What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a somatic (body-based) therapy that helps process and release stored trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress at a deep, neurological level. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily engages the cerebral cortex (the thinking part of the brain), Brainspotting directly accesses the midbrain and limbic system—the areas responsible for emotions, memory, and survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.

This therapy works by identifying the physical sensations connected to emotional or psychological struggles. Through a personalized protocol, we focus your eye gaze on specific points that correspond to areas of stored trauma or activation in the brain. By doing so, Brainspotting helps the nervous system process and release these experiences without needing to overanalyze or verbally relive them. This can lead to profound shifts in emotional regulation, resilience, and overall well-being.

Because Brainspotting engages the body’s innate healing ability, it can be especially effective for those who feel stuck in talk therapy or find that intellectual understanding alone hasn’t led to deeper healing. This gentle yet powerful approach allows the brain and body to reorganize and integrate experiences, making space for clarity, calm, and a renewed sense of self.

Brainspotting is a powerful resourcing tool that helps integrate core concepts like self-worth, acceptance, and the ability to fully experience positive sensations in the body.
