There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all therapeutic intervention. One of the reasons for the uniqueness of human minds may be the patterns in which emotional experiences are stored in the brain.
As a result, talk therapies may not be beneficial for one person while they may work wonderfully for another. In such cases, to assist their clients in better understanding themselves and their emotions, therapists use brain-based and biological therapeutic approaches. Therapy should be customized to fit each patient’s unique individual needs and expectations. This is where Brainspotting comes in.
Brainspotting therapy is a new and innovative treatment that can help with many mental health issues, including anxiety, trauma, mental blocks, negative emotions, and others.
It’s important to note that out of EMDR, CBT, and DBT, Brainspotting was found to be the most beneficial. Brainspotting is a gentle healing technique that doesn’t re-traumatize you by replaying past events.1
The Brainspotting technique, whose roots in EMDR, operates similarly when reprocessing the bad memories stored in the mind. It’s a quick and effective treatment that provides relief in the short term.
Once the brainspot is activated, the negative emotion, thought, memory, or experience will be released. This allows you to process, resolve, conquer, and recover rapidly. The ultimate goal of Brainspotting is to help you regain control over your life and emotions.
Brainspotting therapy has been shown to provide excellent relief for anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression and reduce the symptoms associated with these mental conditions. Because of its model of therapy, which is well known for its fast results and positive outcome, therapists are increasingly adopting Brainspotting to treat mental and psychological issues.3
Due to its effectiveness, it’s also used as adjuvant therapy in managing physical pain. The Brainspotting process also addresses issues like poor focus, low motivation, tension, and emotional disorders.
Most Brainspotting therapies have been used to treat PTSD and anxiety, but nothing is out of bounds when it comes to Brainspotting. This modality can work with a variety of different psychological issues! It’s been generally stated that Brainspotting can be used to address creativity blocks, trauma, or negative emotions.
Other types of issues Brainspotting helps with include:
This is a common question asked following a Brainspotting session. For starters, it worked because you did it! Following a Brainspotting session, you may have the following feelings:
Of course, each client’s reaction to a Brainspotting session is different. Most issues won’t be resolved in a single Brainspotting session, but they’ll be resolved over consistent treatment and dedication.
Rather than forcing the client to relive the trauma, Brainspotting works by tuning into the brain’s limbic systems to help release painful trauma from memory.
Brainspotting therapists use a pointer to slowly direct clients’ eyes across their field of vision to discover appropriate “brainspots.” When a brainspot is found, and the client’s eye position is fixed on it, the client can feel the distress and emotional and physical pain that the brainspot has opened. This then leads to healing.4
A qualified Brainspotting therapist does the Brainspotting treatment as part of a therapy plan. Throughout the procedure, the therapist is looking for small reflexive signals that indicate the presence of a brainspot:
The following are some of the procedures that take place during a Brainspotting treatment:
In most cases, after therapy sessions, the Brainspotting therapist will most likely spend some time calming things down and discussing what transpired.
During the Brainspotting session, the brain is rebooting, re-stabilizing, and resourcing itself, and after the therapy session has ended, you may feel:
