Healing Trauma with Brainspotting
Trauma can live in the body long after the event is over. You might find yourself stuck in patterns you don’t understand—feeling anxious, disconnected, reactive, or overwhelmed. Brainspotting is a gentle, powerful therapy that helps you process and release trauma at a deeper level, especially when talk therapy alone hasn’t been enough.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a brain-body based therapy that uses eye position to access unprocessed trauma stored in the nervous system. It works by helping the brain find and release emotional and physical pain — without needing to relive the entire story.
A Somatic, Client-Centered Approach
I’ll guide you through the process at your own pace, integrating Brainspotting with supportive, person-centered therapy. We work together to create a space where your nervous system can begin to feel safe again. You don’t have to “talk it all out” to begin healing.
Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past—it lives in the body and nervous system. You might notice emotional reactivity, difficulty trusting others, flashbacks, anxiety, or feeling stuck and disconnected. Brainspotting offers a powerful path toward healing.
How therapy works
Brainspotting works with your body’s natural ability to heal.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a somatic therapy that helps the brain process and release trauma at a deep, neurological level. It uses a combination of eye position, attunement, and mindfulness to access “brainspots”—where traumatic material is stored in the brain and body.
