Brainspotting
Going Beyond Talk - Healing Where Words Can’t Reach
A Holistic Psychotherapy Approach to Deep Healing
Are you feeling stuck in trauma, overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying unresolved grief, or sensing a desire for deeper personal growth? Brainspotting is a powerful, holistic psychotherapy method designed to access and release the emotional and physiological roots of distress, helping you heal at the core.
Increase resilience, honor your brain’s natural healing processes and release stored physical & emotional pain with Brainspotting.
What Is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is an advanced, brain-based therapy developed in 2003 by David Grand. It is grounded in the understanding that “where you look affects how you feel.” By identifying specific eye position (brain spots) that correlate with stored trauma or emotional pain, Brainspotting helps the brain process and release unresolved experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting works directly with the subcortical brain, the part responsible for survival responses, trauma memory, and emotional regulation. This allows for profound healing that goes beyond intellectual insight.

Brainspotting is more than symptom relief. It’s a whole-person healing process. This approach integrates:

How Brainspotting Helps
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma can remain stored in the body long after an event has passed. Brainspotting gently activates the brain’s natural processing ability, helping release trauma without re-traumatization. It is effective for:
Childhood trauma
Medical trauma
Abuse or assault
Accident-related PTSD
Complex trauma
Grief & Loss
Grief is not just emotional—it’s physiological. Brainspotting supports:
Processing complicated grief
Releasing stuck sadness
Navigating life transitions
Restoring meaning after loss
Stress & Anxiety
Chronic anxiety often stems from unresolved survival responses. Brainspotting works directly with the nervous system to:
Reduce panic symptoms
Calm hypervigilance
Improve emotional regulation
Increase resilience
Personal Expansion or Spiritual Growth
For individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, Brainspotting can:
Enhance mindfulness and presence
Clear emotional blocks
Support inner exploration
Deepen connection to purpose
Many clients describe sessions as grounding, clarifying, and spiritually integrative.
What to Expect in a Brainspotting Session
A Brainspotting session is gentle, focused, and attuned to your pace. You’ll be guided to notice a specific eye position linked to an issue you want to work on. While maintaining that gaze, you’ll mindfully observe internal sensations and emotions as your brain processes the experience.
There is no pressure to relive trauma or explain every detail. Your brain does the work.
