  If you come in late to this  at one part it looks like your having a meaningful discussion with a stick. Lol

  Great demo. A paramedic I know explained to me last week how he does brainspotting with a therapist to deal with trauma from his profession, and I knew right away I could use it for my own trauma from childhood. Man does it work quickly!

  The muscles in my body, especially my shoulders,  are always tense and my body feels like it's in a high stressed state regardless of what I'm doing. I can't believe all it took was 6 minutes for me to start feeling more relaxed and clear my head. It's like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Thank you for sharing this. I think this will be my best tool to begin my healing journey.

  Yesterday I tried that, and that was really amazing. I am 36 years old, and I tried so far very different type of calming methods, like breathing, yoga, islamic salah (sejdah), vagus nerve calming techniques, EMDR etc, but none of them was effective as much as this.<br>Last night, first time I tried this, I tried to work on a memory of mine I lived when I was 13 years old, Than somehow it turned to my relationship with my dad, mother, and younger brother. I started to cry with tears, and just like I started to talk my father. (He died 17 years ago.) Our relation with him was not so good in his last years.. <br>Anyway, that is I think an incredible technique to release emotional loads.. I will try to learn about this more and more.. <br>Thanks Matt for these... I cannot thank you enough for this..

  If I still taught preschool. I&apos;d teach this to my students. I&apos;d make a quiet and safe space for them to go, maybe provide pillows, blankets and noise-canceling headphones and teach them how to do it, when to notice they may need to, and what to do when they feel better. Thanks for this. I&apos;m definitely going to try it out on myself!

  Whatever you wanna work on, go back over the experience &amp; bring the feeling back up in your body.<br>Move a pointer up and down and side to side while looking at it, to notice the bodily sensation&apos;s intensity. &nbsp;<br>Sit and notice the feeling you have.

  In addition to dealing with trauma in my brainspotting sessions, I’ve been able to self spot for so many other things. I’m on a terrible medication I don’t need anymore and tapering was slow and had recently become impossible without nasty withdrawal symptoms. &nbsp;This has been a process of years. Since I’ve been self spotting I’ve been able to increase my taper by more than double. Now I have only 5 months left not over a year. Spotting can aid in physiological as well as psychological issues. It’s all connected after all. It’s been a miracle for me in so many ways. I’ve added spotting to my meditation sessions too.
