Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. This is a psychosensory modality.

Brainspotting is positivistic by nature. It believes that, given the right circumstances, any human system can heal itself from inside. This healing is promoted by the Dual Attunement Frame. Brainspotting aims to ground relational attunement in brain science. This attempts to avoid all assumptions (the Uncertainty Principle) and have all that we do be based on scientific knowledge and fact.

Attuned, mindful, empathic, witnessing presence promotes this innate healing driven by the survival instinct. Intervention is to be used only when necessary, and intended to be withdrawn as soon as the client self-healing takes over. The healing is seen as in the client, not in the facilitator/practitioner.

There is no such thing as too much attunement, as this form of presence needs to be sensitively matched in the moment to the client need for both intimacy and space. The practitioners job with mindful awareness helps to hold loving space with  empathy and compassion.

Brainspotting is developed as an open, integrative model with complementary approaches and techniques. Brainspotting practitioners are mindful of techniques that are contradictory reflected by traditional talk therapy  and too much reliance on intervention, and lack of connection to neurobiology.
