MMP074: Expand Your Performance and Creativity with Brainspotting (Cindy J. Smith)

In this episode, you’ll learn more about the Brainspotting
modality as we discuss applications such as Performance
Expansion, Future Self-Spotting, and Neuro Coaching.


My guest is Cindy S. Smith, a therapist, Brainspotting
consultant, and executive coach. Read more about Cindy and follow
the links to her practice below.


Brainspotting is a modality discovered by Dr. David Grand. Please

The mantras from the episode are as follows:


Mantra #1: Brainspotting has a Performance Expansion Model that
can be used to tap into growth, creativity and peak performance.


Mantra #2: Brainspotting can be used to identify a “future self”
to envision an optimal life through multi-sensory perception.
Double spotting is another technique within the modality that
allows for the processing of the transformation between “current
self” and “ideal/future self”.


Mantra #3: Neuro-coaching is about working with the nervous
system to meet goals and objectives including creativity,
overcoming limiting beliefs, and expanding performance.



Mantra #4: Bilateral stimulation works as it activates the
parasympathetic nervous system so that we can self-regulate and
perhaps even integrate memories.


Mantra #5: There are “Brainspots” (fixed eye positions that
correlate to neurological pathways) all around us. With our brain
containing a quadrillion connections, “brainspots” can be
considered within a 3-dimensional, 360-degree framework.
