Brainspotting Therapy as Trauma Healing

Brainspotting Therapy as Trauma Healing is quickly becoming more common in drug and alcohol treatment programs as a tool to address the issues of trauma for patients while in recovery. It is also an excellent extension to the usual treatment modalities used for addiction and mental health recovery. The brain and body store more than we expect and they can hold on to painful memories we thought we stowed away in the archives, or attempted to hide. Many of us often try to forget these

Brainspotting Exercises

Brainspotting exercises the brain’s limbic system, according to Andrew Green. “Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.” (David Grand Ph.D.) With a trained and sympathetic clinician, a client has the opportunity through BPS to recognize issues that are unidentified or not addressed on the conscious level.

It is estimated that 322 million people across the globe live with depression. While there are many effective treatments for depression, some methods may be invasive or ineffective for treating each individual.

Our Mental Health Retreats in California

The Pros and Cons of Mental Health Retreat Centers

It’s meaningful to know the Pros and Cons of Mental Health Retreat Centers because the phrase “mental health retreat centers” is not protected by the law, which is why each facility can differ so wildly. For example, there is a retreat center in the darkest corners of Europe where traumatized people are encouraged to feed endangered baby wolves. There are centers that cost thousands of dollars to attend, and others that are paid for by the government. Sadly, since there is such a wide

The Evolution of Neurofeedback

Overcoming addiction can be a daunting feat and for generations, there has been a traditional set of tools to treat these issues. While therapy or detox can be effective, a newer, transformative technique has been incorporated into the recovery process (and embraced by sites like Psychology Today).
