What is a Brainspotting session like?
​
In Brainspotting, you are seen as the expert on yourself, while the therapist is in a supportive role. The goal with Brainspotting is to access your own self-healing capabilities and help process stored trauma and negative emotions.
Brainspotting is similar to EMDR in that it is not a traditional talking therapy. Clients are encouraged to mindfully focus on the brainspot. Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique utilising fixed eye positions to process feelings or experiences. During the session the processing may be done using headphones and listening to music that rhythmically goes back and forth from left to right side.
​
A typical brainspotting treatment involves:
​
I will begin by explaining the brainspotting process and how it accesses and clears trauma.
The client often wears headphones playing “bilateral” music/nature sounds that help with the reprocessing mentioned above.
I help you find a spot in your field of vision (brainspot) that helps you access where the trauma/stuck energy is lodged in the brain.
Together, we decide the “target” of the Brainspotting session.
Then the clearing processing begins.
One of the basic premises of Brainspotting is that your brain, body and spirit knows what it needs to do to heal. Brainspotting honours that process.
​
The most amazing aspect of Brainspotting therapy, is that what we start in our shared space, does its best work when you leave. Between sessions is when the shift occurs!
​
Sometimes the shift is subtle, other times the shift is really noticeable. Each person responds differently.
