Brainspotting is a brain-body approach that helps you access and process unresolved emotional experiences by identifying specific eye positions linked the body’s stored responses, connected to deep regions of the brain. The core principle is that “where you look affects how you feel,” meaning certain visual points can open pathways to emotional material held beneath conscious awareness.
During a session, I will help you locate “brainspots”—points in your visual field associated with unresolved feelings or trauma, and provide support so that your nervous system can process and release what has been held beneath the surface.
Brainspotting emphasizes somatic awareness and often unfolds with minimal verbalization, allowing the body’s natural processing mechanisms to guide insight, regulation, and relief without requiring you to relive traumatic memories in detail.
“Brainspotting is a natural extension of the brain’s capacity to heal itself.”
