🧠What’s the difference between EMDR and Brainspotting?🪄

Here is an extract taken from Taproot Therapy - talking about when David Grand Discovered Brainspotting through the use of EMDR.

‘During that session, Grand was using EMDR’s bilateral eye movements, slowly waving two fingers back and forth as the skater tracked them while focusing on the performance block. Then something shifted. As Grand moved his fingers to a particular position in her visual field, he noticed an involuntary wobble in one eye, a reflexive response he had observed countless times during EMDR sessions but never understood. Usually, he would continue the bilateral movement pattern, following the EMDR protocol. This time, acting on pure intuition, he did something different. He stopped moving his hand and held his fingers in that exact position where the eye wobble occurred.

“Keep looking right here,” he told her.

What happened next changed both their lives and ultimately the field of trauma treatment. As she maintained her gaze on that fixed point, processing accelerated dramatically. Material emerged that hadn’t surfaced during months of bilateral EMDR. Memories, emotions, physical sensations, and insights cascaded through her awareness with unprecedented intensity. The session produced breakthrough after breakthrough, layer after layer of the trauma and psychological material underlying her performance block releasing in ways Grand had never witnessed.’

Dr. Peter A. Levine discovered 35 years ago that wild animals recover from trauma by tremoring spasms of their body core and flailing of limbs, to complete the fight-flight they were in before they froze. Levine shows a National Geographic video of a polar bear chased by biologists (just to tag him)...
