Brainspotting

"Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and extinguishing it by downregulating the amygdala. It isn't just PNS activation that is facilitated, it's homeostasis."
Robert Scaer, MD, The Trauma Spectrum

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with BioLateral sound, which is deep, direct, powerful yet focused and containing. Brainspotting identifies activated eye positions designated as Brainspots. Located through either one or both eyes, Brainspots are observed from either the "inside window" of the client's felt sense and/or the "outside window" of the client's reflexive responses (i.e., blinks, eye twitches or wobbles, pupil dilation, quick breaths and subtle body shifts).
