye positions that serve as entry points into the processing process. In bra#brainspotting #trauma #healing #expansion #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #creativity #brainspottingtherapy #therapy #neuroplasticity #spaceholding #process #coregulation #limbicbrain inspotting, as in my own TEB work, the nervous systems of the receiver and facilitator are attuned to each other. During the various trainings, it became increasingly clear to me how refined and attuned the work is, and how you use various techniques to find the best balance for the receiver while you 'stay in the tail of the comet,' as David Grand puts it. What he means by that is that as a therapist, you must always follow the client's system. And you must 'hold the frame,' ensuring a safe environment, in other words, space holding. So, just like in my bodywork, it works with the innate intelligence and autonomy of the body and system of the client. I was fascinated, and I began to follow multiple trainings and, of course, exchange sessions extensively (see my other blog on brainspotting https://www.deep-relaxation.eu/post/brainspotting-working-on-the-root).
After my most recent brainspotting training (phase 4), I learned all the techniques I wanted to master to apply them in the context of my coaching. The various variations on inside and outside window, working with double or even multiple spots, working from activation and from calm, and now also bodyspotting, dreamspotting, and expansion. I particularly enjoy working with the 'expansion' technique because it allows you to focus on expansion, the development of creativity, or inviting something into your life. The various techniques are aimed at helping you find solutions from your limbic brain for where you are stuck in your system and your body while you can borrow the stability of your therapist's neurobiological system through coregulation to go deeper into your own. We start with a topic of choice, I match the best technique for your topic, and then I facilitate a safe environment, apply the technique, and follow your system as it processes. This way, you will make shifts from your own system. So, not only insights and rational shifts but also your emotions, body, energy, and subconscious are included and start to process.
Brainspotting is safe, even safe enough to be used with children (I do not work with children myself). The only group of people for whom it is less suitable are those with DIS (Dissociative Identity Disorder). The various techniques ensure that you can apply it in trauma processing (with 'safety belts' and working from calm in larger trauma), breaking through blockages, addressing physical problems (chronic pain, tics, stuttering, etc.), or emotional and relational issues, and thus also for expansion and promoting creativity! If you want to know what and for whom it is all applied, I recommend reading the book 'brainspotting' by David Grand. In it, he describes the development of these techniques and their applications through examples from his own practice in a smoothly readable way. You read how he uses it to help people with severe childhood trauma but also how he helps top athletes and artists through blockages.
Would you like to experience it yourself? A brainspotting session lasts an hour (including intake and outtake) and you can come to me for a coaching program starting from a minimum of 3 hours, during which we will look at which mix (different brainspotting sessions or a brainspotting session and a bodywork session) is best for you. Then send an email with your contact details and the topic you want to work on to deeprelaxation.holisticmassage@gmail.com.
