Brainspotting

Brainspotting (BSP) is a therapeutic strategy that can help provide opportunities for profound healing of trauma & stuck emotional states. It can also help with gaining clarity and resolving creative blocks. Using focused mindfulness to facilitate processing is achieved by the tenant of BSP that 'where we look impacts how we feel'. I am currently pursuing certification in BSP and have found my experiences in receiving BSP to be incredibly healing.

"Where you look affects how you feel." Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that targets trauma and distress by focusing on eye positions that activate specific areas of the brain. It accesses the body's natural ability to heal by facilitating the processing and release of traumatic experiences stored in the subconscious, leading to profound emotional healing and resolution.

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I want you to feel heard by someone who understands! Whether you are interested in medications or not, I am looking forward to connecting with you and partnering with YOU to help YOU achieve satisfaction and success in life, while ultimately feeling empowered in YOUR own wellness journey.

I use brainspotting as a full body approach to get you centered and in tune with whatever your subconscious body and mind choose to tell us.

For training, I've completed Brainspotting levels 1 and 2. I am currently currently training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am trained to apply Brainspotting to a variety of emotional difficulties including shame, anger, traumatic memories, experiences of rejection and abandonment, anxiety, fear as well as performance issues.

I am currently a certified Brainspotting (BSP) practitioner and have been using it in my practice for the last three years. When I was a child in the Philippines I knew my grandmother was anxious because she would talk about how much her arms were swelling. Not everyone talks in therapy. BSP, in my opinion, is a non-oppressive form of therapy because it allows for a larger range of processing that isn't dependent on the client saying the right things.

Brainspotting is a cutting-edge therapy method for emotional distress and trauma. By identifying visual cues called "brainspots," we address deep-seated pain and tough memories without needing to talk much. This approach accesses pathways in your brain that traditional therapy might miss, helping release stuck emotional distress and pain.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner and have experienced deep processing and healing in receiving Brainspotting.

Brainspotting is a treatment method that utilizes your visual field to connect with the parts of your brain that hold onto unprocessed trauma. Brainspotting invites clients to process distressing experiences by following the lead of their body.

Brainspotting is my favorite way to combine talk therapy with body-focused mindfulness. This treatment is based on the fact that where we look affects how we feel, meaning that we can access nonverbal memories in order to heal them. I have completed training in Phases 1 and 2. I will attend Phase 3 training in July 2023.

Brainspotting was added to my practice in 2023. I'm trained in level 1 and 2, and nearly certified. While I am admittedly biased, countless times I've witnessed profound and lasting results with this bottom up trauma informed model to deeply and rapidly heal trauma, grief, and complex relational issues. Our eyes are connected to our subcortical brain where trauma is held, as well as our reptilian brain where we go under distress. Go to Brainspotting.com for more information.

Brainspotting is a body-based modality for healing trauma and regulating the nervous system. Brainspotting locates points in a client’s visual field that help access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. The subcortical brain is the most primitive part of the brain and what lights up on a brain scan when the body detects a threat and goes into a stress response of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Brainspotting helps you experience profound healing on a neurobiological level.

Brainspotting was discovered in 2003 by David Grand, PhD. https://brainspotting.pro/ Where we look determines how we feel, and how we feel also determines where we look. Brainspotting uses the attunement of the therapist to the client to access those parts in the sub-cortex and mid-brain that are impacted by trauma or negative life experiences. “Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and by down-regulating the amygdala"

Brainspotting is mind/body approach that can help you connect deeply with the root of where issues are stored in your brain, body and nervous system. It helps you clear issues, ranging from difficult trauma to everyday challenges. It is also very helpful in building positives, such as confidence, relaxation optimal performance, etc.

At this point, I’m mostly only working with new clients who are open to it as a part of our work together because doing therapy without Brainspotting feels a little like doing therapy with my arms tied behind my back. I just can’t help people make the movement we both want them to make with traditional talk therapy. For more information on Brainspotting visit Brainspotting.com or my website.
