A Revolutionary Approach to
Healing Educational Trauma
Developed by Dr. David Grand, BrainSpotting is an innovative therapeutic technique that bridges the gap between mind and body healing. This method taps into the brain's natural ability to self-scan and process deep-seated emotional and physical issues, often beyond the reach of conscious awareness.
At its core, BrainSpotting is based on the discovery that specific eye positions correlate with stored traumatic memories and emotional experiences. These "BrainSpots" are believed to be linked to areas in the limbic system, including the amygdala, hippocampus, and orbitofrontal cortex. Learn more here.
How BrainSpotting Works
1. Identification: The therapist helps locate a BrainSpot through careful observation of reflexive responses like eye movements, facial expressions, or body shifts.
2. Activation: Once identified, the BrainSpot is stimulated by maintaining the specific eye position while the client focuses on their bodily sensations related to the issue.
3. Processing: This focused attention triggers a deep healing process, potentially rewiring maladaptive neural pathways.
4. Release: The goal is to release stored trauma and reduce emotional and physical distress.

Priceless BrainSpotting's Unique Approach
Unlike traditional talk therapy, BrainSpotting works at a neurobiological level, potentially bypassing language limitations. It's a "body to body" approach, focusing on the physical manifestations of emotional issues. It is used successfully with those with limited language processing, executive functioning and those who simply don't want to talk about it.
Priceless BrainSpotting is particularly useful for addressing the negative outcomes of continually interacting with poor educational systems, like:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and depression
Chronic pain and physical ailments, including weight issues
Performance issues, in learning and teaching
Emotional regulation difficulties
A crucial aspect of BrainSpotting's effectiveness lies in its ability to address accumulated trauma. In today's educational systems, trauma isn't limited to major life-threatening events. It can result from:
Physical or emotional injuries in the classroom, at school meetings, and in trainings.
Chronic pain or serious illnesses from continual stress and inability to seek care when issues first arise.
Societal and community dishonor of the teaching profession, caring professions, or differently abled learners.
Lack of value for education, caring, and people living with disAbilities.
Continual stress caused by lack of resources, poor pay, poor systems of care, and not enough minutes in the day.
These events, when not adequately processed, contribute to a person's "trauma reservoir." This accumulation can have profound effects on both body and mind. Research suggests that up to 75% of medical care requests may be linked to the consequences of accumulated stress and trauma on the human body.
BrainSpotting provides a unique approach to accessing and healing this stored trauma, which is often held in the body and beyond the reach of conscious awareness or traditional talk therapy.
While BrainSpotting is a powerful tool, it's important to note that it works best within the context of a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. The therapist's presence and ability to create a nurturing environment are crucial to the healing process. I am here to help with your educational trauma. Schedule your free consultation today.
