Brainspotting
If you've tried other therapies but still feel stuck, Brainspotting offers a different path to healing. This gentle, powerful technique works with your brain and body to access unprocessed trauma, emotional pain, and stress stored deep within the nervous system.
Common Reasons Clients Seek Brainspotting
1. Trauma Resolution
​
-
Many clients come to Brainspotting to process trauma, especially developmental, complex, or shock trauma.
-
They are often looking for healing that goes beyond talking, especially if they've plateaued in traditional therapy.
2. Accessing and Releasing “Stuck” Emotions or Patterns
​
-
Clients often report feeling “stuck,” disconnected, or overwhelmed, despite insight into their problems.
-
They seek emotional release and integration, wanting to get to the root of what’s keeping them in repetitive emotional loops, like chronic anxiety, depression, or self-sabotage.
3. Somatic, Body-Based Healing
​
-
Brainspotting appeals to clients who want a bottom-up approach. One that honors the body’s role in holding trauma and stress.
-
They may have symptoms like chronic pain, tension, or dissociation that haven’t responded to talk therapy or medication.
4. A Non-Verbal or Less-Talk-Centered Process
​
-
Some clients feel exhausted by talking about their problems, especially if they’ve been in therapy for years or have trauma they struggle to articulate.
-
Brainspotting enables non-verbal processing, which many find safer and more effective.
5. Deep Internal Processing and Self-Connection
​
-
Clients are often drawn to Brainspotting for its depth — it helps them connect with inner parts, subconscious material, and core emotional truths.
-
They want a space to go beyond cognition and reach visceral healing.
6. Help with Performance Blocks or Creative Flow
​
-
Some people (e.g., athletes, performers, writers) seek Brainspotting for performance enhancement or to release blocks that inhibit creativity, focus, or confidence.
-
Brainspotting is known for helping with peak performance and flow state access.
7. Relief Without Retraumatization
​
-
Clients who are trauma-sensitive or easily overwhelmed often choose Brainspotting because:
-
It is client-led
-
It doesn’t require retelling traumatic events
-
It respects the body’s natural healing pace
-
“Where you look affects how you feel.”
— Dr. David Grand, Founder of Brainspotting
What Is Brainspotting and How Does It Work?
Brainspotting was developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003 while working with trauma survivors. It builds on principles of neuroscience and the brain-body connection, drawing from EMDR, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness-based practices.
The idea is simple but powerful: Where you look affects how you feel.
​
During a session, your therapist guides you to a specific eye position — called a “brainspot” — that correlates with stored emotional or physical pain. This eye position activates deeper areas of the brain involved in trauma, memory, and regulation, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to begin.
​
Unlike talk therapy, which focuses on conscious thought and storytelling, Brainspotting taps into the subcortical brain, the part responsible for instinct, emotion, and trauma storage. That’s why it often leads to profound shifts, even when clients can’t fully put their experience into words.

Brainspotting Helps Regulate the Nervous System
This therapy supports the body in moving from fight, flight, or freeze into a state of calm. Over time, clients report increased resilience, emotional regulation, and inner peace.
