What is Brainspotting and How Does it Work?

What is Brainspotting Therapy?

Brainspotting is a powerful, neuroscience-based therapeutic approach designed to help you access and process emotional pain stored in the body. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting directly targets the subcortical brain, the part responsible for emotions, survival instincts, and body regulation.

By guiding you to focus on specific eye positions, Brainspotting taps into emotional experiences and trauma stored in your body. This process helps you release emotional pain that’s been holding you back. It’s particularly effective for individuals seeking support with:

  • Brainspotting for Anxiety

  • Brainspotting for ADHD & Autism

  • Brainspotting for Food & Body Image Issues

  • Brainspotting for Highly Sensitive Persons or Empaths

  • Brainspotting Trauma Treatment

How Does Brainspotting Work?

You might be wondering, “How does Brainspotting work?” or “How does Brainspotting heal trauma?”

It’s simple yet profound.

During a session, you’ll maintain focus on a specific spot in your field of vision—your “brainspot”—that connects to emotional pain or trauma. By keeping your gaze fixed, Brainspotting accesses the subcortical brain where emotional experiences are stored. This activates the superior colliculus in the midbrain, helping your brain focus and process the emotional material linked to that eye position.

This deep processing allows for emotional release & integration, gently leading to lasting healing & intuitive change.

What is Brainspotting Therapy used for?

  • Are you a high-achieving woman who looks calm on the outside but battles constant anxiety within?

    Brainspotting therapy helps you safely explore and release the emotional triggers behind your anxiety, empowering you to regain control without the pressure of perfection.

    Whether you’re managing work stress, social anxiety, or the invisible weight of constant worry, this approach offers a path to lasting calm and resilience.

  • Do you find yourself haunted by past experiences, even when you’re doing your best to keep it all together?

    Brainspotting provides a safe, compassionate space for women carrying the invisible burden of trauma or Posttraumatic Stress Injuries. By addressing deep-seated emotional wounds, this therapy helps you break free from painful memories and move forward with renewed strength.

    If you’ve been silently struggling with complex trauma, childhood experiences, or emotional pain, Brainspotting is a powerful way to heal and reclaim your life.

  • Are you a neurodivergent woman juggling multiple roles—career, family, and personal growth—while feeling overwhelmed by emotional highs and lows?

    Brainspotting offers a neuro-affirming way to improve emotional regulation, helping you navigate sensitivity, impulsivity, and the emotional rollercoaster of ADHD.

    This therapy empowers you to embrace your unique brain wiring while gaining the tools to thrive with greater emotional balance and clarity.

  • If you’re a late-diagnosed autistic woman trying to navigate a world that feels overwhelming and exhausting, Brainspotting can help.

    This gentle approach honors your sensory experiences, offering a safe space to explore and process sensory overload without judgment.

    By addressing sensory sensitivities and emotional complexities, Brainspotting empowers you to live authentically and comfortably in your own skin.

  • Are you a woman battling emotional eating or feeling trapped in a restrict-binge cycle, all while striving to meet societal expectations?

    Brainspotting helps you explore the underlying emotional triggers behind these struggles, fostering a healthier relationship with food and your body.

    Through a non-judgmental, compassionate approach, it empowers you to break free from harmful patterns and embrace body neutrality and self-acceptance.

  • Do you constantly feel like you’re not good enough, despite doing everything “right”?

    Brainspotting helps you access and heal the emotional pain beneath self-criticism, perfectionism, and shame.

    For women who carry the weight of expectations—whether as mothers, professionals, or caregivers—this therapy fosters self-compassion, helping you reconnect with your worth and find emotional freedom.

  • Are you a woman who longs for deeper, more fulfilling relationships but finds yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns?

    Brainspotting provides a compassionate, effective approach to healing attachment wounds, trust issues, and emotional disconnection.

    Whether you’re navigating complex dynamics with a partner, family member, or friend, this therapy helps you heal past hurts and build healthier, more authentic connections.

  • Are you an ambitious woman who dreams big but feels held back by self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure?

    Brainspotting helps you break through mental blocks, empowering you to reach your full potential without compromising your well-being.

    Whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or creative, this approach enhances mindset and performance, allowing you to thrive with confidence and purpose.
