Gazespotting Demo!

BRAINSPOTTING is a body-brain based relational therapy that uses where you look to access stored material in your subcortical brain. Accessing this stored material allows your own natural process to unfold, metabolizing and moving you towards a regulated, state of homeostasis. Many people have questions about how this might look for them and it totally varies from person-to-person and from session-to-session.

What happens for clients is fascinating! Each client’s experience is different, but many have reflexive and releasing type responses like yawning, blinking, coughing, hot/cold sensations, crying, tingling, vivid images, or reviewing experiences. At the end of sessions, most clients report things like feeling deeply relaxed, fatigued, more focused, having new insight around their issue, and reduction in symptoms.    

In Brainspotting, we will often either use a pointer to identify a brainspot or will find a gazespot off in space. Here is a demonstration of Cori finding a gazespot and processing for a few minutes. You can notice micro-reflexive movements as her system works to regulate.
