You’ve done talk therapy and you know so much about your trauma… but you aren’t feeling that much better. This is because trauma is stored in parts of your brain that can’t be accessed by talking alone. In order to go deeper, we need to access your subconscious.

Brainspotting reaches your subcortical brain, below your “analytical” brain. You will connect to emotions and parts of self that have been harder to access. This enables you to release stuck emotion and gain deeper insight and perspectives.

We locate a spot in your vision that corresponds to an area of activation (emotions, sensations) in your body. Then we sit for periods of time in sacred silence. Telling your trauma story is not a requirement.

Therapists “follow the tail of the comet.” This means that I trust your body to lead the process. You may have spontaneous memories, sensations and insights surface. I periodically check in to ask questions about your internal experience. We can use biolateral music to help you focus.

It is ideal for clients who:

have felt stuck on an issue

don’t want to talk about it

prefer a flexible and intuitive approach

want to process trauma more quickly

prefer meditation with a side of magic
