Sometimes we're aware of why we feel or behave in certain ways. For example, we know that we emotionally withdraw in relationships when someone hurts our feelings. We're usually able to describe why this happens, and work through it by talking to someone.
But what if we don’t know why we feel sad, anxious, afraid or paralyzed? What if we experience localized pain, numbness or other unexplained symptoms? In these situations, talk therapy can have limited effectiveness.
Brainspotting therapy is a powerful, brain-based trauma therapy that helps to resolve stuck emotions, thoughts or body sensations that persist despite talk therapy and other treatments.
Brainspotting works by identifying, processing and releasing the core sources of emotional pain, body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.
When a client (adult or child) is able to notice and allow the presence of difficult emotions, thoughts or sensations in a safe, relationally-attuned space, these emotions/thoughts/sensations are able to move through and the symptoms improve.
