I tried it for a year and a half and it did nothing for me. My therapist trained others and believed strongly in it. I felt like a failure because I couldn’t do “it.’ She said that I was towards the end but I felt like she was gaslighting.

The issue for me was that I would immediately dissociate and therefore couldn’t access my feelings. Supposedly, brainspotting will work even when someone is in a dissociate state. It cost me a lot of money and I got nothing out of it and I did it weekly for nearly two years.

I recently had one session of EMDR and I felt some benefit even though I still have trouble accessing traumatic events. Talk therapy and IFS helped me the most but it takes a long time and I don’t think that therapist have the patience for it anymore.
