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
