How can Brainspotting help?
Past traumatic experiences can sometimes have a negative effect on performance. Classic talk therapy often falls short in helping an athlete or performer rid themselves of these negative effects and reach their maximum potential. Since Brainspotting is a brain/body based treatment, it allows clients to process their own trauma (i.e. flying over the handlebars while out on a bike ride), or a secondary trauma (i.e. witnessing another performer flub their lines and run off stage in humiliation), while also untangling the thoughts and beliefs attached to the trauma. This leads to relief from held trauma that causes negative effects like “blocks” and “the yips” that athletes, musicians, actors, and public speakers, may experience during their creative lifetimes.
Here is a wonderful interview with MLB standout Mackey Sasser and Brainspotting developer Dr. David Grand discussing how “the yips” took down Mackey’s baseball career, and how a few Brainspotting sessions cured him of “the yips” and brought back his abilities and love for the game.
