What is brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic technique that taps into the brain-body connection to process and release stored trauma and emotional distress. It identifies and activates “brainspots,” which are eye positions associated with unprocessed trauma or emotional experiences. By focusing on these spots and accessing the deeper regions of the brain, Brainspotting allows for the processing and resolution of trauma on a neurological level.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting does not rely solely on verbal communication. Instead, it harnesses the body’s innate capacity to heal by accessing the brain’s natural processing mechanisms. This can lead to profound shifts in perception, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Considering your unique needs and preferences, the pacing can be tailored to align with your comfort level and therapeutic goals, allowing for a personalized approach to healing.

While Brainspotting therapy focuses on processing specific traumatic experiences, it works well for grief and loss, anxiety, depression, financial frustrations, etc. Find more information on brainspotting here.
