Brainspotting is seen as providing deeper and more accelerated results that are more powerful and comprehensive than other techniques, including EMDR. But what is it exactly? Technically, brainspotting integrates oculomotor skills with information processing skills, which, in turn, helps your brain sort, organize and process trauma, negative cognitive experiences and difficult emotions associated with life events. This therapeutic technique allows us to bypass our neo-cortex and access our self-healing potential. It “promotes organization and integration through coalescence of hitherto separated information files”; “a Brainspot is a stored oculomotor orientation to a traumatic experience which has failed to integrate” (Corrigan & Grand 2013). In other words, brainspotting is a form of vision therapy that involves specific eye and brain activities that is designed to improve both fixation and rapid eye movement (as in reading). Brainspotting is a brain/body focused treatment that identifies, processes and releases stored neurophysicological trauma and pain.that, if left untreated, ultimately results in a wide range of symptoms, as emotional pain accumulates and is then stored in self-contained pockets within our brains. These pockets are like frozen time capsules that are storing negative energy within the deep regions of your brain, hence the term ‘brain spot’. A brain spot is accessed through eye positioning that correlates with these “pockets” of stored negative energy.
