WHAT IS A BRAINSPOT?
A Brainspot is found through the eyes, and corresponds with the activation in the brain and body.
Because our eyes connect directly to the subcortical, mid-brain, Brainspotting helps release unpleasant, stored experiences by processing through the visual field. This supports the resolution of painful or traumatic experiences allowing optimal functioning to resume. It is an evidenced based brain-body therapy that focuses on identifying and processing through an individuals visual field to help them process trauma.
Talk therapy engages the neocortex – our thinking, conscious brain – while somatic therapies (such as Brainspotting) access the subcortical system where trauma and distress are often stored. Brain-body based therapy is the fastest-growing field of trauma treatment because of its proven ability to rapidly address issues that traditional talk therapy takes longer to resolve.
