Brainspotting is a psychotherapy approach developed in 2003 that aims to help individuals process psychological trauma and other distress by maintaining specific eye positions believed to be linked to unprocessed experiences. The evidence base for brainspotting is limited; small pilot and comparative studies suggest possible benefits, but its theoretical foundations have not been empirically validated, and several psychologists characterize it as a pseudoscience or fringe medicine, though some consider it an emerging therapy.
