What is Brainspotting Therapy?
“Where you look affects how you feel”- Developer and Trainer, David Grand, Ph.D
Brainspotting is an effective, gentle, holistic neuroscience brain-body somatic therapy that helps you access and heal emotional wounds stored deep in your nervous system.
Brainspotting focuses on specific “spots” in your visual field, gently unlocking unprocessed trauma and stuck emotional patterns — allowing the person to feel faster healing in a shorter amount of time,
Healing works without even needing to talk about it.—Yes, healing with Brainspotting does not require the person to relive or recount everything in detail.
It’s a gentle, mindful somatic method that allows your brain and body to naturally do the healing work we were designed and wired for.
This helps you feel deep relief, transformation, a sense of lightness, safety, and more like yourself again.
The Brainspotting Process
2. Locate the Brainspot areas and allow for Reprocessing to occur
Gentle, guided release of stored emotional and physical pain that’s been stored in the body. Here, we are gently guided into the brain’s deeper subcortical layers — where trauma and emotional memory often live, releasing the body tension that’s been stored.
Goal Setting and Focused Targeting
We will discuss what you’d like work on and find relief from on a specific issue, emotion, memory, or body sensation.
Example: “Tightness in chest, reactivity whenever I think about disappointing others, particularly my co-workers, my parents, my family.”
The Healing Occurs
3. Deep, Focused Processing
This is where the magic of our natural brain and body occur with Brainspotting. In this stage, we process the emotions, thoughts, and memories that you are wanting to heal. As the brain and body heal in it’s own intuitive way, we feel emotional, calm, intense, even surprised — as this often leads to shifts in perspective, deep relief, or new insights.
4. Integration
Once the processing is over, we check in to get grounded and integrate new perspectives and insights moving foward. Feeling lighter, clearer, and more regulated afterwards is common.
"The only person you are destined to become
is the person you decide to be" — Ralph Waldo Emerson
