Understanding the Power of Brainspotting

Brainspotting, a therapeutic approach, offers a unique way to address unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain by identifying specific points in the client’s visual field.

The Impact of Visual Focus

“Where you look affects how you feel.” Brainspotting capitalizes on this natural phenomenon by utilizing specific eye positions. These positions aid the BSP therapist in pinpointing, concentrating on, processing, and releasing a broad spectrum of emotional and bodily conditions. Furthermore, BSP serves as a brain-based tool that strengthens the therapeutic alliance.

Harnessing Natural Healing Abilities

We believe that BSP taps into the body’s inherent self-scanning and self-healing capacity. When a Brainspot is activated, the deep brain seems to instinctively signal the therapist that the source of the issue has been located. BSP can also uncover and fortify our innate resources and resilience. It’s designed as a therapeutic instrument that can seamlessly integrate with various healing methodologies.

Who Can Benefit from Brainspotting?

Brainspotting offers efficacy for an array of emotional and somatic concerns. It particularly shines in trauma-based scenarios, uncovering and addressing underlying trauma that contributes to conditions like anxiety, depression, and other behavioral issues. Moreover, it has applications in enhancing performance and creativity. Brainspotting uniquely provides therapists access to both brain and body processes, aiming to bypass conscious neocortical thinking and delve into the deeper, subcortical emotional and body-based aspects of the brain.”
