Brainspotting Therapy
Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful, brain-body therapy that helps individuals process and release trauma. It identifies “brainspots” – eye positions linked to memories, stress, negative beliefs, and distressing emotions – to facilitate deep healing beyond talk therapy.

How can Brainspotting improve my life?
By bypassing the thinking brain and accessing where trauma is stored, Brainspotting allows for rapid, deep healing, helping you move through blocks and live with more clarity, confidence, and calm.
What does a typical Brainspotting session involve?
You’ll work with your therapist to identify a brainspot using eye positioning, body awareness, and emotional cues. You’ll then enter a focused processing state, often with music, while your therapist holds a non-invasive, attuned presence.
What can I expect during Brainspotting sessions?
Expect a quiet, focused space where your body leads the healing. You may notice physical sensations, emotions, memories, or imagery surface. There’s no pressure to talk—processing happens internally.
How many Brainspotting sessions are typically needed?
It varies by individual. Some people experience meaningful shifts after just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing weekly work, especially when addressing complex trauma.
Is Brainspotting suitable for everyone?
Yes, Brainspotting is effective for children, teens, and adults. It’s especially helpful for individuals who feel stuck in talk therapy or are highly sensitive or body-aware.
