  • Learn to recognize and integrate resources and strengths

  • Reduce judgment towards self and others

Brainspotting

Brainspotting (BSP), also known as Brain-Body based Therapy, is discovered by Dr. David Grand. It is a therapeutic approach that uses eye movements to help people process difficult emotions and traumatic experiences. It's based on the idea that where you look affects how you feel. Below is the link to the Brainspotting website, along with a few videos that provide brief introductions to key aspects of this modality.
