Episode notes
Eyes As A Map To Trauma
- Brainspotting accesses trauma by using eye position as a map into the nervous system where unprocessed trauma is held.
- Where you look affects how you feel, so locating eye positions helps target deep body-based emotions.
Addiction Rooted In Developmental Trauma
- Porn and other addictions often stem from developmental attachment trauma and unprocessed body sensations.
- Brainspotting helps regulate the emotional/body state that drives compulsive behaviors by processing those early wounds.
Start With Activation And Body Location
- Assess current activation and body location, then find the eye position that matches that activation before processing.
- Use focused mindfulness processing: don't force outcomes, follow what emerges and let the nervous system work.
