Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful tool for treating a variety of challenging symptoms. It works by identifying, processing, and releasing sources of emotional pain, physical pain, trauma, and dissociation.
Brainspotting is able to move beyond the conscious mind’s limited capacity, to target and let go of memories and symptoms whose sources are buried deep within. Using the therapeutic relationship as an anchor, brainspotting goes into the deep brain and body, where talk therapy cannot. The mechanism that works in brainspotting is related to EMDR in that it draws upon the eyes as an access point for trauma. It is effective and can be used to heal PTSD with similar rates of improvement as EMDR with a much gentler approach.
In a brainspotting session, the client has complete freedom to speak or not speak. You and I will work together to find a spot to gaze at that is linked to the topic and I will guide you to hold awareness of your body and the locations of the arising emotions, while encouraging you to fully feel the sensations and feelings.
