brainspotting for performance
Brainspotting was discovered when psychotherapist, Dr David Grand (PhD), was working with an elite figure skater struggling with a career limiting performance block. After a year of using an established approach (EMDR), David chanced upon a significant variation, triggering an unexpectedly powerful effect. This included the rapid processing of historical trauma and an end to the previously long established block. Brainspotting has since developed and spread around the globe, with applications across human experience and it has been demonstrated to be especially powerful for optimising performance.

Brainspotting is understood to work by "identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms" (brainspotting.com).
