DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BRAINSPOTTING?

You may not know this but the direction in which you look affects how you feel, therefore depending on the direction you are looking, you will experience things differently. A Brainspot is the eye position that is directly correlated to the energetic and emotional activation of stored emotional material in the brain. As you tune into something you feel strongly about, the difference between where you look will be more pronounced, thus allowing an individual and their counselor to identify the brain spot related to a particular memory. Brainspotting connects with the body’s innate self-scanning ability and its ability to process and release emotional systems that can be frozen in more primitive survival modes, such as fight, flight and freeze. Processing from a Brainspot can create profound release and healing. 

Brainspotting is a body focused therapeutic modality in which the emotional distress will be identified in the body through an individual’s felt sense. The Brainspotting process seems to stimulate the body’s inherent ability to heal itself from past pain and trauma, often out of reach by the conscious mind and it’s limited cognitive/language abilities. When used with other therapeutic modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting can be a useful tool for accessing and treating a variety of somatic and emotionally based conditions. It can lead to rapid resolution of psychological and physical distress and enhance an individual’s quality of life.
