“Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.””
— David Grand, Ph.D
Brainspotting is a new approach to treating trauma (big or small).
It utilizes the visual field to work with both the brain and body by accessing the brain’s autonomic and limbic systems, which are part of the central nervous system. It bypasses the conscious thinking and accesses the emotional wounds/traumatic experiences.
Dr. Grand discovered that “Where you look affects how you feel.” It is the brain activity, especially in the subcortical brain that organizes itself around that eye position.
