Brainspotting
If you are seeking “emotional healing on warp speed,” Brainspotting is one of the most progressive and cutting-edge trauma therapies available for children, youth, and adults. Brainspotting is a powerful, evidenced-based, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with bi-lateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful, yet focused and containing.
My brain won’t even go to the place of trauma and activation any more,” shared one Brainspotting client.
Brainspotting also allows you to build on aspirational goals from within the subcortical brain in order to support you in achieving change and transformation.
