By maintaining sustained attention on the identified brainspot, the client is encouraged to explore their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations that arise. This process combined with Somatic Therapies allows for the natural processing and release of unresolved trauma or distressing experiences, fostering healing and integration.

​

Brainspotting is often considered a neurobiological tool that taps into the brain’s capacity for self-healing. It can be used to address a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, phobias, performance enhancement, addiction, and unresolved emotional patterns. Brainspotting can be utilized as a stand-alone therapy or integrated with other therapeutic modalities.

​

One of the key strengths of Brainspotting is its ability to access and process trauma and emotional material that may be difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone. It bypasses the limitations of conscious awareness and engages the deeper layers of the brain and body, facilitating profound healing and transformation.
