Brainspotting
Deeper than talk therapy
Trauma lives in the body. Brainspotting helps it move.
You’ve been in talk therapy for years and you understand your patterns. You can explain your childhood in perfect, therapist-level detail… And yet your body still says, “There’s more.”
That’s because trauma is stored in the subcortical brain — the deeper regions talk therapy can’t always reach.
Brainspotting takes you right there.
Brainspotting uses eye positions to access the deeper layers of your brain where unprocessed trauma, emotions, and sensations live.
We find a spot in your visual field that connects to an area of activation (emotions, sensations) in your body — a tightness, a flutter, a pull, a wave.
From there, you simply follow what arises:
silence
emotion
imagery
sensations
memories
parts
You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Telling your trauma story is never a requirement.
Your system leads. I track you. Together we follow what Brainspotting calls the “the tail of the comet.”
Your body already knows the way out.
Biolateral music can be added to deepen focus and help your nervous system stay grounded.
Brainspotting is ideal if you:
feel stuck on a long-standing issue
don’t want to retell the story
prefer a flexible and intuitive approach
want to move trauma out of the body
prefer meditation with a side of magic
need to access hope in the darkness
Brainspotting is helpful for:
Anxiety: untangling nervous thoughts and settling your mind
Grief: coping with the unbearable and being witnessed in your depths
Pent up emotions: allowing stuck feelings to move instead of fester
Creative blocks: clearing what’s in the way of your voice, intuition, art
Feeling stuck: seeing the root of your patterns with new clarity
Relationships: shifting unconscious relational habits
Spirituality: cutting through the noise and connecting to inner guidance
