Where You Look Affects How You Feel
Brainspotting is a brain-based therapeutic approach to healing. Attuning to both the therapeutic relationship and the brain-body response of the client allows the therapist to provide a supportive framework for the client to tap into their “inner healing intelligence”, or the body’s ability to heal itself.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma, this gentle and flexible modality is a highly effective treatment to finding the peace and joy in life that you deserve. Many clients have experienced deep and rapid processing with this cutting-edge modality in comparison to traditional “talk therapy”.
Is Brainspotting only for treating trauma?
Brainspotting is not only effective in treating trauma, but has demonstrated efficacy in easing the symptoms of anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors. In addition, Brainspotting can be utilized to expand upon positive neural networks and feelings, helping clients see possibilities rather than barriers. This flexible therapeutic modality has proved to be beneficial in enhancing performance for athletes, actors, musicians and other creatives, clearing blocks, slumps and performance anxiety.
How does Brainspotting work?
Developed by David Grand, PhD. Brainspotting uses eye positions to locate activation spots associated with the emotional trauma that are locked and felt in the body. This focused mindfulness allows the client to access, process and heal emotional wounds located deep in the mid-brain.
What to expect after a session
Brainspotting is a safe and effective treatment. The most important aspect in any therapeutic modality is a trusting relationship between the client and therapist, where the client feels safe, seen and heard. Following a session, some clients may experience mild tiredness, more lucid dreams, or a slight increase in emotions as the residual processing continues.
