Brainspotting is primarily used in trauma therapy and for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as it aims to help individuals both reprocess negative events and retrain emotional reactions. During brainspotting sessions, therapists help people position their eyes in ways that enable them to target sources of negative emotion. This process supports individuals in accessing emotions on a deeper level and targeting the physical effects of trauma, which activates the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
