Brainspotting Therapy

Abstract

Brainspotting therapy is one of a few types of emerging therapies focusing on the brain body connection. It uses spots in a person’s visual field to help them process trauma. Brainspotting is effective for a wide variety of emotional and somatic conditions. It gets to the root cause of trauma, emotional issues and addictions. It is effective in trauma-based situations and helps to identify and heal underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression and other behavioural conditions. It accesses trauma trapped in the subcortical brain, the area of the brain responsible for motion, consciousness, emotions and learning.
