Brainspotting & EMDR
EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a type of therapy used to treat a variety of psychological challenges including trauma, anxiety, depression, phobia and other distressful life events. EMDR involves a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements or tapping, to help individuals process and reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. EMDR can be done short-term or in conjunction with traditional psychotherapy so that individuals can start seeing positive results sooner.
Brainspotting is another trauma-focused intervention that helps individuals identify and process unresolved emotional and physical pain stored in the brain and body. Brainspotting is based on the idea that specific eye positions, or "brainspots," correspond to the location of the trauma or distress in the brain, allowing for targeted healing. Brainspotting is often used to treat a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD and chronic pain. It can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other therapies.

Brainspotting aims to help clients process difficult emotions or traumatic experiences. In brainspotting, different eye positions help identify “brainspots” linked to certain experiences, emotions, or sources of distress. Therapists use mindfulness techniques to help the client access, experience, and process the thoughts and feelings stored in these “brainspots.”
