Brainspotting

I've been a Certified Brainspotting Therapist since 2013. It's been a delightful and effective therapeutic modality. It allows for creativity, deep healing, tools you can use in between sessions and personal change that often exceeds people's expectations. Brainspotting's basic philosophy is that all human beings can heal themselves. I believe those words. I find when I share them, with my own internal belief behind those words, it's empowering for whoever is hearing them.

Brainspotting is often used to reprocess traumatic memories, but it is beneficial for a wide range of issues and can be faster at targeting stuck memories than talk therapy alone.

This unique approach helps you release the psychological blocks that keep you from being your most connected, creative, actualized self. You may have heard “eyes are windows to the soul” before. As it turns out, there’s medical research that proves that this old phrase is true. As the creator of this Brainspotting, Dr. David Grand, says, “where you look affects how you feel.” Brainspotting helps track points in your visual field that reveal unprocessed trauma in the brain.

I have completed phase 1, 2, 3, expansion, and kids/adolescents training for Brainspotting. I have sought out consultation, and I regularly use brainspotting to help clients access their own healing potential.

Brainspotting is one of two neurobased modalities that I augment into talk therapy to reduce anxiety and eliminate trauma responses. Brainspotting helps to reduce physical pain, memories become less painful, negative thought patterns are reduced, improves sleep and increases energy. Safe and Sound Protocol is a sound therapy that reduces anxiety and increases social engagement. Especially helpful to adults with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, ADD, social anxiety/phobias.

At this point, I’m mostly only working with new clients who are open to it as a part of our work together because doing therapy without Brainspotting feels a little like doing therapy with my arms tied behind my back. I just can’t help people make the movement we both want them to make with traditional talk therapy. For more information on Brainspotting visit Brainspotting.com or my website.

Brainspotting is a somatic approach to healing from trauma. It is based on the same principles as EMDR and incorporates ideas from somatic experiencing. The goal of this process is to access the subcortical parts of your brain, which are connected to functions of memory, emotion, and pleasure. By tapping into these parts within an attuned relationship, we create space for your mind and body to process traumatic experiences and other blocks. We move at your pace and comfort level.

I have received Brainspotting training and am a Brainspotting practitioner. I am continuing to get hours of training in advanced Brainspotting techniques and practice in the modality in order to provide the best care possible for my clients. Brainspotting is a technique that involves a deeper level of processing for clients and therefore more access to getting to the root of addressing the trauma.

I am trained to apply Brainspotting to a variety of emotional difficulties including shame, anger, traumatic memories, experiences of rejection and abandonment, anxiety, fear as well as performance issues.

Brainspotting allows us access to neural pathways leading to the midbrain that talk therapy cannot. If you have issues or concerns that you are not yet comfortable talking about or don't feel like you can find the right words, this modality may be for you.

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, disassociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting works with the deep brain and the body through it direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system.

Brainspotting is mind/body approach that can help you connect deeply with the root of where issues are stored in your brain, body and nervous system. It helps you clear issues, ranging from difficult trauma to everyday challenges. It is also very helpful in building positives, such as confidence, relaxation optimal performance, etc. Here are links to videos "Who does Brainspotting work with?” https://vimeo.com/187492731 "Brainspotting" https://youtu.be/lm3Plvaf3

I use brainspotting to help you process past traumatic experiences. I have found that by doing this you will become more effective at advocating for yourself, as well as identifying the messages that your brain and body send to you to help you function throughout your day.

This mind-body approach to healing trauma is a wonderful tool for enhancing your goals in therapy. I have added this way of working since 2021, completing 72 hours of training in that time. I have been humbled by how it can open up the healing potential that lies in each of us.

I use brainspotting as a full body approach to get you centered and in tune with whatever your subconscious body and mind choose to tell us.

Brainspotting (BSP) is a profound therapeutic tool that can help provide opportunities for healing of trauma & stuck emotional states. It can also help with gaining clarity and resolving creative blocks. Using focused mindfulness to facilitate processing is achieved by the tenant of BSP that 'where we look impacts how we feel'.

This is a rapid, effective trauma therapy that gets to the root of the issue, helps you find your own wisdom and ultimately shows you that you can approach the thing you fear and come out the other side. This approach has not only transformed my practice, but the lives of those who try it. It may seem odd, but if you're up for something a little different than talk-therapy, you will see what hope and freedom and look like.

Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful, focused method for treating trauma and other unresolved psychological issues. This unique approach helps you release the psychological blocks that keep you from being your most connected, creative, actualized self. Brainspotting offers deep neurological healing that talk therapy alone often cannot access. This technique gives us a way to access the subcortical brain, the place where emotional and somatic experiences are kept.
