What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a type of psychotherapy developed by Dr. David Grand to break through the barriers of trauma in a way that traditional talk therapy cannot. Targeting the parts of the brain where trauma is stored, this powerful, focused treatment allows clients to transform debilitating memories and negative beliefs surrounding a traumatic incident. By identifying, processing, and releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional and physical pain as well as coping mechanisms associated with PTSD, clients are able to channel the healthy “head” knowledge they possess underneath their traumatic experiences.

Lisa Larson, LMFT. Founder of Pacific Brainspotting Trainings

"I have searched far and wide for the most powerful and effective treatments for emotional trauma. The results I have experienced with my clients have been so fast and transformative for them that I have devoted my life to the mission of educating the public and treating those who suffer from emotional trauma with the best treatment modalities available. As a therapist who spent years doing Cognitive-Behaviorial or "talk therapy", I am amazed at how fast and deeply most clients heal with these phenomenal trauma therapies."

Testimonials

  • Paul Gebka-Scuffins

    "Please tell Lisa how truly thankful I am for being able to attend her Expansion training. It is the best, most professional brainspotting training I have ever been on. Her Expansion training should be called a Phase 5 or Phase 6 training in terms of its importance for all brainspotters. This training will transform my practice beyond measure."

  • Julia Sherrill, LCSW

    "I literally just told another therapist about the chart and how your monthly emails are the ONLY ones that I truly look forward to because they always have amazing content and set-ups. I think I have learned more from being on your email list than I did in Phase I, so THANK YOU for being so amazing and sending out the really helpful and practical information to help us serve the world." 

  • Dr. Lauralynn Noblejas 

    "Thank you for this phenomenal training! I used it with all my clients yesterday with great success. Since I had been using EMDR, I asked my clients which of the two they preferred. All of them preferred the BSP. I’m so blessed to have been able to experience this past weekend. Forever grateful to you, Lisa, and the entire crew."
