What is Brainspotting, you might ask?⠀
⠀
⠀
It’s relatively new and rather revolutionary in its approach to healing. It uses both mind and body to tap into the brain’s innate ability to heal itself, helping you process and recover from emotional and physical pain, trauma, and other challenging symptoms.⠀
⠀
⠀
Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting delves deep into the neurological roots of emotional distress and unresolved issues. What sets it apart is its trust in the brain to heal itself, creating the right environment for that process. Just like the immune system heals a cut on our skin, our nervous system can heal emotional distress with the right support.⠀
⠀
⠀
Brainspotting was developed from EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Similar to EMDR, it uses eye positions, known as “Brainspots,” which are connected to areas of the brain that store emotion. When a Brainspot is located—often identified by reflexive responses like eye twitches or facial expressions—the therapist helps the client focus on it. This focus allows the brain to process and release the stored emotional and physical distress, leading to healing.⠀

We usually enhance this method with bilateral sound, which involves alternating sounds in each ear to boost the brain’s processing abilities. Brainspotting engages the deep parts of the brain and body, particularly the autonomic and limbic systems, leading to profound psychological and physical healing.⠀
Overall, Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful approach that supports the brain and body in overcoming trauma and pain, often leading to significant psychological, emotional, and physical healing.⠀
