Brainspotting
Somatic, Deep Brain Healing
Sensations are the root of wisdom — emotion, intuition, clarity — and they initiate in the body.
Brainspotting is a somatic therapy based in awareness. Think benefits of long term meditation, watching your thoughts, sensations, emotions come up without attachment… It’s holistic because it roots the mind and soul in the body, which isn’t always possible with talking.
No, you don’t get to choose (or control!) what you feel — which can be scary, but… where you look can effect how you feel, and can lead to new awareness and deep sub-cortical healing.
Underneath the discomfort (conscious or not) your body is also really, really, trustworthy.
Heal from deep inside where pain stored.
Brainspotting can help shake out automatic thoughts and unconscious behaviors.
By using simply your eyes and your awareness, you can re-train your nervous system to both process big feelings, and come back to regulation, without getting stuck.
Stay present with your emotions, and trust yourself.
If you’re coming to therapy because you feel haunted by:
Anxiety
Isolation
Anger
Or numbness
There is hope.
Brainspotting is simple, nuanced and effective. You can heal at the nervous system level, unwind from the root, relieve symptoms and form new neural paths in the brain and body. Give it a try.
