Brainspotting (BSP) is a focused therapeutic approach developed by Dr. David Grand. Originating as an offshoot of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), it helps individuals process deeply held patterns or trauma by using specific eye positions that are linked to stored emotional and physical experiences.

​

During a Brainspotting session, you and your practitioner identify a "brainspot," a point in your visual field that corresponds with emotional or somatic activation. This process taps into the brain-body connection, allowing unresolved experiences to surface and naturally process. It is a gentle, client-centered method that promotes deep healing and self-discovery.

​

As a Brainspotting Phase 1 trained practitioner, I guide you through this transformative technique to support your journey toward clarity, emotional release, and well-being.
