In the evolving landscape of mental health treatments, one innovative therapy stands out for its profound ability to heal and transform lives. Known as Brainspotting, this method is growing in Sioux Falls, thanks to the dedicated professionals at MK Counseling. With five highly trained therapists, MK Counseling is embracing this powerful therapy in the Midwest. Brainspotting is a key modality, and we apply it across different specializations to enhance treatment outcomes. Whether you’re dealing with addiction, ADHD, challenges in childhood, women’s issues, or need assistance with emotional regulation and borderline personality disorder, we have therapists specialized in using brainspotting to support your healing journey.
What is Brainspotting?
Developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003, Brainspotting is a therapeutic method that uses spots in a person’s visual field to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. By finding the ‘brainspot,’ therapists can help clients process underlying traumas that are often hidden from consciousness but profoundly affect their mental health.
How Does Brainspotting Work?
Brainspotting operates on the premise that “where you look affects how you feel.” Therapists help clients locate the eye positions that stimulate painful emotions or body sensations. Often accompanied by bilateral sound, which may enhance the therapy’s effectiveness, Brainspotting taps into the brain’s natural self-scanning ability to heal itself, fostering deep and lasting recovery.
Benefits of Brainspotting
For residents in the Midwest, where access to specialized mental health services can sometimes be limited, Brainspotting offers a versatile and effective tool against a range of issues, including:
