Brainspotting
Where you look effects how you feel
​
Brainspotting (BSP) is a revolutionary brain-body power treatment for healing from stress, anxiety and depression naturally, as well as expanding performance and creativity. It is extremely effective for healing trauma, releasing mental blocks, and maximizing creative potential.
Have you ever noticed yourself staring at some spot on the floor or wall or ceiling? Have you noticed yourself looking away or up or somewhere else when really thinking about something you are saying or want to say, particularly when the subject is loaded emotionally? You found a brainspot!
Brainspotting and the treatment of trauma
Imagine living a life where you are fully present, peaceful and balanced; where past hurts and painful experiences are no longer impacting your current relationships and circumstances. A life that feels all your own. I am trained in Brainspotting, a powerful method to release trauma and emotionally charged experiences that are stored in the brain and body. Brainspotting can help you deeply process and fully release the negative thoughts, unhealthy coping, emotional pain, and difficult past experiences that keep you from thriving in the present.
What's Brainspotting? How does it work?
This powerful form of therapy is grounded in research around the role of the deep brain in storing traumatic experiences. Traditional therapies, such as CBT and talk therapy primarily access the cerebral cortex. Trauma and our emotions are stored deep in the brain's limbic system and subcortex in our midbrain. Based on the idea that “Where you look affects how you feel”, Brainspotting accesses the subcortical brain through the use of a "spot" in the field of vision that allows us to bypass the neocortex directly into the subcortex and access our own healing potential. It is this “brainspot” that offers a window into the deep brain structure.
​
Brainspotting helps focus and process emotional and somatic problems held in parts of the brain and body that may be otherwise inaccessible to the conscious mind, helping you develop a healthier relationship with your body and your emotional reactions to stress. In sessions, Biolateral sound may be incorporated to further harness the brain’s natural self-healing capacities. Brainspotting clients find lasting relief from the physiological effects of trauma, stress and related issues, feeling more grounded, secure, self-confident, and connected.
Why choose Brainspotting?
You have so many different modalities to choose from when picking a therapy, so WHY brainspotting? Because it works! As a therapists, I really love the insights offered by going to see my own therapist. Then one day I heard about this new, kinda funny thing called, "brainspotting." Curiosity got to me so I tried it out. I was HOOKED! I made more connections in the first few sessions than I had in years of my own therapy. I felt grounded, centered, and whole. IT CHANGED MY LIFE and it can change your life as well.
