Brainspotting: A Path to Deep Healing at Jump Start 2 Recovery

At Jump Start 2 Recovery in Grand Rapids, MI, we offer Brainspotting, a revolutionary therapy that delves deep into the brain's capacity to heal from emotional and physical pain, trauma, and other psychological challenges. This advanced method provides an effective way to address issues that are often beyond the reach of traditional talk therapy.

What is Brainspotting? Understanding the Basics

Brainspotting is a powerful psychotherapy approach that offers deep and direct access to the brain's emotional and trauma processing areas. Discovered by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting operates on the premise that "where you look affects how you feel." This therapy locates points in the client's visual field to help access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. At Jump Start 2 Recovery, we utilize Brainspotting to help individuals uncover and heal from emotional and physical traumas that traditional therapy methods might not reach.

Brainspotting

The science behind Brainspotting lies in its ability to access the brain's innate self-scanning and healing capacities. It directly engages with the limbic system, a part of the brain responsible for emotions and memories, particularly those linked to trauma. This approach allows for processing and releasing deeply ingrained traumatic experiences, which are often inaccessible through conventional talk therapy. At Jump Start 2 Recovery, we incorporate the latest scientific understanding to offer effective Brainspotting therapy.

The Development of Brainspotting

Our therapists at Jump Start 2 Recovery keep abreast of the latest developments in Brainspotting to provide our clients with the most effective treatment.
