What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is an innovative, evidence-based approach designed specifically for trauma resolution. By identifying specific “brainspots”—eye positions that correspond to stored traumatic experiences—our experienced therapists can help you access and process deeply held emotional pain. This targeted intervention is particularly effective for trauma, allowing for a more precise and focused treatment compared to traditional approaches.

Unlike talk therapy, which engages the thinking mind, Brainspotting works directly with the deeper parts of the brain where trauma and emotions are stored. This makes it especially helpful for processing distressing experiences that feel difficult to verbalize. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, or unresolved grief, Brainspotting helps release emotional and physical tension at the root level, leading to profound healing and relief.

At Bloom Therapy, we provide Brainspotting virtually—so you can experience its benefits wherever you are.

How Brainspotting Works

Brainspotting at Bloom Therapy offers a focused, supportive space to process deep-seated emotions and trauma. This powerful approach helps reduce distress, promote emotional regulation, and unlock the brain’s natural ability to heal.

During a brainspotting session, your therapist guides you to locate the eye position where your distress is most pronounced. This process enables the brain to tap into its natural healing resources. As you focus on these brainspots, emotional and physical sensations begin to shift, allowing you to release the emotional charge associated with traumatic memories.

Our tailored sessions are designed to provide relief from trauma while also addressing related challenges like anxiety, grief, and depression.

Common Myths About Brainspotting

Myth: Brainspotting is too intense or invasive.

Reality: Brainspotting is a gentle, client-centered approach that allows you to safely access and process trauma. It works by identifying specific eye positions (brainspots) linked to emotional distress, making the process both targeted and respectful of your emotional boundaries.

Myth: Brainspotting is only for individuals with severe trauma.

Reality: While brainspotting is highly effective for addressing deep-seated trauma, it can also benefit those dealing with anxiety, grief, depression, and other emotional challenges. This technique is versatile and can support a wide range of healing processes, regardless of the severity of the issues.

Myth: Brainspotting requires a high level of technical or cognitive effort from the client.

Reality: Brainspotting is designed to be accessible and intuitive. The process does not require specialized skills or prior knowledge; instead, it focuses on your natural ability to notice and process emotional sensations, making it an effective tool for anyone seeking healing.

At Bloom Therapy, we guide you through the Brainspotting process with care and expertise, helping you access deep healing in a way that feels safe, empowering, and effective.

How Brainspotting might be used in counseling

Brainspotting for Trauma

Trauma is often stored deep in the brain and body, making it difficult to process through traditional talk therapy alone. Brainspotting helps access these stored experiences by using eye positions to locate where distress is held. This focused approach allows for deeper emotional release, reducing the intensity of trauma-related triggers and symptoms. Over time, Brainspotting helps you feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your healing journey.

Brainspotting for Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression can be linked to unresolved emotional experiences that keep the nervous system stuck in patterns of distress. Brainspotting helps identify and release these underlying sources, promoting emotional regulation and relief. By targeting areas in the brain where these emotions are held, Brainspotting can create lasting shifts, allowing you to experience greater calm, clarity, and a renewed sense of well-being.

Brainspotting for Family Conflict and Relationship Challenges

Unresolved family dynamics and relational wounds can deeply affect emotional well-being. Brainspotting helps process past conflicts, emotional pain, and negative self-beliefs that stem from difficult relationships. Whether you’re struggling with boundary-setting, past family trauma, or ongoing relationship challenges, this approach allows for healing at a core level—helping you move forward with greater emotional clarity and confidence.
