BRAIN SPOTTING
Brainspotting is a focused treatment method that aims to alleviate symptoms caused by traumatic memories. Treatment involves:
Identifying triggers, or stimuli that remind the client of their trauma, perhaps unconsciously, and upset them as a result.
Exploring why these triggers produce the result they do, by thinking through the significance they hold to past traumas.
Releasing the trigger by reprocessing the trauma memory and allowing for a new, less upsetting understanding in its place
