Brainspotting in Burlington, VT
Feeling stuck in talk therapy? Like you’re hitting a wall, or experiencing the same feelings and reactions, over and over again?
Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional and body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.
Brainspotting makes use of the natural phenomenon of where you look to affect how you feel through the use of relevant eye positions. Together, you and the therapist pair a fixed eye position and body sensation to transform an unresolved issue. This rapid, highly effective somatic therapy technique goes beyond the cognitive awareness and connects you to your body’s innate wisdom to heal itself.
What if I don't have trauma?
We all have experienced trauma in some capacity, whether it be from distressing events, adverse childhood experiences, unmet emotional needs, systemic oppression, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or abuse and neglect.
Could it help me?
Brainspotting is a therapeutic tool for everyone with a variety of issues. If you are new to therapy and are looking for a way to change patterns of behavior, Brainspotting can help resolve the emotional and physical pain that keeps you stuck in those patterns.
If you have been in therapy before, but have the sense that your work could go deeper, Brainspotting can take therapy to another level of healing. If you are uncomfortable with talking about your past traumatic experiences, this modality will enable you to heal without having to tell or retell your story.
Lastly, Brainspotting can be used to enhance performance, creativity, and create regulation in your brain and body.
How effective are the results?
Clients report they are able to transform their mental-emotional and physical pain, find more calm and ease, and gain insight and more autonomy in the face of stubborn dynamics and habit patterns that keep them stuck.
