Brainspotting Therapy
Access and Heal the Deeper Layers of Trauma
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. At Enlightened Living Therapy, we utilize Brainspotting and other trauma-informed approaches to access and heal deeper layers of trauma that traditional therapies may not reach, promoting profound and lasting recovery.
Understanding Brainspotting
Brainspotting is based on the premise that the position of your eyes can help access unresolved trauma in the brain. By locating the specific eye position associated with a traumatic memory, Brainspotting allows individuals to target underlying trauma directly, without the extensive dialogue required by other therapies. This method is both physical and psychological, supporting the brain's natural ability to self-scan and heal itself.
How Brainspotting Works
Identifying the Brainspot
During therapy, the therapist will help you find the eye position that correlates with the psychological distress. This is often accompanied by the use of bilateral sound, which enhances the brain's processing capabilities.
Processing Trauma
Once the brainspot is identified, you will be guided to maintain focus on it while observing the associated feelings and sensations that arise, facilitating the processing and release of the trauma.
Integration
The session concludes with phases of integration where the brain and body assimilate the processed emotions, often leading to a sense of relief and emotional freedom.
