Eleven expert trainers focus on the power of the brainspotting technique as a body-brain-based
relational therapy with reference to the most important principles of treatment developed by
David Grand:-dual attunement-the role of grounding and remaining silent-the no assumption and
the uncertainty principles- the follow the head of the comet metaphordealing with grief and
lossusing brainspotting with children and teenagers andwith competitive athletes and performing
artists suffering from performance anxietyUse of this method with complex traumatized patients
as well as empirical analysis make it clear why brainspotting has proved itself to be an
effective and patient-friendly approach in trauma therapy. Its groundbreaking discovery in 2003
by psychoanalyst and trauma expert David Grand shows how people with severe stress experiences
can leave a dysregulation and arrive at a better self-regulation and how traumatic blockades
can dissipate.The yet relatively new method of trauma therapy uses the previously too little
understood abilities of our brain as a self-referential self-directing and complex system to
disperse processing blockades and thereby activate the body's own self-healing powers.An
inspiring required reading for trauma experts as well as for interested non-professionals and
those affected by trauma.
