Brainspotting is an alternative therapy in which a therapist works with the client to identify a spot or point where their eyes go when remembering painful or traumatic memories. While focused on this spot, the therapist works with the client to relieve the distress these memories cause, thus helping the client re-process their emotional and physical reaction to them.

A Brainspotting therapist may be able to help people with a wide range of issues anxiety, grief, depression, and chronic pain but primarily in processing and coping with trauma or PTSD. Brainspotting can also help people see beyond their current challenges.
