Brainspotting accesses subcortical brain regions to release trauma and emotional pain. This somatic therapy helps clients process unresolved trauma by identifying eye positions that correlate with specific memories. Clients learn self-regulation techniques to manage anxiety and emotional overwhelm between sessions.
