What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that utilizes the brain-body connection to address trauma, emotional distress, and other psychological issues. Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting involves identifying and processing "brainspots," which are eye positions associated with specific emotions, memories, or bodily sensations.

How does Brainspotting work?
During a Brainspotting session, the therapist guides the client's attention to different eye positions, allowing them to access and process unresolved trauma or distressing experiences stored in the brain and body. The therapist observes the client's eye movements and bodily responses to identify relevant brainspots.
