I am a certified brainspotting therapist. Brainspotting is a form of therapy that aims to help clients process through difficult emotions or traumatic experiences. In brainspotting, different eye positions are used to help identify "brainspots" linked to certain experiences, emotions, or sources of distress. Once identified, brainspotting therapists use mindfulness techniques to help the client access, experience, and process through the thoughts and feelings stored in the brainspot.
