Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a type of psychotherapy that was developed in 2003 by David Grand, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. It is a relatively new and emerging form of therapy that is gaining popularity among mental health professionals.

The goal of Brainspotting is to help clients access and process the deep, unconscious experiences and emotions that are often at the root of their psychological distress. Brainspotting is based on the idea that where people look can have a powerful effect on their emotions and experiences. By using eye movements to guide the client's attention to specific "brainspots," or areas of the brain where emotional and physical trauma is stored, the therapist can help the client access and process the emotions and experiences associated with those spots.

During a Brainspotting session, the therapist will guide the client's eye movements while they focus on a specific point in their visual field. This may involve following a pointer or moving their eyes to different parts of the room. As the client focuses on these different points, the therapist will observe the client's physical and emotional responses, looking for signs of increased arousal, tension, or relaxation.

As the client processes their emotions and experiences, the therapist will guide them through different techniques to help them cope with their distress and develop more adaptive behaviors. These techniques may include mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and other cognitive-behavioral strategies.

Brainspotting has been used to treat a wide range of mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. It is a flexible and client-centered form of therapy that can be adapted to the unique needs and experiences of each client. While more research is needed to fully understand the effectiveness of Brainspotting, it has shown promising results in helping clients overcome psychological distress and improve their overall well-being.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.
