ALL ABOUT BRAINSPOTTING

Brainspotting is a powerful, precise, laser-like tool that can effectively locate, process and release memories of traumatic experiences.

​

Trauma affects the nervous system and is harmful to the brain, physical and psychological health. Brainspotting initiates the healing processes, consequently restoring homeostasis which was lost to trauma.

​

By accessing the deep subcortical brain and engaging structures involved in self-regulation, BSP can quickly release symptoms of trauma and bring a relief from the experience of psychological and often physical pain.

​

In a Brainspotting session, I use a pointer to find a relevant eye position for the client, called a brainspot. This eye position resonates with the client’s activation in the body while recalling a traumatic memory.

​

By gazing on the brainspot, the client will reach a naturally occurring state of focused mindfulness. The processing will continue until the trauma is resolved, and the brainspot can no longer trigger the activation.

​

The activation initially connected to a brainspot gradually decreases and often transforms into a positive experience, which can become a source of psychological resilience.

​

This process leads not only to the resolution of trauma, but also post-traumatic growth and expansion.
