Healing Beyond Words: How Brainspotting Can Help You Process Trauma
When it comes to healing from trauma, anxiety, or emotional pain, many people find that simply talking about what happened isn’t enough. You may understand your story logically, yet still feel the emotional weight in your body. That’s where Brainspotting therapy comes in — a powerful, neuroscience-based approach that helps you access and release trauma stored deep within the brain and body.
What Is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting (BSP) is a brain-body therapy developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003. It’s based on the concept that “where you look affects how you feel.”
During Brainspotting sessions, your therapist helps you identify a specific “brainspot”—an eye position linked to a particular emotion, memory, or body sensation. This spot connects directly to the deeper regions of the brain where trauma and distress often reside.
By gently focusing on that spot, your brain naturally begins to process and release emotional blocks. Brainspotting doesn’t require you to relive or retell your trauma; instead, it allows your nervous system to heal from the inside out.
How Brainspotting Works
At Connections Counseling, each Brainspotting session is personalized to meet your individual needs. I guide you through a calm and supportive process where you locate the eye position connected to your emotional or physical discomfort.
Using techniques such as bilaterals or focused eye positioning, your brain accesses stored memories and emotions that may be influencing your present-day experiences. As your brain processes this information, you may feel your body begin to relax, your thoughts become clearer, and your emotions feel more regulated.
Clients often describe Brainspotting as a deeply grounding and empowering experience that helps them move through emotional pain in a safe and natural way.
Who Can Benefit from Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting can be effective for individuals who are struggling with trauma, emotional overwhelm, or anxiety — especially if they’ve felt “stuck” despite trying traditional talk therapy.
