Brainspotting FAQ's
1
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a brain-based method that accesses memory capsules or brainspots where trauma and experiences are stored. By targeting specific areas of the midbrain, it helps reprocess and release core neurophysiological reactions to trauma, psychological distress, and even sports performance challenges. Rooted in client-coach attunement, Brainspotting is highly adaptable and can be integrated with other therapeutic models.
2
Who can Brainspotting help?
Brainspotting can benefit anyone seeking deep emotional healing, enhanced performance, or relief from unresolved trauma. It is particularly effective for individuals experiencing anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, and stress-related disorders. Athletes, performers, and professionals can also use Brainspotting to break through mental blocks and enhance focus and performance. Whether you’re struggling with past trauma, emotional regulation, or personal growth, Brainspotting provides a powerful tool for accessing and processing experiences at a deep, neurophysiological level.

What does a session look like?
In a Brainspotting session, I will guide you to locate a specific "brainspot"—a point in your visual field linked to unresolved experiences. By focusing on this spot, we can access and process deeply stored emotions and trauma. This approach allows for profound healing without the need to verbally recount traumatic events. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and comfort level.
