Brainspotting - Process Your Trauma Without Talking About It

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.

The Meaning Is in the Search

“I know that you will one day be able to answer, “Who am I who sits here? What is it that I want?” Never stop asking, never stop searching, until you know the answers; the honor and the meaning is in the search.”

Determined to “Win” Power Struggles with Your Kids?

As a parent, if you find yourself feeling ANGRY or CHALLENGED by your kid’s behavior and you think to yourself, “The battle is on! You’re not going to win little one!” DISENGAGE! DISENGAGE! DISENGAGE!

Your child is indicating to you that they need opportunities to exercise choice and display power in constructive ways, they need to feel CAPABLE AND SELF-RELIANT.

Bibliotherapy: Untamed by Glennon Doyle

I often say, “Everything there is to know, it can be found in a book.” Glennon Doyle’s, Untamed offered golden nuggets of wisdom that were delivered like punches to the gut! If you’re a woman or a mother, this book is for you. Doyle encourages us and calls us to action: “Here’s to the Untamed: May we know them. May we raise them. May we love them. May we read them. May we elect them. May we be them.”
