How does Brainspotting work?

Processing trauma without words

In a Brainspotting session, you will use a pointer to find the relevant eye position, 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.

In Brainspotting, the relationship between therapist and client is fundamental. Your empathetic and deeply attuned, witnessing presence as a therapist will allow profound healing to occur.

What are the benefits of Brainspotting?

Brainspotting works directly on the client’s neurophysiology. When the nervous system is in a state of dysregulation, Brainspotting will be able to restore the balance and bring homeostasis. In Brainspotting the results are fast and the change achieved is permanent.

Brainpotting helps clients release trauma without talking through it. It is a powerful tool in working on performance enhancement and expansion of positive or desirable states.
