A “Brainspot” is the eye position which is
related to the energetic,emotional
activation of a traumatic emotionally
charged issue within the brain, most likely
in the amygdala, the hippocampus, or the
orbitofrontal cortex of the limbic system.
Located by eye position, paired with
externally observed and internally
experienced reflexive responses, a Brainspot
is actually a physiological subsystem holding
emotional experience in memory form.

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused
treatment method developed by David
Grand that works by identifying, processing
and releasing core neurophysiological
sources of emotional/body pain, trauma,
dissociation and a variety of other
challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a
simultaneous form of diagnosis and
treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound,
which is deep, direct, and powerful yet
focused and containing.
It is theorized that Brainspotting taps
into and harnesses the body’s innate
self-scanning capacity to process and
release focused areas (systems) which are
in frozen primitive survival modes. This may
also explain the ability of Brainspotting to
often reduce and eliminate body pain and
tension associated with physical conditions.
