How Brainspotting Therapy Works and How It Can Help You
How Brainspotting Works
Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique that identifies “brainspots”—specific eye positions that correlate with areas of stored emotional distress. Rather than requiring extensive verbal recounting, Brainspotting uses focused visual attention to help your brain unlock and reprocess traumatic memories.
- Identifying eye positions (brainspots) that align with emotional or physical discomfort.
- Using these positions as a focal point to allow your brain to tap into and process unresolved trauma.
- Enabling natural healing as distressing memories lose their intensity and become more manageable.
Conditions Brainspotting Can Help With:
Post-traumatic stress (including complex trauma)
Brainspotting helps process and release deep-seated trauma by accessing the brain’s natural healing mechanisms. This approach allows individuals to work through distressing memories and emotions in a safe and supportive way.
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
By targeting the brain’s emotional processing centers, Brainspotting helps reduce anxiety and calm the nervous system. Over time, this can lead to greater emotional regulation and fewer panic episodes.
Chronic stress and related physical tension
Stress often manifests in the body as muscle tension, headaches, or fatigue, and Brainspotting helps release these physical symptoms. By addressing the underlying emotional stress, clients often experience a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.
Performance blocks and creative impasses
Brainspotting helps unlock mental barriers that hinder performance in sports, music, and other creative pursuits. By clearing subconscious blocks, individuals can enhance focus, confidence, and overall performance.
