Brainspotting is a powerful tool for inner healing and growth.
By focusing on specific points in your visual field, you can access subconscious patterns of thinking and belief that may be hindering you. Brainspotting helps you release these outdated patterns, allowing you to integrate new, healthier perspectives. This process can lead to a calmer nervous system, a shift in perspective on the world, and a renewed sense of well-being.
Developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003, Brainspotting has become a versatile therapeutic approach, compatible with other healing modalities. It works by harnessing the body's natural ability to heal itself, as Dr. Grand suggests.
Brainspotting can be particularly helpful in addressing issues related to the "unbearable lightness of being," like stress, achieving goals, and reclaiming your creativity.
During the session, the coach guides you to locate a "Brainspott" – a point in your field of vision that triggers a physical sensation or emotional response related to the issue you're working on. This spot can be identified by noticing subtle changes in your body, like blinking, swallowing, or slight twitches.
Bilateral sounds, such as music, tones, or natural sounds played alternately in each ear, are often used in conjunction with Brainspotting. These sounds stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, promoting relaxation and calming the nervous system's fight-or-flight response, while activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for promoting relaxation.
How Brainspotting can help before Non-Ordinary States?
Brainspotting enables you to connect with protective aspects of the psyche before a transformational experience, creating greater safety, clarity, and grounding for the work ahead. We use focused eye positions and attuned coaching to listen to the subconscious, update protective roles, and align intentions.
Before a journey, Brainspotting can help uncover unconscious fears, emotional blocks, or unresolved traumatic experiences that may be affecting your experience. It supports intention-setting, calms the nervous system, and invites emotional readiness for what’s to come.
How Brainspotting can help after Non-Ordinary States?
After a deep experience, many people feel cracked open—inspiring, but also overwhelming. Brainspotting helps process and integrate what was stirred up. It turns insights into embodied change, and emotional release into rooted healing—so the journey doesn’t just fade, but transforms.
Brainspotting can gently support the process from the inside out. It can help or work together with talk therapy, psychedelic integration, and other modalities.
Brainspotting's unique approach goes beyond traditional treatment. While it excels in traumatic experiences and healing work, it also extends its benefits to areas like peak performance and spiritual exploration.
“Where you look affects how you feel, and where you feel can guide you to healing. Brainspotting helps the body release what the mind alone cannot.”
