What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting uses the concept of "brainspots," which are specific points in the visual field that correlate with neural activation in the brain. These brainspots are accessed through your field of vision and serve as entry points to the brain-body connection, where unresolved issues and trauma are stored.
​
During a Brainspotting session, the therapist guides you in identifying and exploring your brainspots through focused attention and bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or auditory cues. By maintaining sustained focus on the brainspot while accessing the body's felt sense, you can access deeper layers of the nervous system where trauma and emotional memories are stored.
​
Through this process, Brainspotting facilitates the release and processing of unresolved emotional and somatic trauma, leading to profound healing and transformation. Clients may experience a range of sensations and emotions during a session, including intense feelings, physical sensations, and spontaneous insights.
​
Brainspotting has been widely acclaimed for its effectiveness in treating a range of psychological issues, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic pain, and performance anxiety. Its gentle yet powerful approach makes it suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Brainspotting honors the innate wisdom of the body and the brain's capacity for healing. By accessing the brain-body connection through focused attention and bilateral stimulation, Brainspotting empowers individuals to unlock their inherent resilience and reclaim their lives from the grip of trauma and emotional distress.
