Brainspotting is an innovative, neuro-experiential approach that works with the theory “where you look affects how you feel.” The modality uses a fixed gaze eye position to initiate a self-healing in the central nervous system, processing and releasing trauma, lived experience, thoughts, emotions, and other stored bodily experiences. Our bodies hold the depth and stories of our own history. This is why body-based approaches are so important for working with traumatic experiences and memories of the past, as well as any information within the “subcortical brain”—where our deeper consciousness lives. Your practitioner will provide as much information as possible to promote safety and understanding in session, as coherence between psychoeducation and experiential learning is helpful in enhancing trust, attunement, and effectiveness. Brainspotting can be an extremely valuable tool for a variety of issues—processing trauma, enhancing and expanding performance (athletics, art, music, and other “soul” passions), decreasing chronic pain and inflammation, decreasing cravings and other forms of anxiety, and supporting other forms of therapy in session such as parts work, mindfulness work, or somatic work. Your practitioner will work with your unique nervous system to promote healing with sacred integrity.
