What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting (BSP): BSP is a focused treatment that integrates into both individual and couples therapy. BSP works on trauma or painful emotions in a safe environment. In addition, It can find and strengthen resources and resiliency and enhance positive feelings and performance. Often, we get stuck in emotional responses and maladaptive patterns of behavior that often seem impossible to change or resolve. Through Brainspotting, individuals can finally escape these stuck patterns. BSP was was developed by David Grand, Ph.D. in 2003. For more information visit https://brainspotting.com/
