"Where you look affects how you feel."

-David Grand, Ph.D

It's possible to feel at ease after anxiety, depression, trauma & stress.

Has talking about your feelings in therapy only taken you so far? Are you struggling to process or work through certain aspects of your life? It's common to get caught in understanding why you feel a certain way, but how do you move from understanding to actually feeling different?

Emotions can be overwhelming. Depression can sap your motivation, making even the basics feel impossible. Anxiety can keep you on edge, with feelings that seem to come out of nowhere. You wish you could feel more at ease and less up and down.

When you're overwhelmed, you might numb out with food, binge-watching Netflix, or doomscrolling. You know you're avoiding something, but you're not sure what. Other times, you try to control everything, only to find yourself feeling even more out of control. Life's challenges are expected, but right now, it feels like you're constantly pushing uphill just to get through the day. If only you could turn down the volume of your inner critic and be kinder to yourself.

You've tried talk therapy and learned some tools, but you want deeper change. You have a lot of "head knowledge," but it hasn't changed how you feel. You long to feel lighter in your body and heart. You wish you were further along, but the shame still lingers. You wish there was a way to go deeper in your therapeutic process & get past all the barriers to make the changes you've been wanting in your life or relationships for so long.

If any of this resonates with you, Brainspotting therapy might be a good fit.

You don't have to live life feeling stuck and overwhelmed, you can have a life ran by you, not your thoughts or emotions.

How can Brainspotting help?

Brainspotting works by using something we already do naturally. To give you a feel for it, let's try a small exercise right now while you're on my website.

Take a moment to really engage with what I'm asking you. Yes, really! I’m going to ask you a question, and then we’ll discuss what happens when memories or thoughts are processed. Here’s the question: “What did you eat for your last meal of the day yesterday?” Don’t read ahead—just think about your answer now.

Now that you’ve thought about your last meal, observe what happened as you recalled it. You might have looked around at different spots or focused on one particular area around you while you thought. You weren’t actually looking at something specific; your brain guided you to look somewhere as it processed the memory. That’s a brainspot related to what you ate yesterday!

Brainspotting is based on this process. When we’re sorting through our thoughts or experiencing strong emotions, we often gaze off in a specific direction. This natural gaze is linked to our central nervous system, which connects directly to our brain, lungs, and heart. So, when we engage in this “looking off” behavior, we’re helping our brains and bodies process information more effectively.

Processing emotions can be challenging because thoughts and feelings are handled differently by our brain. Emotions are felt, while thoughts come from the prefrontal cortex, the area responsible for language and rational thinking. When dealing with intense emotions or trauma, the prefrontal cortex isn’t as effective. Instead, the midbrain—our command center for emotions, hormones, and the fight-or-flight response—takes over. This shift can make it harder to fully process and work through emotions, which is why trauma can be tough to put into words.

Brainspotting helps by speeding up access to stored memories and emotions, facilitating quicker release and faster healing. Essentially, it helps us find brainspots for different traumas, experiences, emotions, and even areas of safety and comfort.
