What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a transformative mind-body therapy that targets and diminishes troubling symptoms by harnessing the profound connection between your gaze, brain, and body. Based on the principle that "where you look affects how you feel," Brainspotting therapy uses your field of vision to locate and address the sources of emotional and physical pain.

Our brains, home to over 100 billion neurons, are incredibly adept at processing everyday experiences. However, in moments of intense stress or trauma, our natural processing capabilities can become overwhelmed. This is where Brainspotting comes in. It goes beyond traditional talk therapy methods by accessing subcortical parts of the brain, facilitating healing.

Why Consider Brainspotting?

If you find that past traumas or negative experiences influence your present emotions and reactions, you might feel stuck. This state occurs when traumatic memories are not fully processed, leaving you in a cycle of stress and emotional turmoil. Brainspotting therapy offers a pathway out of this cycle by enabling you to process these memories fully and release the emotional weight they carry.

The Brainspotting Process

Brainspotting therapy is a collaborative and attuned experience. We begin by identifying a specific issue you wish to explore. Utilizing biolateral sound, which enhances the brain's processing capabilities, I will guide you to tune into the physical sensations (or "felt sense") associated with this issue—be it a tight chest, a racing heart, or any other bodily response.

From there, we'll locate the precise point in your field of vision—a Brainspot—that correlates with your felt sense. Focusing on this spot, you'll be able to access and process deep-seated emotions and memories, facilitating healing and allowing for a new understanding of past events. This process not only alleviates distress but also transforms how you feel about your experiences, fostering a positive change in your perception and emotional response.

Your Journey, Your Control

In Brainspotting therapy, you are the maker of your healing journey. My role is to be fully present, supportive, and attuned to your needs, empowering you to navigate your path to recovery. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here; every experience is valid and valuable.

the Opportunity for Healing

Brainspotting therapy is an opportunity to unlock your body's innate capacity for self-healing, offering profound psychological and physiological benefits. Whether you're dealing with career stress, striving for high performance, or simply seeking a deeper sense of inner peace, Brainspotting provides a unique and effective path to emotional freedom and personal growth.
