Brainspotting Therapy is a neuroscience-informed treatment which locates points in the client's visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. Brainspotting Therapy can allow the client to move quickly through the processing of trauma in a contained and supported way. It is common for clients to experience both rapid relief of distress and profound insights.
