The struggle to feel in control of your emotions has been going on for so long that you wonder if changing is even possible.
Let us take the weight off your shoulders.
Through Brainspotting Therapy, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself, the tools to thrive in your life, and be able to face the future with confidence.
How brainspotting works
Free yourself from the wounds of the past.
Studies have shown that the experiences we have early in life have a long-term impact on our brains. The challenges you deal with now are rooted somewhere in your past, which informs your actions and reactions—even if you’re not aware of it.
Brainspotting is a type of therapy that helps people process and release emotional traumas or distress. It's based on the idea that our eyes are connected to our brain's emotional processing centers. By focusing on specific eye positions to “point to” and access memories and emotions, you can acknowledge them and let them go.
If your brain was a computer, it’d be like reorganizing all your files so you don’t feel overwhelmed by them anymore.

First, you and your therapist will talk about the things that are bothering you or causing distress, so they can understand what's going on in your life.
Then, your therapist instructs you to focus on the specific spots in your field of vision that are connected to your emotions or memories. These spots are called "brainspots."
As you concentrate on these brainspots, you may start to notice thoughts, feelings, or sensations surfacing. It's like shining a light on the areas in your mind that need attention. Your therapist will guide you through these experiences, supporting you in processing difficult emotions or memories that may have been stuck or overwhelming.
Many people who have used Brainspotting have reported experiencing relief in 1-3 sessions. You’ll follow up weekly and watch the way you think about yourself and your life transform as time goes on.
