Brainspotting - Process Your Trauma Without Talking About It
I’m thrilled to share that I have officially completed Phase 1 of Brainspotting training and am now offering this incredible somatic modality to my clients!
What is Brainspotting? Brainspotting is a somatic (body-based) psychotherapy that uses our visual field to locate "spots" where we hold trauma, emotional distress, or physical activation. Because our eyes are deeply connected to the midbrain, this process allows us to bypass the analytical, talking brain and access the deeper areas where traumatic memories are actually stored.
During a session, focusing on a specific brainspot can be an intense experience as the brain and body process the memory. However, clients generally experience a profound sense of relief and release afterward—essentially "clearing" the trauma from the nervous system. And progress can be made after even a single session.
Why it’s a game-changer:
No need to retell the story: The beauty of Brainspotting is that you can share as much or as little of your experience as you want. The healing happens either way.
Beyond talk therapy: It is a powerful option if you've tried traditional talk therapy but feel like you've hit a wall in your healing.
A gentle entry point: It offers a safe, hopeful path forward if you’ve felt hesitant or anxious about sharing your story out loud.
If you or a loved one are curious about what Brainspotting can do for you, please reach out. This modality truly has the potential to be a game-changer!
