What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting therapy was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories and human suffering. Brainspotting is a brain-based tool used to alleviate trauma, emotional pain, performance anxiety, panic and stress disorders, and to strengthen our natural resources, strengths, and resilience.

 

As a Phase 2 trained Brainspotting therapist, I specialize in working with people burdened by a history of abuse, including childhood physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, trauma, PTSD, disturbing memories, grief and loss, addiction, and violence. Brainspotting is also useful in the treatment of negative beliefs, for anxiety and stress reduction, and grief work.

Example of Brainspotting treatment for low self esteem, from my Denver, Colorado, psychotherapy practice:

I recently saw a client who was struggling with anxiety and distress around workplace performance. By locating, focusing and accessing the eye position associated with the internal distress, we were able to process through the negative beliefs that organized this clients low self esteem at work. We then proceeded to build internal resources based on this clients emotional and psychological connection to his strengths and resilience, that allowed him to tackle his daily life with renewed confidence.
