Brainspotting Therapy
"Where you look affects how you feel." — David Grand
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused therapy that helps identify and release trauma stored in the brain and body — supporting greater calm, clarity, and emotional freedom.
What Is Brainspotting?
Discovered in 2003 by David Grand, Brainspotting is based on the insight that specific eye positions can access deeper areas of the brain — particularly the subcortical brain, where traumatic experiences are often stored. By identifying these "brainspots," therapy gently supports the brain's natural ability to process and release unresolved experiences that may still be affecting your emotional or physical well-being.
What Does a Session Look Like?
Together, we identify a specific point in your visual field that corresponds with an emotional or physical response. This becomes an access point to the brain and nervous system, allowing the mind and body to process what has remained unresolved.
You don't need to recall memories clearly for Brainspotting to be effective — even when memories aren't fully conscious, the body still holds their imprint. Healing happens through awareness of body sensations, emotions, and internal responses, gently guiding the nervous system toward balance and relief.
