What is Brainspotting (BSP) Therapy
Brainspotting (BSP) Therapy is a contemporary model of therapy that was designed to serve as a medium for individuals to have the capacity to unblock and heal from emotional and psychological trauma. BSP was developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003 and advanced classical talk therapies with an innovative tool: Eye Positioning. Technically, it is a fast and efficient method of integrating trauma experiences.
This latest method purports to identify areas within the visual field of the individual that pertains to so-called “brain spots”—those related to the storage facilities of the traumatic memories and feelings in the brain. Stimulation of this area is supposed to make possible deep processing and healing.
How it Works
Identifying Brainspots
The Role of the Therapist
The therapist plays a very vital role in Brainspotting therapy. They help ensure the client is safe and supported while identifying and processing the brain spots. Techniques used by the therapist, such as attunement and mindfulness, make the client stay engaged with the processing and feel secure throughout the session. The guidance by a therapist is essential for a client to offer an understanding and realization of their possible emotional response in guiding toward therapeutic breakthroughs.
Benefits of BSP Therapy
Benefits of Brainspotting therapy for individuals needing to overcome trauma and emotional turbulence include:

Conditions Treated with Brainspotting (BSP) Therapy
Brainspotting is especially effective in treating trauma as well as post-traumatic stress. That is to say, BSP helps one identify and process brain spots connected with an event of traumatic memory—an event experienced by an individual only if they are alive. This allows access and storage of very deeply located traumatic experiences. In turn, it may mean a considerable reduction in PTSD symptoms—flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance—and general emotional healing and recovery.
Brainspotting therapy is helpful to individuals who have anxiety and depression. BSP helps get to the very source of symptoms that such anxiety and depression emotional roots are lying in; hence, it has great effectiveness in reducing the intensity of anxiety and feelings of hopelessness and improving mood and emotional instability.
Brainspotting therapy can prove very useful in treating addictions because it will locate and process the brain spots related to addictive behaviors and underlying emotional issues. By breaking this vicious cycle, BSP enables the processing of many of these issues that lead to addictive tendencies so that new, better ways of living life and dealing with it can be found.
Brainspotting is considered to be a flexible therapy; it can be used in treating other emotional and behavioral issues; this might include:
- • Grief and Loss
- • Anger Management
- • Phobias
- • Relationship Problems
- • Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence
