Summary of David Grand's Brainspotting

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The therapeutic approach I was using with Karen was Natural Flow EMDR. It uses left-right eye movement to stimulate the opposite hemispheres of the brain, back and forth. When we are overwhelmed with emotion and can’t think straight, our right brain has taken over.

#2 The EMDR therapy is a form of left-right stimulation that helps clients recall traumatic memories and heal them. The therapy involves moving the therapist’s hand back and forth across the client’s visual field, and the client follows the hand with their eyes.

#3 Athletes are great clients because they approach therapy work as diligently as they approach their sport. They are willing to put in the effort required to overcome their anxiety, and they are often very open to trying new techniques.

#4 I began to use my new method, Brainspotting, with my clients. It was simple, but the response was complex. Any reflex of the face or body seemed to manifest when the eyes reached a relevant position. I began to experiment with when I would stop my hand movement: when clients coughed, inhaled deeply, or swallowed hard, for example.
