Brainspotting
Brainspotting Therapy at JLS Consulting Associates
Brainspotting is an innovative and powerful therapeutic approach offered by our specialists at JLS Consulting Associates in the Twin Cities. Developed by Dr. David Grand in 2002 as an advancement from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting has proven to be remarkably effective for addressing trauma and stress-related conditions.
Brainspotting helps process and heal trauma that has overwhelmed the brain’s natural processing capacity, releasing frozen fragments of traumatic experiences that remain in an unprocessed state.
How Brainspotting Works
This specialized therapy utilizes our field of vision to locate where we are holding trauma in the brain. By identifying the specific internal spot where trauma is stored, Brainspotting enables deep non-verbal processing that releases and resolves traumatic experiences. The approach is founded on the principle that the brain possesses natural self-healing capabilities, and our therapists create and maintain a therapeutic environment that enhances your innate healing potential.
