Brainspotting taps into our brains ability to process and heal emotional woulds in a way that is faster and often more effective than traditional talk therapy methods. By going directly to the area of the brain that stores our trauma, memories, and emotions, many clients experience their desired outcome (relief, closure, clarity, ….) at a quicker rate than other weekly modalities. An intensive experience can also be a good choice for folks who want to heal a specific issue and have some time constraints.

Brainspotting is a somatic trauma modality and recognizes what healers have been saying for centuries: our emotions and trauma are stored in the body. By addressing both the emotional and physiological aspects of your experience, it can help you release tension, pain, and overall promote a sense of well-being felt in both our tissues, muscles, and soul.

In many cases, unresolved trauma is stored in our subconscious level. Brainspotting’s main goal of accessing our neural networks allows the processing and level of resolution to reach a place that other modalities may not be able too. Often, we are required to carry on with our day to day life and responsibilities which push the trauma and its impact deeper and deeper into our subconscious. The neuroscience behind this modality allows us to heal both within the session, as well as post session processing the continues after our brain is now re-engaged in our natural processing.

Brainspotting doesn’t require a recount and retelling of your trauma narrative. This nonverbal approach can help you release emotions that may be too deep, or too painful to express. Especially with ancestral wounds and trauma across different languages, the nonverbal process allows direct access to deeper healing without needing to translate between languages- which often may also alter the expression.

*in session, it is completely up to YOU how much or how little you verbally express to me.
