Austin Brainspotting Counseling
Feeling stuck or unable to break through a particular emotional or physical experience could mean your brain has become overwhelmed somewhere along the way, leaving memories or emotions frozen in its deepest parts – interrupted and unresolved.
In Brainspotting, we work together to locate an eye position relevant to the issues you are focused on, and I help you to mindfully witness your brain and body’s inner process – promoting deep resolution and relief from what’s been holding you back.
Brainspotting can be helpful if you wish to release the effects of trauma and other blocks to your personal growth, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Relational issues
- Addiction
- Flashbacks
- Panic attacks
- Feeling stuck or blocked
- Unresolved grief or loss
- Psychosomatic symptoms
- Sleep problems
- Pain
Sometimes Talk Therapy is not Enough
David Grand, PhD, created Brainspotting. Grand, a Master Trainer and Practitioner in EMDR (a widely used trauma treatment), realized that by combining the strengths of brain-based and talk therapies, Brainspotting could effectively address issues that talk therapy alone can take years to heal.
He also noticed that recipients of Brainspotting often experience it as a gentler alternative to EMDR – particularly in cases of complex trauma or high sensitivity.
- Brainspotting can be integrated into any form of therapy.
- It can also be used to enhance or explore Creativity, Spirituality and Performance.
