Brainspotting is big around here. Lots of therapists are getting trained in it. There is a whole theory and official protocol and everything. It's not something she's making up, for what that's worth.

Brainspotting is similar to EMDR, although the protocol is simpler, and it doesn't have research backing up its effectiveness, as far as I know. But I think it draws from the same theory of bilateral stimulation, which is supposed to help you process and integrate traumatic memories. So they don't have so much energy anymore. At least in EMDR, that's what the bilateral stimulation of the brain is supposed to do. I don't really know much about Brainspotting, but I wanted to mention that it's not just your T being totally wacky.

It's interesting that you couldn't identify any area where things seemed more uncomfortable, except when you were looking right at your T. I agree that it seems important to share that with her honestly.
