About the Course
This course introduces Brainspotting, a brain-based therapy discovered by Dr. David Grand. Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing emotional and psychological trauma, pain, and other challenging symptoms. This course is ideal for law enforcement officers and first responders, who often experience unique emotional challenges. It is also beneficial for anyone seeking an alternative to traditional talk therapy.
