Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a mind, body practice utilized to activate the trauma capsule deep inside the brain and body.  This technique is used for a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, abuse, addictions, fears and any significant trauma memories.

Brainspotting allows for the process to naturally flow with the body to release what is needed at that moment in time.  The practitioner will locate a specific brainspot by observing the movement of the eyes, body cues and client observation of activation.  Once the spot is located the processing starts with activating of the issue discussed and observing what thoughts, feelings and body sensations arise.  This can be an internal process or vocal process where you are sharing what is happening as you process.  Everyone processes differently and brainspotting allows for you not to speak about what happened to you if you choose not to, but to just allow for whatever flows to the surface to release.  The practitioner is attuned to the client and holds sacred, safe space to allow for the healing to occur.  The time of processing also varies on each individual from 20 minutes up to an hour or more depending on the person and issue being processed.  Once the session is complete continued processing can occur up to 3-7 days after.

How does it help me?

Brainspotting works by getting to the root of the problem.  When we talk about trauma, often the issue at the surface is only a symptom of what we are really feeling and experiencing.  It is the bodies way of telling you that something is wrong and needs to be released.  Our bodies keep the score, meaning our bodies hold the trauma physically.  If we don’t include the body, we don’t move the trauma.  With this technique we will identify where in the body the trauma is felt, we will locate where the trauma is in the brain, then incorporate the two together for a beautiful release physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.    

Brainspotting does activate the trauma and requires self-care tools to ensure you are taking care of yourself during the process.  Prior to beginning brainspotting your practitioner will meet with you to review your self-care plan to ensure you are ready for processing.  This will include healthy coping tools for your physical well-being, psychological/emotional,  personal/social, spiritual, professional and personal support system.
