What if the nervous system could reveal the way forward?
Learn a clinical shift toward greater depth, precision, and attunement.
Much of traditional psychotherapy is built around interpretation, diagnosis, symptom categories, and consciously constructed narratives about what a client is experiencing.
But trauma does not always organize itself according to those structures.
Clients often carry experiences that exist beneath language and outside conscious awareness—held in the nervous system through emotion, physiology, reflexive patterns, implicit memory, and survival responses that cannot always be reached through linear analysis alone.
In many cases, the harder we attempt to direct, explain, or control the process, the further we move from the experience itself.
This is the clinical shift at the heart of Brainspotting.
Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting emerged from a simple but profound observation: where we look affects how we feel.
Specific points in a client’s visual field can function as direct pathways into deeper brain and body processes—allowing trauma, attachment wounds, emotional pain, and survival responses to emerge and reorganize organically.
Rather than imposing a predetermined therapeutic structure onto the client, Brainspotting works within the Neuroexperiential Model: a flexible, attunement-based framework that follows how the nervous system naturally organizes around healing, processing, and integration.
The emphasis shifts from leading the process… to recognizing and supporting what is already trying to unfold.
For clinicians, this can radically change the experience of trauma work.
Instead of trying to force insight, manage symptoms, or prematurely organize meaning, therapists learn how to track activation, attunement, eye position, nervous system regulation, and embodied processing in real time—often accessing material that conventional approaches struggle to reach directly.
The result is a way of working that is deeply experiential, relational, and responsive to the intelligence of the client’s own system.
In this 5-part live training series, Dr. David Grand will guide participants through the foundations and clinical applications of Brainspotting through live teaching, demonstrations, and real-time clinical analysis—offering an inside look at how deep processing unfolds when we learn to work with the nervous system, rather than attempting to control it.

What therapists say about Brainspotting…
“Brainspotting has transformed the way I work with most of my clients.
It has changed my views about talking therapies and accessing inner processes without the need for a lot of dialogue.”
––Sarah
“Before I began learning about Brainspotting, I felt entrenched in the medical model. I was trying to free myself from the constraints of linear thinking about therapy.
Now I have a framework to deeply attune, to be with uncertainty and constant evidence of the healing process of Brainspotting.
I was not expecting the fulfillment from this radical change nor was I expecting my own healing.”
––Clare
“Brainspotting has enabled me to help so many clients with differing issues.
It truly is a fantastic tool to have in your toolbox. Brainspotting enables me to really start the healing process, freeing clients of trapped emotions and helping them start to process their traumas.
It is an integral part of the therapy I undertake and I absolutely love this modality!”
––Victoria
“I learned to trust the healing power of the human brain…
… and it helped me develop a new layer of presence that is so essential in trauma work.”
––Philip

Frequently Asked Questions
How can we help you?
Do I need to be a therapist to benefit from this training?
This training is designed primarily for therapists, counselors, trauma clinicians, and helping professionals who want to better understand Brainspotting and its clinical applications.
That said, some non-therapists may also find value in learning about the nervous system, trauma processing, focused presence, and Dr. Grand’s Neuroexperiential Model.
Because this course includes material related to trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, and deep emotional processing, we encourage non-therapists who choose to attend to have therapeutic support in place in case the material becomes activating.
Please note that this training is educational and is not a substitute for therapy, consultation, supervision, or formal Brainspotting certification. If you are currently working with a mental health professional, we encourage you to share the program with them as well.
How long can I access the course materials?

Following each demonstration, Dr. Grand will offer debrief and analysis, helping participants understand what unfolded in the session and how Brainspotting works through eye position, attunement, nervous system tracking, pacing, activation, regulation, and deep processing.
Each live call will also include space for Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and learn directly from Dr. Grand.
