Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a neuroexperiential therapeutic model that helps people work through stress, anxiety, and trauma by using a unique method involving eye positions. The idea is that where you look can connect to deep emotions and memories stored in your brain and body. By focusing on specific eye positions—called "brainspots"—with guidance from a trained practitioner, you can access and process these stored emotions, leading to relief from emotional distress and physical symptoms.

This practice emphasizes the connection between the mind and body, recognizing that emotions and past experiences are often held not just in the brain but also in the body. By bringing attention to physical sensations alongside emotional processing, brainspotting helps uncover and heal the root causes of distress. It is particularly effective for addressing trauma, anxiety, and stress, offering a faster and more holistic approach compared to traditional talk therapy.

Created by Dr. David Grand in 2003, brainspotting is a non-invasive, personalized approach that empowers individuals to play an active role in their healing. It’s especially valuable for those who haven’t found success with traditional therapies, offering a way to access and resolve deep-seated emotional wounds while improving overall mental and physical well-being.
