What is Brainspotting?

Research on EMDR and other brain-body therapies has shown that 'where you look affects how you feel.' Brainspotting (BSP) harnesses this natural connection by using specific eye positions to locate, focus, process, and release a wide range of emotional and physical challenges. It’s not just a technique—it’s a brain-based tool that deepens the therapeutic relationship and enhances healing.

At Believe In Your Journey Counseling & Holistic Care, I believe that BSP taps into the body’s innate ability to self-scan and self-heal. When a Brainspot is activated, the brain reflexively signals that the root of the issue has been identified, allowing us to work toward resolution. Beyond addressing trauma and emotional pain, BSP also helps uncover and strengthen your inner resilience and natural resources.

Brainspotting is designed to complement and integrate seamlessly with other therapeutic approaches, making it a versatile and powerful tool for deep, lasting healing.

  • Yes, Brainspotting can be effective in a virtual setting. Prior to the Covid pandemic, many clinicians believed that Brainspotting had to be done in person. However, necessity is the mother of invention. During the pandemic, demand for trauma therapy skyrocketed, and clinicians figured out how to adapt to a virtual therapy setting.

  • Clients often fall into two categories. The first is those who are seeking therapy for the first time. The second is people who have been in therapy before who are seeking a therapist with new techniques. With focus and precision, one can find with eye positions (Brainspots) where the trauma, anxiety, depression or behavioral problems are held in the brain. This allows the brain to process from the inside out and from the bottom up.
