Self-Brainspotting demo.

Brainspotting is a brain-based physiological therapy with profound psychological consequences. It helps desensitize and reprocess distressing events and feelings.

This is a powerful technique and should not be used for traumatic memories without the assistance of a trained mental health professional.

Self-Spotting is great to use for self-care, managing stress, personal exploration, learning about the brain-body connection, and understanding your thoughts and reactions better.

Common experiences with self-spotting include bodily sensations, emotional releases, feeling tired, yawning, shaking, feeling hot or cold. It usually comes in waves and can continue for several days afterward. Please take this guidance into consideration before trying this for yourself.

Can be used for working through something causing distress, and also for expanding on existing skills, resources, grounding, and meditating.

To do this focus on an event that took place that made you feel neutral, grounded, calm, or confident. Identify where in the body you notice that and then try and find the Brainspot that expands this.

Bilateral and biolateral sound is often used in a brainspotting session. It can help with processing, regulation, and attention. NB: Not everyone finds the music helpful, if that is your experience you don't have to use it. Some of my favorite artists are listed below:
