What is Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting, developed by Dr. David Grand, is a powerful, body-based psychotherapy approach that helps you access and process deep-seated trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and emotional pain through specific eye positions.
How Does Brainspotting Work?
Brainspotting uses “brain spots” — specific eye positions that correlate with stored trauma in the brain and body. Your therapist gently guides you to locate these points, allowing subconscious material to surface and release safely.
- Eye Positioning: Finding the precise brainspot that activates your trauma response.
- Processing: Mindfully noticing thoughts, emotions, and body sensations while holding the position.
- Integration: Allowing the nervous system to complete the healing cycle and restore safety.
Benefits of Brainspotting Therapy
- Rapid relief from trauma and PTSD symptoms
- Release of emotional and physical (somatic) tension
- Improved emotional regulation and self-awareness
- Effective for performance anxiety and creative blocks
- Gentle, non-invasive, and highly adaptable
- Can be seamlessly combined with other modalities
Who Can Benefit from Brainspotting in Lancaster?

What to Expect in a Brainspotting Session
