Your Journey to Healing Starts Here
If you’re ready to move beyond understanding and embrace a more profound healing experience, I invite you to explore Brainspotting therapy. Together, we can work through the wounds that hold you back and cultivate a sense of empowerment and resilience.
Why Choose Brainspotting?
Release Stuck Emotions:
Brainspotting allows you to access and release emotions that traditional talk therapy may not have fully addressed. It helps you connect with the root of your feelings, facilitating a deeper emotional release.
Mind-Body Connection:
This therapy recognizes the intricate connection between the mind and body. By focusing on where you feel emotions physically, you can unlock insights and healing that are often overlooked in conventional therapy.
Versatile Applications:
Whether you are dealing with trauma, sexual abuse, or simply feeling stuck in certain areas of your life, Brainspotting can be an effective tool. It has been successfully used not only for trauma recovery but also for personal growth and emotional well-being.
Seeing a Trauma Therapist,
or a Brainspotter,
Can help almost any area of your life where you are feeling stuck. Together we can help release trauma, constant worry, the cloak of depression, and the negative belief we hold towards ourselves of not feeling good enough. With outcomes to have an increase of hope, support emotional regulation, and so much more. I work with clients who have come to me after traumatic events, parts of themselves feel disconnected, or childhood trauma showing up in their every day lives. Brainspotting helps you reconnect with the parts of you that maybe you haven’t been able to access with more traditional methods of therapy. We can use Brainspotting in conjunction with other modalities or solely on it’s own.
Brainspotting is a powerful mind-body therapy developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003. It builds on the principles of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and offers a unique way to access and process difficult emotions that may feel trapped within you. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on verbalizing feelings, Brainspotting taps into the brain's natural ability to heal by identifying specific eye positions that correlate with emotional distress.
The brainspot is the eye position that connects to the capsule containing the traumatic experience and brings it into explicit awareness where it can be processed and healed. As the brainspot is sustained with focused mindful attention, the pointer or spot of your choosing the information in the capsule is released and the body and mind move towards greater equilibrium.
The process of change with Brainspotting is both profound and empowering. Here’s how it works:
1. Identifying Brainspots: Together, we will identify "brainspots"—specific eye positions that correlate with your emotional experiences. This allows us to access the areas of your brain that hold onto trauma and difficult emotions.
2. Processing Emotions: As you focus on these brainspots, you will be guided to explore the emotions and sensations that arise. This process enables you to release what feels stuck, creating space for healing and transformation.
3. Experiencing Change: Many clients report feeling a shift in their emotional state, often experiencing relief from feelings of being stuck. The integration of body awareness and emotional processing leads to lasting changes in how you feel and respond to life’s challenges.
