BRAINSPOTTING – BETRAYAL TRAUMA

Brainspotting Treatment for Betrayal Trauma

Free Yourself From the Lingering Effects of Infidelity and Relationship Trauma

If the revelation of infidelity has broadsided you, the trauma is real.

The world becomes a living hell as you try to process what has happened to your marriage. Suddenly, the earth shakes beneath you, and everything you thought you knew about your life and your relationship is now up for question.

You feel lost. You can’t sleep or eat. Your body is hypervigilant to what horrible surprise may come next.

You have so many questions to ask your partner. The questions keep you up at night and inhabit your mind 24/7. Your questions are often unwelcome. You’ll never know the whole truth of what has happened. You feel like a fool. You grapple with understanding to make sense of it all.

Whether you decide to work on your marriage after infidelity or divorce, Brainspotting can help free you from the awful and lingering effects.

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting locates points in the client’s visual field that help access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. Brainspotting (BSP) was discovered in 2003 by David Grand, Ph.D. Dr. Grand found that “Where you look affects how you feel.” Brain activity, especially in the subcortical brain, organizes itself around that eye position.

“Where You Look Affects How You Feel.”

BSP uses this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the BSP therapist locate, focus, process, and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. BSP is also a brain-based tool to support the therapeutic relationship. Experts believe BSP taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning and self-healing ability. As a Brainspot is stimulated, the deep brain reflexively signals to the therapist that the source of the problem has been found. BSP can also be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience. BSP is designed as a therapeutic tool that can be integrated into many healing modalities. BSP is even more powerful when used with the enhancement of bilateral sound.

Who Does Brainspotting Help?

Brainspotting is effective for a wide variety of emotional and bodily conditions. Brainspotting is particularly effective with trauma-based situations, helping to identify and heal underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression, and other behavioral disorders. BSP can also be used with performance and creativity enhancement. Brainspotting gives the therapist access to both brain and body processes. Its goal is to bypass the conscious, neocortical thinking to access the brain’s deeper, subcortical emotional, and body-based parts.
