Brainspotting: Supporting Brain and Body Awareness
Brainspotting is a therapy developed by Dr. David Grand. It helps people notice and process experiences held in the body and nervous system. While research is still emerging, it may support awareness, emotional processing, and mind-body connection.
Key Brain & Body Areas Involved
• Midbrain / Brainstem: Helps regulate automatic responses like fight, flight, or freeze.• Limbic System (Amygdala, Hippocampus, Hypothalamus): Handles emotions and memory.• Insula: Connects body sensations with awareness.• Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC): Supports attention and emotional regulation.• Thalamus & Pulvinar: Act as sensory gateways between body and brain.• Prefrontal Cortex: Helps with reflection, planning, and choice.Important Notes
• Brainspotting is not a guaranteed cure and does not replace medical care.• It provides a supportive, mindful space for noticing thoughts, emotions, and sensations.• Many clients find it a helpful complementary tool for building awareness and regulation.Brainspotting helps you explore your body and mind at your own pace, supporting awareness and natural processing of stress or difficult experiences.
