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" metaphor dealing with grief and loss using brainspotting with children and teenagers and with competitive athletes and performing artists suffering from performance anxiety Use 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.
