Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful, brain-based therapeutic approach developed by Dr. David Grand. It is designed to help individuals access, process, and resolve trauma, emotional distress, and other psychological challenges. By identifying “brainspots” — points in the visual field that correlate with areas of stored trauma or emotional pain — Brainspotting allows for deep healing and integration on a neurological level.
Key elements of Brainspotting therapy (BST).
Assessment and Targeting
During your Brainspotting sessions at Summerlin Therapy, your therapist will guide you in identifying specific issues, memories, or feelings you wish to work on. Using eye positions, they will help locate brainspots where emotional pain or trauma is held. This targeting process allows your brain to focus directly on areas needing healing.
Focused Mind-Body Connection
Brainspotting capitalizes on the profound connection between the brain and body. As you focus on a brainspot, your therapist will help you stay attuned to your body’s sensations, emotions, and memories, facilitating the natural processing and release of stored distress.
Mindful Presence
Unlike talk therapy, Brainspotting is less about verbal processing and more about allowing your brain to heal itself in a safe, non-intrusive way. Your therapist will hold a compassionate, nonjudgmental space while your brain and body do the work of processing and integration.
