If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by past experiences, Brainspotting may offer the targeted healing you’ve been looking for. Brainspotting is a body-centered approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy, helping you access and process deep-seated trauma or emotional pain. This therapy acknowledges that trauma often isn’t fully processed in the mind alone but also in the body, where it can impact your responses, emotions, and daily life.

At Conejo Valley Family Counseling, we use Brainspotting to guide you in connecting with the parts of your brain that hold unresolved trauma, allowing for deep, lasting healing. This innovative approach leverages specific eye positions, known as “brainspots,” to help you access, process, and release stored emotions, memories, and beliefs that may have felt impossible to reach through other therapeutic methods.

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is based on the idea that specific points in your field of vision, or "brainspots," are directly connected to areas in your brain where unprocessed trauma may be stored. By focusing on a particular brainspot, we can bypass the more analytical parts of your brain and reach the core of emotional pain and trauma. This allows you to work through memories, release stuck emotions, and experience relief in a powerful, non-verbal way.

Is brainspotting right for you?

Brainspotting Therapy can be especially beneficial if you’re dealing with:

Persistent anxiety or depression

Traumatic experiences that still feel “active” or unresolved

Physical symptoms of trauma, such as chronic pain or tension

Emotional blocks or difficulty connecting with certain feelings

A sense of being “stuck” or unable to move forward

If traditional therapies haven’t brought the relief you need, Brainspotting can offer a more direct, body-centered approach to accessing and processing trauma. It’s a valuable tool for anyone who feels disconnected from their own emotions or weighed down by experiences that feel difficult to fully resolve.

What to expect

Brainspotting Therapy is a deeply personal, client-led process. During sessions, we’ll work together to identify a “brainspot”—a specific point in your visual field that allows you to access deeply held emotions or memories. As you focus on this spot, you’ll have the opportunity to notice and process any sensations, emotions, or thoughts that arise. Brainspotting provides a safe way to access parts of yourself that may have felt closed off or overwhelming, fostering deep, transformational healing. Many clients report feeling more calm, clear, and connected after Brainspotting sessions, as they release stored trauma and regain a sense of peace.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

  • If you’re struggling with unresolved trauma, emotional pain, or a feeling of being “stuck,” Brainspotting could be a powerful tool for healing. It’s particularly helpful for those who feel traditional talk therapy hasn’t reached the depths of their emotional or physical pain.

  • Brainspotting doesn’t require you to verbalize every detail of your trauma. Instead, the focus is on connecting with your body and allowing it to process emotions naturally. This can make Brainspotting a gentler approach for clients who find it difficult to discuss their trauma verbally.

  • Yes, you can. Brainspotting can be highly effective as an adjunctive therapy alongside work with another therapist. We often collaborate with adjunctive providers to ensure a cohesive and supportive therapeutic experience. This approach allows us to focus on Brainspotting’s deep, body-centered healing while your other therapist addresses additional areas of your mental health, creating a comprehensive support system for your healing journey.
