🧠What’s the difference between EMDR and Brainspotting?🪄

Here is an extract taken from Taproot Therapy - talking about when David Grand Discovered Brainspotting through the use of EMDR.

‘During that session, Grand was using EMDR’s bilateral eye movements, slowly waving two fingers back and forth as the skater tracked them while focusing on the performance block. Then something shifted. As Grand moved his fingers to a particular position in her visual field, he noticed an involuntary wobble in one eye, a reflexive response he had observed countless times during EMDR sessions but never understood. Usually, he would continue the bilateral movement pattern, following the EMDR protocol. This time, acting on pure intuition, he did something different. He stopped moving his hand and held his fingers in that exact position where the eye wobble occurred.

“Keep looking right here,” he told her.

What happened next changed both their lives and ultimately the field of trauma treatment. As she maintained her gaze on that fixed point, processing accelerated dramatically. Material emerged that hadn’t surfaced during months of bilateral EMDR. Memories, emotions, physical sensations, and insights cascaded through her awareness with unprecedented intensity. The session produced breakthrough after breakthrough, layer after layer of the trauma and psychological material underlying her performance block releasing in ways Grand had never witnessed.’

These pairs often get confused because they can look identical from the outside - and sometimes even feel similar in the moment.

The key isn’t waiting to see how you feel after. It’s getting clear on what outcome you’re actually working toward.

⭐️Accountability vs. Shame: Do you want to learn from this mistake and do better next time? Or are you just beating yourself up on repeat? Accountability is future-focused. Shame keeps you stuck in the past.

⭐️Processing vs. Ruminating: Are you working through the emotion to reach understanding? Or are you replaying the same thoughts without resolution? Processing has movement. Ruminating is a closed loop.

⭐️ Boundaries vs. Walls: Do you want to protect yourself while staying open to connection? Or are you shutting people out completely? Boundaries are selective. Walls are total.

⭐️ Assertiveness vs. Aggression: Are you standing up for your needs while respecting the other person? Or are you bulldozing over them to get your way? Assertiveness honors both people. Aggression only honors one.

➡️ The distinguishing question: What am I trying to create here?

When you’re clear on the outcome you actually want - growth, resolution, safety with connection, mutual respect - it becomes easier to recognize which path gets you there.

Real repair has three parts: ownership (I see what I did and I’m not defending it), empathy (I can feel what it was like for you), and a plan for change (here’s what I’ll do differently when we get back here). Without ownership, apology feels hollow. Without empathy, it feels cold. Without a plan, it becomes a loop.
