Brainspotting

For the 1996 television series, see Ken Campbell § Television, radio and film.

Brainspotting is a psychotherapy technique that attempts to help people process psychological trauma or other problems via eye movements.[1][2] Practitioners of this technique use a pointer to direct a client’s eye gaze in order to send signals to the brain to resolve psychological or physical concerns.[2] Brainspotting has not been rigorously studied and has frequently been characterized as a pseudoscience or fringe medicine.[3][4][5]
