Brainspotting is a type of alternative therapy that uses spots in a person’s visual field to help them process trauma. It is primarily used in trauma therapy and for the treatment of PTSD, and has also been shown to assist in injury recovery and other psychological concerns.

The three main components of Brainspotting are attunement, bilateral sounds, and bodily awareness. During a session, the therapist will use bilateral sounds to help the client access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. People who have experienced either physical or emotional trauma may benefit from Brainspotting.
