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.
“Brainspotting is based on the  profound attunement of the therapist  with the patient, finding a somatic  cue and extinguishing it by  down-regulating the amygdala.  It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic  Nervous System) activation that is  facilitated, it is homeostasis.”  Robert Scaer, MD,  “The Trauma Spectrum Brainspotting
