Brainspotting and Divorce

Individual Couple and Family Therapy Services in Newmarket

In the realm of therapeutic approaches, Brainspotting emerges as a profound method, rooted in the understanding that where we look affects how we feel. Developed by David Grand, Brainspotting shares historical and philosophical ties with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), yet carves its unique path toward healing.

Unlike conventional talk therapies, Brainspotting delves deep into the neurological underpinnings of trauma and emotional distress. It harnesses the brain’s innate capacity to reprocess and heal itself on a cellular level, operating silently in the limbic system, the seat of our emotional programming. Here, the intricate web of trauma-related connections is laid bare, manifesting in symptoms ranging from emotional dysregulation to physical ailments like chronic pain and even seizures.

At the core of Brainspotting lies the profound understanding that trauma responses are not signs of weakness but rather the body’s organic defense mechanisms against perceived threats. By targeting these deep-seated connections, Brainspotting enables the brain to forge new pathways, dismantling the grip of past trauma.
