Testimonials

“The life I had before the brainspotting treatment was a tortured existence where a tape of negative messages played in my head all day. For me, I know I can face anything that comes along because I faced the hell inside my head for 50 years and survived. Today, my spirit feels light, and I feel as though every morning I wake up life is a new adventure. Like everyone, I still have bad days the difference is now is that I know it is only temporary. I no longer have to expend energy controlling my rage, or fighting my fear of being in the world. The only way I can explain the way I feel is that I have become the hub of the wheel. My mind is still, and even if chaos surrounds me, I no longer am sucked in to the whirlwind. Interestingly enough, through all of this I have gained an immense connection to my fellow man that I never felt before.”  Coleen

"The weekend Brainspotting training was really great! I arrived home where I live in a small rural area, and our gardener had fallen off the roof of the house last Thursday. He was taken by the firemen to the hospital, but they couldn’t find any fractures. However, he couldn’t walk because of his pain. I did a BSP session with him, outside window, and I went for the pain points, just like what we learned with David. It was magic! In 50 minutes the pain disappeared along with the trauma scenes. He is working in the garden as we speak. I am fascinated by what I learned. I want to do the intensive. Please let me know the dates ahead of time!"   Rita Tessari
 

"It was very good to have participated in the Brainspotting workshops. David Grand is a professional with an incredible therapeutic capacity. He has the ability to ACCEPT the patients’ movements, an ability that causes us admiration and a desire to learn more. It is such a receptive and respectiful position with clients.  Thanks to all of us for our capacity to be present and attentive to everything, especially for opening our heads and souls, with courage and reciprocal admiration. It was a group of mature people and very receptive with me, a psychiatrist with more than 33 years of experience. Thanks to all for your patience with me. It takes a while to teach a dog a new trick."  Paulo Zampieri, MD

"I thought the Brainspotting course was absolutely marvelous and the classes with David Grand were incredible. I would like to share about a surprise. I arrived in home in the middle of the night, and went to work on Monday afternoon, still tired. At the first session I perceived that the patient’s gaze was on a spot and I asked him to stay there. Her discourse, which up until then, had been monotonous and repetitive, took a leap! There were so many body sensations and insights! We got to the end of the session and she was doing well, relieved with a feeling of comfort in her neck like she had not felt in years. I was so excited about it that I sent a text message to thank David, especially for having taught me to not be afraid again!"  Silvia Guz
