EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps one heal from the symptoms of emotional distress that are the result of trauma.
Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that's gained attention in recent years, particularly in the field of trauma therapy. Developed by David Grand in 2003, it's based on the premise that eye positions correlate with different emotional and physiological states, and by focusing on these "brainspots," individuals can process and release trauma and other emotional issues more effectively.
During a Brainspotting session, the therapist helps the client identify a relevant issue or trauma. Then, through guided eye movements or fixation on a specific point (the "brainspot"), the client accesses deep emotional states and experiences associated with the issue. This process can facilitate the processing and resolution of trauma on both conscious and subconscious levels.
