What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a powerful, trauma-focused therapy that helps access the deeper parts of the brain where unresolved emotions and distress are stored. Anne Sherman, M.Ed, ALC and Erica Smith, M.Div, MA, LPC are trained to use Brainspotting to help clients release trauma, reduce anxiety, relieve depression and heal emotional blocks that may be holding them back. This approach is effective for PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD and other mental health challenges. While everyone responds to different therapies differently, many clients report rapid relief of mental health symptoms and accelerated healing for trauma.
Lisa Larson, Brainspotting Trainer at the Pacific Counseling and Trauma Center, explains the basics of Brainspotting and how it can help create permanent transformation in a person's life. A number of the ACW counselors are trained in the use of this modality and can integrate it into sessions as appropriate or if requested.
