If you’re seeking Brainspotting therapy to work through trauma, emotional blocks, or experiences that feel stored in your body, you’re in the right place. Brainspotting is a gentle, body-based approach that helps access deeper healing when insight or talk therapy alone hasn’t been enough.

Let’s explore what Brainspotting therapy is, how it works, and how it can support your healing journey.

Brainspotting therapy is a trauma informed, brain body therapy that helps identify and process unhealed experiences stored in the nervous system. It works by locating specific eye positions, called brainspots, that connect to areas of emotional or physical activation in the body.

Rather than analyzing or forcing insight, Brainspotting therapy allows your brain and body to process experiences organically, at a pace that feels supportive. This approach helps release emotional blocks, reduce distress, and create more space for regulation and clarity.

Brainspotting therapy is especially helpful when emotions or sensations feel difficult to explain but are clearly felt in the body.

Brainspotting therapy may be helpful if you experience:

• Emotional reactions that feel intense or sudden without a clear cause
• Persistent anxiety or emotional overwhelm
• Feeling stuck, blocked, or disconnected from yourself
• Physical sensations linked to stress or emotional distress
• Difficulty processing past experiences through talking alone

A sense that your body is holding onto something unresolved

These responses are often signs of a nervous system doing its best to protect you, not indications that something is wrong.

You may benefit from Brainspotting therapy if you find yourself asking questions like:

• Do certain emotions or sensations come up without clear memories attached?
• Do I feel blocked or stuck, even though I understand my experiences intellectually?
• Does my body react before my mind, with tension, shutdown, or overwhelm?
• Have I tried traditional talk therapy but still feel something remains unprocessed?
• Do I want a therapy approach that feels less verbal and more body centered?

Brainspotting therapy can be especially supportive when healing needs to happen at a deeper, nervous system level.

At Vida Collective Counseling, Brainspotting therapy is offered through a trauma informed and compassionate lens that prioritizes safety, attunement, and pacing.

Our approach to Brainspotting therapy includes:

• Creating a sense of emotional and physical safety in the therapeutic space
• Allowing your nervous system to lead the pace of processing
• Supporting regulation before, during, and after sessions
• Integrating insights so changes feel grounded and sustainable

We believe healing unfolds naturally when the body feels supported, not pressured.

Brainspotting therapy can support healing around topics such as:

• Trauma and overwhelming life experiences
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Emotional blocks or shutdown
• Attachment wounds and relational stress
• Self esteem and internalized beliefs
• Physical tension connected to emotional experiences

Each session is guided by your nervous system and readiness, honoring both your emotional and physical experience.
