From Cleveland Clinic:
Stress and tension have a way of building up in our bodies. Over time, they can take a mental and physical toll on our overall health and wellness. But when it comes to deeper psychological traumas and traumatic events, we’re often left feeling like we’re stuck or spinning our wheels if we’re not able to process and heal from them.
That’s where Brainspotting comes in. As a fairly new alternative therapy, Brainspotting uses spots in a person’s field of vision to unlock pent-up trauma and suppressed memories and feelings associated with traumatic events or uncomfortable situations. By focusing on these brainspots, a person may be able to reprocess these events, heal from them and move past them perhaps faster than other treatments.
