What Is Brainspotting?

Where you look affects how you feel.” — David Grand, PhD

Brainspotting is a cutting-edge technique that helps clients heal from trauma without the need to retell painful stories.

By using the natural connection between eye position, body sensations, and emotional states, Brainspotting locates unprocessed trauma in the brain and helps release it in a safe, focused way.

The Science Behind It

Brainspotting works by activating a “brainspot”—a fixed point in your visual field—where emotions and bodily sensations connected to a trauma are most intense.

This process allows your brain and body to process the trauma naturally, leading to relief, regulation, and post-traumatic growth.
