For FOR INDIVIDUALS NEEDING TO PROCESS TRAUMA & hard experiences

Brainspotting

You've been in therapy. You've talked it through, probably more than a few times and you're still feeling stuck. That happens more than people think, and it doesn't mean therapy failed you. Some things are hard to reach through talking alone.

Brainspotting works a different way. It's a trauma therapy that goes past the thinking brain to the part that actually holds the feeling.

WHAT IS IT?

“Where you look affects how you feel”

Brainspotting is a somatic, brain-based approach that works with the subcortical brain; the part of your brain where trauma, fear, and stuck emotional patterns are actually stored. By locating specific points in your visual field, your therapist helps your brain find and begin to process what has been held there, gently, and at a pace your nervous system can actually handle.

HOW IT WORKS

Less talking. Less Thinking. More processing.

Brainspotting is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. The structure and number of sessions vary based on your clinical needs, your readiness, and what surfaces in the work. Your therapist will guide the process and make recommendations as you go.

What a session looks like

Your therapist will help you locate a brainspot, a specific point in your visual field that corresponds to where a particular experience or activation is held in your body and brain. From there, the work happens beneath the surface. You do not have to narrate every detail of what you have been through and your therapist will communicate minimally with you during processing. You do not have to find the right words. Your brain does the processing, and your therapist holds the space. After brainspotting, you’ll have time to debrief with your therapist. 

What to expect

No two sessions look the same and the experience cannot be duplicated. Some people notice a shift within a single session. Others need more time for the processing to settle. What surfaces may show up somatically in your body, through emotions, or even as images and memories. Either way, the process moves at the pace your nervous system can actually hold. Trusting yourself and the space is an essential part of the work.

FAQ

Your questions deserve honest answers.

Here are the ones we hear most about brainspotting:

  • They are related but not the same. Both are somatic, brain-based approaches that work with trauma and nervous system activation. Brainspotting tends to be more open and less protocol-driven than EMDR  which for many people feels more fluid and intuitive. If you're wondering which approach might be a better fit for you, your therapist is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

  • No. One of the things that makes Brainspotting distinct is that it does not require you to verbally recount everything that happened. The processing happens at a neurological level, which means your brain can do the work without you having to narrate it out loud.

  • It can be. Brainspotting is sometimes used as a complement to ongoing talk therapy. If you're currently working with a therapist, we recommend looping them in before starting so everyone is on the same page about your care.

  • Yes. Your therapist is trained to monitor your activation levels throughout the session and will never push you beyond what your nervous system can hold. You're always in control of the pace.

  • It varies. Some people feel lighter, like something released. Others feel tired or tender, or notice that things keep processing beyond the session. None of that means something went wrong. Your therapist will help you identify ways to take care of yourself between sessions.
