With Brainspotting being a newer technique, there’s a lot of questions about it. I thought I would take this time to discuss some myths and truths about it.

Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy treatment that uses your eye location to access your deep brain for healing. It was developed by David Grand, PhD, while he was doing an EMDR session with a client. He noticed her eyes moving while processing, so he intuitively held her gaze in that spot. From there, she was able to process previous traumas and make breakthroughs that she hadn’t been able to make during months of EMDR.

There has been a recent shift towards therapy intensives lately, and you might find yourself wondering what that is, and is it for you.
