Brainspotting is a newer method of therapy developed by David Grand where trained therapists use “brainspots” to activate specific memories that might carry trauma or emotional pain.
During a session of Brainspotting, your therapist uses a pointer to guide your eyes around your field of vision, stopping in spots that might allow your brain to connect to traumatic memories or incidents that bring emotional distress. These connections allow you and your therapist to work more fully through these incidents or memories.
Brainspotting is relatively flexible, meaning your therapist can adapt the experience to your individual needs.
Since it is a relatively newer form of therapy, there isn’t much literature supporting the ability for therapeutic change through Brainspotting. Although, some studies show it can affect Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other forms of trauma.

Life is unpredictable, often throwing us off course when we least expect it. Bouncing back from disappointment and difficulty can sometimes feel overwhelming. We are not always able to change our outer circumstances, however, we do have the power to change our response to difficulties. Being flexible in our response allows us to shift out of our automatic, habitual and quick reactivity into a m...

You lay there struggling to get out of bed, going over the long list of things to do today. You don’t have the energy to put on a happy face anymore. An escape never sounded so good – another call-in day, a drive through binge, a shopping spree for things you don’t need, an extra glass of wine (or three). Making your partner, family, friends, your boss happy feels exhausting, but doing things f...

Do you feel like you're stuck no matter how hard you try to move forward? Our brains can leave us feeling like we are at the mercy of our past. When disturbing or traumatizing events happen, those events can become locked in our nervous system as if we are frozen in time with all same uncomfortable feelings. People, situations, or events can subconsciously trigger those stuck memories leaving y...
