Brainspotting is an evidence-informed therapeutic approach that helps access and process trauma stored in the deeper regions of the brain and nervous system. It is based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel,” meaning specific eye positions can connect to emotional and somatic experiences held outside of conscious awareness.

During a session, a therapist helps identify “brainspots” by tracking eye position and noticing subtle emotional or physical responses. Once a relevant spot is located, focused attention is held there while the brain and body naturally begin to process unresolved experiences. This allows trauma to surface in a contained and supported way, without needing to verbally re-tell every detail.

Brainspotting works by engaging the subcortical brain systems involved in survival, memory, and emotion regulation. This can help bypass overthinking and defense mechanisms that often block traditional talk therapy. As processing continues, clients may experience emotional release, reduced distress, and a greater sense of internal balance.

Benefits may include reduced anxiety, improved emotional regulation, relief from traumatic memories, increased self-awareness, and a stronger sense of calm and grounding in the body. It can also support performance, creativity, and resilience by clearing emotional blocks.
