EMDR is an AIP (Adaptive Information Processing) Model, Brainspotting does not.

Brainspotting is articulated by the Neuroexperiential Model, EMDR is not.

Brainspotting is a developmental model (generational, intrauterine, birth, preverbal) EMDR is explicitly not. #healing

[Guidance Prof @GuidanceProf]

David Grand on how Brainspotting and EMDR are different:

“Brainspotting makes use of fixed eye gaze on relevant eye positions. EMDR uses eye movements (smooth pursuit, not saccades).

Eye fixation and eye movements are opposites.

[Guidance Prof @GuidanceProf]

Brainspotting is frame-based, EMDR is protocol-based.

Brainspotting attempts to bypass the neocortex to directly access the subcortex. EMDR accesses the neocortex with it’s cognitions (negative and positive) and cognitive interweaves.

Albertans are unsafe due to the lack of regulation for mental health & addiction counselling. The gov't has had 3 years to approve the regulation. Tell the government to stop stalling proclamation. https://t.co/MF1RzWUx75 #SupportRegulationForCounselling https://t.co/BFiWIwaai3

Regulation of mental health and addiction counselling will give Albertans more autonomy and choice in selecting a provider that is the right ‘fit’ for them. Show your support for regulation: https://t.co/YKMHJP7Ssm. #SupportRegulationForCounselling
