Brainspotting Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety, and Emotional Release in Greensboro, NC
Okay, first of all, I know what you are thinking... this sounds like a bunch of "woo-woo" mess. I get it...I thought so too at first!
You've likely tried traditional talk therapy, but sometimes words just aren’t enough to reach the deepest pain. Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful neurobiological tool designed to access the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It's built on a simple yet profound concept: "Where you look affects how you feel". This simple phrase encapsulates Brainspotting, showing that specific eye positions (Brainspots) trigger deep emotional and somatic experiences related to trauma.
Understanding Brainspotting: Neurobiology and Discovery
Brainspotting was discovered and developed by David Grand, Ph.D., a psychotherapist renowned for finding innovative ways to treat deep emotional pain. Dr. Grand’s work is focused on the idea that our visual field—where we focus our eyes—can locate "brainspots" connected to specific issues.
This is a focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing the core neurophysiological sources of emotional pain, trauma, anxiety, and dissociation that are stored in the deep, non-verbal parts of your brain.
I utilize Brainspotting because I have witnessed its transformative power firsthand—both in my own experience and with my clients. It often creates rapid shifts that talking for weeks, months, or even years might not achieve.
Through gentle eye positioning and mindfulness, we locate these "brainspots." This action allows your brain and body to release what’s been held onto, creating space for calm, clarity, and confidence. After a session, clients frequently share feedback like, "I just felt a sense of peace I've never had before," or describe being able to see a complex problem from an entirely new perspective.
