Brainspotting is a therapeutic modality based in neurobiology. I’ll post a more detailed summary below, but in short, where you look changes how you feel. Brainspotting has changed my life & I’ve seen it have a huge effect on my clients’ growth and healing – often in just a few sessions. It’s intense…and highly effective.
“Brainspotting was developed by David Grand and combines principles of mindfulness and neuroscience. In Brainspotting sessions, therapists guide clients to identify and process unresolved trauma and emotional distress by locating “brainspots” – eye positions that correspond to specific neural networks linked to emotional activation. Through sustained attention on these brainspots, clients access deeper levels of processing, leading to profound emotional release and healing. Brainspotting has shown promise in treating trauma, anxiety, addiction, and performance issues by accessing the brain’s natural capacity for self-healing and neural reorganization.” (https://www.healing.thriveunburdened.org/)
In a Brainspotting session clients can expect to sit comfortably while focusing their eyes in a specific direction. Clinician will hold the space & support each individual’s unique healing.
