Brainspotting

Brain-Body Therapy

Brainspotting allows a client the ability to gain access to the part of the brain where memories and emotions from a traumatic experience are stored. This helps them to process difficult emotions and feelings stored in long-term memory.

Unlike normal talk therapy that notoriously takes many years to process trauma and the related emotions, new innovative techniques such as Brainspotting have shown to help clients resolve and release these stored emotions and memories without needing to relive the initial trauma. Traditional talk therapy is a "top-down" approach that attempts to solve problems using the conscious mind (neocortical thinking), and therefore it can take a long time to access unconscious memories and emotions stored within the brain and body. Brainspotting is a "bottom-up" therapy also known as a brain-body approach to healing which targets the subcortical parts of the brain and focuses on the release of these blockages that have been stored, allowing for processing of traumatic memories and emotions which may have been stuck for a person's entire lifetime. Trauma and the related emotions, perceptions, and feelings become stuck within the body and energy field and can cause not only chronic pain but chronic illnesses. David Grand, PhD describes this "stuckness" as "frozon maladaptive homeostasis". 

​

What can Brainspotting treat effectively?

Brainspotting is an effective short-term technique (1-3 sessions usually) for anxiety, depression, Parts work, self-worth issues, trauma from neglect or abandonment, chronic pain, addiction, and behavioral conditions. It can really be used for any concern or even to enhance creativity.

Other common uses for Brainspotting are:

  • grief

  • ptsd symptoms

  • attachment issues

  • dissociative disorders

  • specific phobias

  • safety & security

  • betrayal & trust wounds

  • fear of failure/feelings of failure

  • power/control related trauma

  • Confidence

  • feeling invalidated

  • self-sabotage

  • abuse

  • relationship issues or issues at work

  • and much more

 

Brainspotting can be done as single sessions or I also offer it as package. You can choose below which offering suits your needs.

Brainspotting Therapy
Single Session

Some clients prefer a shorter Brainspotting session because they can be emotionally intense while others prefer a longer session to have more time to process a particular issue. In this session we will speak briefly about the issue you would like to work on and then move right into the session. Brainspotting usually takes 1-3 sessions to resolve a particular issue. These are targeted sessions so please pick one area of focus per session. If the issue has been resolved prior to the completion of the session and there is still time to fit in another topic we can start to work on a second issue but there many not be time to bring it to resolution.

6-Session Package

Brainspotting Packages can be done as Six 1-

Hour sessions or Six 1.5 Hour sessions. Brainspotting Packages are for clients that have multiple issues/traumas they would like to work through. Some clients prefer the shorter 1-hour Brainspotting sessions because they can be emotionally intense while others prefer longer sessions to have more time to process a particular issue. This is completely your choice based on your preference. In this session, we will speak briefly about the issue to you would like to work on and then move right into the session. These are targeted sessions so please pick one area of focus per session. If the issue requires more than one session to resolve it can carry over into the next session if you would like.

If a particular issue is resolved before the session is complete and there is a significant amount of time left, we can switch topics. For this package, please pick the time of the first session and then we will schedule the rest of the sessions as we go.
