What Is Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique, and form of individual therapy, that aims to access and process deep-seated emotional and traumatic experiences. It involves the therapist guiding the client's eye movements to locate specific "brainspots" associated with the source of their distress. Once identified, these spots are targeted to facilitate the release and processing of unresolved trauma or emotions stored in the brain.
Why Choose Brainspotting?
Effective: Brainspotting has been shown to be highly effective in treating a range of psychological issues, including PTSD, anxiety, phobias, and more.
Non-invasive: Unlike some traditional therapies, Brainspotting doesn't require you to talk extensively about your experiences, making it suitable for those who may find verbal expression challenging.
Gentle: Brainspotting respects your natural healing process, offering a gentle yet powerful approach to emotional wellness.
