“Where You Look Affects How You Feel” –

Dr. Grand discovered this technique during a remarkable treatment session with a top-level figure skater. After observing his client’s eyes reacting at a certain spot in her visual field when she spoke of her difficulty executing a particular jump, he asked her to focus on that one spot while processing her feelings. To his astonishment, the skater suddenly unearthed and worked through traumas that she’d never spoken of in her therapy and since that day, she has been able to perform her jump flawlessly.

Expanding on that insight over the next decade, Dr. Grand has learned that the eyes have an intimate and precise relationship with the brain that works in both directions. He’s found that when our eyes scan the visual field for information in our environment, they are simultaneously scanning the brain for our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and even the location of repressed memories and emotions.

In short: by carefully observing where a client’s eyes focus, a therapist can gain a direct insight into what’s going for that person at the neurological level and use that insight to accelerate healing.
