“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”

Bessel A. Van Der Kolk

BRAINSPOTTING

For many clients, unresolved emotions and trauma are held in the body as tension or physical distress. Brainspotting, like EMDR, is a somatic approach that helps access and release trauma stored beneath words.

Instead of beginning with a specific memory, Brainspotting uses eye gaze positions linked to somatic tension as the entry point—a bottom-up approach to processing trauma.

Like EMDR, Brainspotting is often met with skepticism, yet many clients are surprised by its depth—sometimes describing it as “wild” or almost hallucinogenic, without substances. It can evoke rapid insight and meaningful therapeutic change.
