Brainspotting

Brainspotting is psychological treatment helps patients identify, process, and release core neurophysiological sources of emotional or physical pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging psychiatric/somatic symptoms.
Brainspotting (BSP) functions as a neurobiological tool to support the therapeutic relationship in which the therapist’s mature, nurturing, presence and ability to engage another suffering human creates a healing space. It is theorized that Brainspotting, like EMDR, triggers the body’s innate self-scanning capacity to process and release focused areas (systems) which are in a maladaptive homeostasis (frozen primitive survival modes). This may also explain the ability of Brainspotting to often reduce and eliminate body pain and tension associated with physical conditions.
A “Brainspot” is the eye position which is related to the energetic/emotional activation of traumatic/emotionally charged issues within the brain, most likely in the limbic system. It is the physiological subsystem holding emotional experience in memory form. Accordingly it is a physiological tool/treatment which has profound psychological, emotional, and physical consequences.
