What’s Brainspotting and Why Does It Work?

Ever heard the phrase “where you look affects how you feel”? Well, Brainspotting takes that concept and runs with it—straight into the world of deep healing. This cutting-edge technique zeroes in on specific points in your field of vision (called "brainspots") that are tied to emotional or physical distress. It’s like finding hidden treasure, except the treasure is your own healing.

​

Here’s how it works: your therapist helps you locate a brainspot by tracking your eye movements and noticing how your body reacts. Once you’ve locked in, you focus on that spot while working through emotions, memories, or sensations connected to it. The result? Stored trauma gets released, and you start feeling lighter and more balanced.

​

Brainspotting taps into the idea that unresolved issues can be tucked away in your brain and body, quietly causing chaos. By focusing on these brainspots, you can finally address those deeper wounds—think trauma, anxiety, depression, or even chronic pain.

​

While it’s a newer therapy, Brainspotting is often paired with other approaches like EMDR or CBT, making it a powerhouse for healing. And don’t worry, only trained therapists guide these sessions—so you’re in good hands every step of the way.
