- People who have tried talk therapy and want to go deeper
- Those experiencing trauma, grief, or overwhelming stress
- Individuals with anxiety, chronic tension, or panic responses
- High-functioning adults who find it difficult to “turn off” or relax

What Is Brainspotting and How It Works
Brainspotting is a brain–body therapy that helps you release emotional or physical tension held deep within the nervous system. By using specific eye positions linked to emotional experiences, this approach allows your brain to naturally process and heal what has been stored. Below, we take a closer look at what Brainspotting involves and how the process supports healing and emotional balance.
What Brainspotting Is
Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that helps uncover and release emotional pain that can remain stored in the body long after difficult experiences have passed. It is grounded in neuroscience and focuses on the connection between your eyes, brain, and emotions. By noticing subtle sensations and focusing attention on specific visual points, your brain begins to process what it could not before, creating space for healing and calm.
How Brainspotting Works
During a Brainspotting session, your therapist helps you locate eye positions, or “brainspots,” that link to areas of the brain holding unprocessed emotion or stress. As you gently focus on these points while staying present and supported, your nervous system starts to release tension and integrate new understanding. Over time, this process can reduce anxiety, ease emotional triggers, and help you feel more grounded, clear, and at peace.
