Brainspotting Therapy in Nashville, TN Brainspotting therapy is a trauma-focused therapeutic approach designed to help people process difficult experiences, emotional distress, and unresolved trauma. At Trauma Therapy of Nashville, therapists are trained in Brainspotting and use this approach as part of individualized, client-centered therapy. What Is Brainspotting? Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting is based on the connection between eye position, brain activity, and emotional processing. During a session, a therapist helps you identify specific points in your visual field—known as “brainspots”—that may be connected to emotional or traumatic experiences. Focusing on these points can support deeper awareness and processing of difficult emotions. How Does Brainspotting Work? Brainspotting is based on the idea that where you look can influence how you feel. Your therapist guides you through the process of identifying an eye position associated with an emotional response. Maintaining attention on that position may help you access experiences and emotions that are difficult to process through traditional talk therapy alone.
