What will be an ideal response?


A brainspot is the eye position connected to the emotional activation of a traumatic/emotionally charged issue within the brain, most likely in the amygdala, the hippocampus, or the orbitofrontal cortex of the limbic system. A brainspot is “actually a physiological subsystem holding emotional experience in memory form. When a brainspot is stimulated, the deep brain reflexively signals the therapist that an area of significance has been located”
