Brainspotting
Do you feel stuck in painful memories or emotions that will not go away?
Maybe you have tried talk therapy or other approaches but still feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or stress. Brainspotting therapy can help you move forward.
What Is Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting is a type of therapy that helps your brain heal itself. Your therapist will guide you to use certain eye positions to find “brainspots.” These are places in the brain that hold trauma or strong emotions. Once these spots are found, the brain and body can begin to release and process the pain.
Brainspotting can help with:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic
Depression and grief
Emotional overwhelm or numbness
Performance issues, stress, or blocks
Improving emotional balance and focus
How Does Brainspotting Work?
During a session, your therapist helps you find an eye position linked to a memory or feeling. While focusing there, your brain begins to heal and let go of stress or trauma.
Brainspotting works deeper than talk therapy. Many clients say it feels more direct and brings relief faster, especially when other methods have not helped. It can also be used with EMDR, talk therapy, or family counseling.
Who Can Benefit?
Brainspotting can help anyone: children, teens, and adults. It is useful whether you are new to therapy or have been in therapy before. It may be right for you if you:
Feel stuck in repeating patterns or memories
Have anxiety or strong emotional triggers
Are dealing with grief or big life changes
Want to lower stress and improve focus
Have tried therapy before but want deeper healing
What to Expect in a Session
Every session is different. Your therapist creates a safe and calm space. You set the pace. Healing happens at a level that feels right for you.
You can meet in our Clarksville office or through secure telehealth. The number of sessions depends on your needs. Some people notice changes quickly. Others choose ongoing support.
