Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique that was developed by David Grand in 2003. It is used to help individuals process and heal from various emotional and psychological issues, including anxiety. Brainspotting is a specialized form of trauma therapy and is often considered an adjunct to other therapeutic modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or talk therapy. A trained therapist helps the client identify and focus on specific "brainspots" within their field of vision. These spots are believed to correspond to unprocessed trauma, emotional memories, or other sources of psychological distress.
