What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a brain- and body-based therapy that helps process experiences stored in parts of the brain that traditional talk therapy may not fully access. During a Brainspotting session, I help you identify a specific eye position, or "brainspot," that allows you to access memories, emotions, and physical sensations connected to unresolved experiences. By working with the brain's natural ability to heal, Brainspotting can help reduce emotional distress, increase nervous system regulation, and lessen the impact of painful memories and limiting beliefs.
Brainspotting can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including trauma and medical trauma, anxiety, depression, panic, grief, chronic pain, creativity and performance challenges, and other experiences that feel emotionally or physically overwhelming.
If you often feel disconnected from your body, have difficulty accessing emotions, or find that talking about your experiences hasn't led to lasting relief, Brainspotting may be an effective treatment option. It offers a gentle, focused approach to healing by working with both the brain and body, rather than relying on words alone.
