Is the purpose of the music to imbued with calming experience? Is the purpose se to have a bilateral stimulation when processing? What is the purpose of holding the stick on the spot if the perfob has the eyes closed?
In consultation with Senior BSP Trainer Dr. Christine Ranck, BLS (bilateral stimulation - music and nature sounds delivered from right to left, back and forth, rather than in stereo), are not necessary for Brainspotting to work. However, they can enhance the experience by helping the client to relax, and to perhaps go deeper and sooner.
Senior BSP Trainer Dr. Christine Ranck shares that the pointer is so very important in Brainspotting. Even if the client's eyes move off the pointer to look in other directions, the Brainspot that the therapist is holding for the client still needs to be held with the pointer (like a rock!), so that the client can always come back to it. And every time they come back to it, they will see the therapist holding that spot for them. It is very reassuring for the client, seeing that the therapist is still engaged and reliably there for them. The pointer is "attached" to the therapist, and is therefore a powerful and reassuring symbol of the therapist's presence and trustworthiness. Unless the client firmly requests that the pointer is put down, we always keep the pointer up, holding the spot, so that no matter when the client looks at the pointer they know the therapist is there for them
If he would have said his ears or eyebrows would have been the most calm, how would this be different in what comes after? Since you can not follow the stick with your ears or eyebrows.
The spot identified with the pointer is the one that feels the most calm in whatever part of the body that the client stated felt calm or neutral. This is called the ‘Resource’ spot. (When using ‘Activated’ spot, the body part that is most distressed is identified and the spot chosen is the one where the distress is felt the strongest).
If his Resource spot would have been his left shoulder, would you have held the wand by his left shoulder? And, would you have him look in that direction? Thanks! @empowermentaftertrauma7812
No, the therapist helps the client to find a spot to look at that correlates internally with the resource part in the body. Perhaps by asking: where do you look and it feels even more calm. Therapist learns by training and practice with other brainspotters.
Great point what he says about Moshe
