Mount Terminus

Brain-based therapy is the fastest-growing area in the field of psychological health because it has proven that it can immediately address issues that talk therapy can take years to heal. Now Dr. David Grand presents the next leap forward in psychological care—combining the strengths of brain-based and talk therapies into a powerful technique he calls Brainspotting. In Brainspotting, Dr. Grand reveals the key insight that allowed him to develop this revolutionary therapeutic tool: that where we look reveals critical information about what's going on in our brain. Join him to learn about: The history of Brainspotting—how it evolved from EMDR practice as a more versatile tool for brain-based therapy Brainspotting in action—case studies and evidence for the effectiveness of the technique An overview of the different aspects of Brainspotting and how to use them Between sessions—how clients can use Brainspotting on their own to reinforce and accelerate healing Why working simultaneously with the right and left brain can lead to expanded creativity and athletic performance How Brainspotting can be used to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, physical pain, chronic illness, and much more “Brainspotting lets the therapist and client participate together in the healing process,” explains Dr. Grand. “It allows us to harness the brain's natural ability for self-scanning, so we can activate, locate, and process the sources of trauma and distress in the body.” With Brainspotting, this pioneering researcher introduces an invaluable tool that can support virtually any form of therapeutic practice—and greatly accelerate our ability to heal. “David Grand is one of the most important and effective psychological trauma therapists now practicing, and his development of Brainspotting is a very important leap forward in helping people resolve trauma. Brainspotting is a remarkable, sophisticated, flexible addition to the therapeutic toolkit of any psychotherapist. I know because I use it regularly, and find that, combined with the psychoanalytic approaches I normally practice, the results are astonishingly helpful. Using it, one becomes amazed at the extent to which our traumas can be detected in our ordinary facial and eye reflexes, and how, by using these windows to inner mental states, many traumas and symptoms can be rapidly relieved. Grand writes clearly, and the cases, dramatic as they are, are not exaggerated.” —Norman Doidge, MD, FRCPC, author of The Brain That Changes Itself; faculty, University of Toronto, Department of Psychiatry, and Columbia University Department of Psychiatry Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research

Emotional Healing at Warp Speed

Mount Terminus : un promontoire rocheux aux confins du désert mojave en Californie. À son sommet, une villa bâtie aux temps des conquêtes espagnoles dont les dédales regorgent de mystères. Délimitant la propriété, d'extraordinaires jardins à la végétation luxuriante. Au-delà, rien. Une plaine balayée par les vents qui se jette dans l'océan Pacifique. C'est là, au tout début du XXe siècle, que viennent s'installer Jacob Rosenbloom et son jeune fils Bloom. Jacob, inventeur de génie, a conçu pour Thomas Edison le mécanisme du premier projecteur d'images en mouvement –; et le cinéma est né. Pourquoi, malgré la fortune, père et fils ont-ils dû fuir la côte est ? Frères maudits, femmes fatales, barons du crime, artistes visionnaires, businessmen ivres de pouvoir et scientifiques éclairés : autant de destins qui se croisent dans cette magistrale épopée et qui participent, à travers l'invention du cinéma, la création de Los Angeles et l'essor d'Hollywood, de la grandeur et décadence d'une Californie en marche vers son destin. Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Bernard HŒPFFNER " D'une inventivité infinie. " –; The Washington Post " Éblouissant. On sait dès la première page qu'on a entre les mains un roman unique. " –; GQ " Je considère David Grand non seulement comme un compagnon d'écriture, mais comme un grand maître. Mount Terminus est un livre sombre, élégant et riche. C'est l'une des plus belles odes à la Californie que j'aie jamais lues. " –; Gary Shteyngart " David Grand est un architecte magicien de la prose, qui crée d'élégants et mystérieux édifices et qui se cache dans la foule ébahie comme s'il n'y était pour rien. Tout, en surface, est lissé, maîtrisé et singulièrement drôle, dissimulant des profondeurs d'un tragique kafkaïen. " –; Jonathan Lethem David Grand, auteur de deux romans avant Mount Terminu s, a grandi à Los Angeles. Il vit à Brooklyn avec sa femme et leurs deux enfants. Mount Terminus a été largement acclamé à sa parution aux États-Unis, où la presse compare son auteur à David Mitchell, Steven Millhauser ou Paul Auster. C'est le premier roman de David Grand à paraître en français ; il a mis onze ans à l'écrire. Bernard Hœpffner, d'abord restaurateur d'objets d'Extrême-Orient en Angleterre, puis agriculteur aux Canaries, se consacre à la traduction depuis trente ans (Mark Twain, Robert Burton, Thomas Browne, Gilbert Sorrentino, Robert Coover, James Joyce, Martin Amis, Gabriel Josipovici, George Orwell, etc.).

"THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS is a must read for anyone involved in or simply interested in sports. It tells the real story of what I went through and how countless athletes of all levels are still going through now.....unnecessarily. When no one else could, they helped me to recognize how my throwing problems came directly from sports traumas that were stuck in my brain. And then Grand and Goldberg had the knowhow to release it with the miracle of Brainspotting." Mackey Sasser Former catcher for NY Mets "THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS is a MUST READ for athletes, their parents and coaches, as well as for all psychotherapists and performance experts. In case you didn't know it, THE YIPS has a clearly explainable relationship to past trauma. All one has to do is take a detailed history of the life of an athlete from his/her earliest childhood, relate that to his/her history of physical injuries and throw in a dollop of shame and criticism from parents and coaches and the reason for the yips emerges with crystal clarity. These facts are clearly illustrated in this compelling, fascinating and ground-breaking book by Drs. Grand and Goldberg. Brain-based principles of body-based memory, neurosensitization and cue-related anxiety from the trauma literature clearly prove that the yips come from post-traumatic stress syndrome. And Brainspotting has shown to be dramatically effective in mitigating, and even healing, this vexing syndrome." Robert Scaer, MD Author of THE BODY BEARS THE BURDEN and THE TRAUMA SPECTRUM THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS: Beating Blocks, Slumps and Performance Anxiety for Good! is the ground-breaking book that will change the face of sports performance forever. This book introduces the breakthrough concept of STSD (Sport Traumatic Stress Disorder). Grand and Goldberg have discovered that STSDs are the cause of most significant performance problems. Performance blocks and anxiety, including the yips, stem from accumulated sports traumas including sports injuries, failures and humiliations. The authors also introduce the Brainspotting Sports Performance System (BSPS) which quickly finds, releases and resolves the sports traumas held in your brain and body. An easy read, THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS is filled with engaging, informative, inspiring stories. These case examples illustrate how professional, elite, collegiate and junior athletes have been freed for good from this silent "epidemic" of performance blocks and anxiety including: the yips, "Steve Blass disease," "Mackey Sasser syndrome," protracted slumps, balking, choking and freezing. THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS provides the answers and the cure for athletes, their coaches and parents about "Beating Blocks, Slumps and Performance Anxiety for Good!" Grand and Goldberg also show how their BSPS can take all athletes to levels they could only heretofore dream of! www.thisisyourbrainonsports.com
