Brainspotting Therapy: A Deep Dive with Diana Sandoval
“I genuinely believe there is nothing that you could do or have done that would make you undeserving of an opportunity to live a better life, and I think that grace and blessings and restoration are within your reach and you can't do it alone and there's no reason to do it alone.”
Ever heard of Brainspotting and wondered how it could help with trauma and addiction? In this engaging episode of 'Beyond the Bars', Diana Sandoval, the Executive Clinical Director of AspenRidge Recovery, shares her wealth of knowledge and experience in the behavioral health field. With over 30 years under her belt, Diana has designed and managed multiple recovery programs across Colorado and Maryland.
She’s not just a clinician but a leader in team building and creating healthy organizational cultures in the behavioral health industry. Diana breaks down Brainspotting therapy, a unique approach that helps reconnect the brain and body to release deep-seated trauma and addiction. She emphasizes the importance of multiculturalism in treatment, allowing clients to tap into their own solutions rather than imposing external ones. The process begins with the first attunement, focusing on the client-therapist relationship and creating a safe environment.
Diana then guides clients through identifying emotionally or physically activating topics and helps them release associated trauma. Community partnerships also play a crucial role in addiction treatment, as Diana highlights. No single program can meet all client needs, making collaboration essential. AspenRidge Recovery offers Brainspotting therapy at several locations in Colorado, including a new program in Colorado Springs that was fast-tracked due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Diana wraps up by encouraging those struggling with addiction and trauma to seek help, assuring them that they are deserving of a better life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to overcoming trauma and addiction.
