Brainspotting BSP
 Brainspotting,
or
BSP is an incredible tool for expanding creative talent and
for resolving sources of emotional and physical
pain, trauma, anxiety and stress. It is also extremely
effective in resourcing a person in a way in which they
can carry that resource with them in life. It was discovered
by David Grand, Ph.D. in 2003 and further developed
by David Grand and Lisa Schwarz, M.Ed. (see Articles)
With both adults and children,
the applications of Brainspotting are many, including
strengthening performance and
creativity in actors, dancers, writers, artists, musicians,
public speakers, students with text anxiety----resolving
blocks that may
have occurred from injuries or past stress and trauma that can
keep performers from goals that are critical to
their creative work in life.
BSP is instrumental in developing the strength of the core
self and somatic emotional resources, alleviating and
clearing body and emotional
pain, panic attacks, anxiety and stress, working with
Attention Deficit and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
symptoms. (Brainspotting can also work
effectively with Craniosacral
therapy as a further strengthening support to make valuable
changes in the system.
"Brainspotting is based
on the profound attunement of the therapist with the
patient, finding a somatic cue and
extinguishing it by down-regulating the amygdala. It isn't
just Parasympathetic Nervous System activation that
is facilitated, it is homeostasis."
Robert Scaer, M.D. (The Body Bears the Burden, The Trauma
Spectrum)
