What Is Brainspotting?

Treatment for PTSD

Brainspotting is a body-based therapy that helps you process trauma, anxiety, and overwhelm by accessing the brain's innate ability to heal itself - through focused eye positioning and somatic attunement.

How It Works

We Identify the "Brainspot"

A Brainspot is a visual focal point linked to where the body stores emotional memory. As you hold gentle focus, we'll work with your body's natural processing - without overanalyzing or rehashing the past.You don't need to "talk it all out" - your nervous system knows what to do.

Where did brainspotting come from?

Dr. David Grand

Brainspotting was developed in 2003 by Dr. David Grand, a licensed therapist and performance coach. While working with a client using EMDR, he noticed that when the client's eyes paused on a specific spot, their emotional processing deepened dramatically. The observation led to the creation of Brainspotting, a brain-based therapy that uses visual focus to access unprocessed trauma, stress, and emotional blocks stored deep in the subcortical brain.
