What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is an innovative, brain-based therapy discovered by David Grand in 2003. This therapeutic approach is grounded in the concept that where you direct your gaze can significantly influence how you feel. It effectively identifies, processes, and releases core neurophysiological sources of emotional and bodily pain, trauma, and dissociation.
Preparing for Your Session
During your session, you will begin with relaxing breathing exercises to settle into a mindful state. Bilateral sound, music that shifts from one ear to the other through headphones, may also be used to deepen relaxation. This initial phase helps prepare your system for focused therapeutic work.
Identifying Distress Points
You will identify an area in your body where you feel the most distress or discomfort. You will then rate the intensity of this feeling on a scale of one to ten. This self-assessment guides the therapist in understanding the focal point for the session.
Locating Your Brainspot
With guidance, you will locate your ‘brain spot,’ the specific eye position where your physical discomfort is at its peak. Your therapist will use a pointer to help you concentrate on this spot. This precise focus accesses the neural pathways associated with the stored distress.
Processing and Release
Concentrating on your brain spot initiates a self-directed processing experience. This allows your brain to naturally identify and release neurophysiological sources of emotional and bodily pain. The process is designed to be deep, direct, yet contained and supportive.
