What Is Brainspotting?
“Where You Look Affects How You Feel”
Brainspotting for Trauma and Stress
Faster relief. Deeper healing. Built for the warrior brain.
High stress work changes your nervous system.
Body on alert. Mind running. Sleep wrecked.
Memories and images replay when you do not want them to.
Brainspotting is a powerful trauma therapy that helps your brain process what got “stuck” during overwhelming moments — without having to tell your whole story.
I use Brainspotting with veterans, active duty, police, fire, EMS, dispatch, nurses, and family members because it works with the body, not against it.
What Brainspotting Is in Simple Terms
Your eyes connect directly to the deeper parts of the brain where trauma, stress, and emotion are stored.
A brainspot is a specific eye position that taps into the stuck material.
Once we find it, your brain begins to release what it has been holding — naturally and safely.
You do not have to relive the event.
You do not have to explain every detail.
You stay in control the entire time.
Why It Works for Warriors and First Responders
Brainspotting is ideal for people who are
• Used to suppressing emotions in order to get the job done
• Tired of talking about the same story without real change
• Carrying images, sounds, and sensations that hit at random
• Feeling numb, angry, jumpy, or disconnected
• Ready for something deeper than traditional talk therapy
It taps into the survival parts of your brain that training, trauma, and years on the job have shaped.
How does brainspotting work?
What a Session Looks Like
• We slow down and notice where the stress shows up in your body
• We find the brainspot using eye position
• You focus, breathe, and let your brain process
• I track your body reactions and guide you through
• Your system begins to release tension, images, and emotional weight
Most people feel calmer, lighter, or clearer — even after the first few sessions.
What Brainspotting Helps With
• Trauma and PTSD
• Line of duty events
• Military experiences
• Anxiety and hypervigilance
• Emotional numbness
• Anger and irritability
• Guilt, shame, or stuck memories
• Chronic stress and burnout
If it lives in the body, Brainspotting can help release it.
