Brainspotting- The Process
Once emotion is paired with physical sensation, points are found that the client gazes at in order to process trauma or a variety of issues. These relevant eye positions correlate to neurological stimulation and internal experience so a client is guided to be in a state of focused activation. Brainspotting is a cutting-edge focused treatment method that identifies, then process and releases core neurophysiological sources of emotional and physical pain, trauma, and other challenging patterns. This approach is both psychological and neurological. There are many Brainspots. A “Brainspot” is an eye position that is held while the client mindfully observes their internal experience over time and lets whatever happens happen. It is as if the Brainspot is a key to accessing unconscious material that will lend useful in the healing process.
Resourcing: Resourcing is a part of Brainspotting. The client and therapist work together to gather resources or support for the client to touch the trauma but feel empowered and secure when exploring the trauma so there is no retraumatizing. Resources include the use of breath, working with internal nurturing parts, using creative imagination, finding sacred spaces, using bilateral sound, and having more than one Brainspotting point (when gazing at some spots there is more activation while other spots are less intense and are called resources spots). The intention is to get one spot activated enough to effectively process trauma without becoming overwhelmed.
Attunement and the Therapeutic Process: During Brainspotting the therapist mindfully attunes to the client, remaining acutely aware of verbal and nonverbal responses. There are no assumptions or interpretations as the client finds empowerment and authority from within. The client attunes in a very mindful process to themselves. This strengthens the therapeutic relationship and creates a very organic and sacred space and process.
What to Expect: Sometimes people have performance anxiety about Brainspotting, but Brainspotting can’t be done “wrong”. It is good to approach it with curiosity and to stay curious during the process. You will be guided throughout. Clients have described Brainspotting sessions as timeless, and experiential journeys that result in greater wholeness and a sense of well-being. Physical sensations of numbness, temperature change, tingling, vivid visual memory, and memory flashes are some common sensations, as well as a full range of emotions such as peace, serenity, joy, anger, fear, and helplessness. The more unpleasant emotions are balanced with resourcing ( as described above). Calmness is most typically felt by sessions end. Brainspotting easily combines with talk therapy. The client and therapist will decide together what the best treatment approach is. The number of Brainspotting sessions needed for benefit is also dependent upon the nature of the work one is engaged in.
Quick Reference - What is Brainspotting?
- Brainspotting is a physiological approach with psychological results.
- As a therapeutic model it lends itself to getting at material we often cannot reach through words.
- Brainspotting is a powerful and focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of challenging symptoms.
- It is an offshoot of EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy processes. Brainspotting was developed by Dr. David Grand in 2002 and identifies activated eye positions which correspond with the issue of disturbance.
- Brainspotting works deep within the limbic system of the brain (deep into the lower mid-brain).
- Clients can process bodily responses to an incident with or without words.
- Each person’s experience will be different and what happens can be unexpected.
- Brainspotting encourages no assumptions and no judgments, and works on the belief that each person is unique and has the innate capacity to heal themselves.
- The therapist is trained to track what emerges during Brainspotting sessions.
- It is the client’s inner wisdom that guides the process.
- Brainspottting is an approach that utilizes focused mindfulness.
- Brainspotting can be extremely effective in treating emotional and stress-related physical conditions, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
- Hypothetically, a “Brainspot” is activity in the brain and body in response to focus and eye position. It is based on the understanding that “where we look affects how we feel”.
- A Brainspot is a physiological capsule holding emotional experience in memory form, like a time capsule. Eye positions can find the time capsule locations and hold the brain’s focus on it. When the brain focuses on a trauma capsule, that trauma begins to release, allowing you to feel it and then return to a state of homeostasis.
You deserve to live free from the shadows of the past. Brainspotting promises not just therapy, but a holistic approach to trauma recovery—the kind that reconnects you with your 'self' and propels you forward toward a happier, healthier life.
