What Brainspotting is

Brainspotting is a psychotherapy developed by David Grand, PhD, in 2003.1,2 It uses a fixed eye position, called a brainspot, to help a person access and process emotional and physical experiences.1,2

Lindsey uses Brainspotting to help clients work with emotional and physical experiences that may be difficult to access through talking alone. Together you identify an eye position connected to what you are noticing, and then you make space for processing, with close attention to your pace and to the therapeutic connection.

How a session works

The therapist may use a pointer to find an eye position that connects to what you are noticing. You hold that position while you stay with your inner experience.1,2

  1. Notice. You pay attention to a feeling, a thought, or a body sensation.

  2. Find. You and Lindsey identify an eye position connected to it.

  3. Process. You stay with the experience at your own pace while the position is held.

What Brainspotting is used for

Lindsey uses Brainspotting for trauma, and when deeper experiences are connected to anxiety, depression, grief, or emotional regulation.

What the research says

Brainspotting is newer than EMDR. Published research includes case studies, small trials, and a few comparison studies, and the body of controlled research is small compared with EMDR and trauma-focused CBT.2,1

The 2023 VA and Department of Defense guideline for PTSD recommends prolonged exposure, cognitive processing therapy, and EMDR as trauma-focused psychotherapies.3 Brainspotting is not among them.3

Lindsey offers Brainspotting as one option. She chooses between it and EMDR by listening to what a person needs, and she is trained in both. You can read about the other approach on the EMDR page.

What is a brainspot?

A brainspot is a fixed eye position connected to what a person is noticing, such as a feeling or a body sensation.1,2

Is Brainspotting evidence-based?

Brainspotting has a smaller research base than EMDR, and it is not listed in the major PTSD guidelines.2,3 Lindsey offers it alongside other evidence-based therapies, and she can use EMDR when that fits better.

Yes. Lindsay Thompson Neill and Marina Fried are Certified Brainspotting Practitioners, and Carly Frascino is working toward certification.
