Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR therapy) and Brainspotting therapy are both brain-based psychotherapies used to treat trauma and other mental health issues. A brain-based therapy differs from traditional talk therapy in that brain-based therapies guide clients into an experiential process where thoughts, images, memories, emotions and somatic feelings stored in the body are accessed in order to heal the effects of trauma or disturbing experiences.
