Brainspotting In Colorado
I provide Brainspotting in Longmont, Colorado. Services are available throughout the rest of Colorado via telehealth as well.
Brainspotting is a therapeutic method that uses neurobiological information to identify, process, and release sources of emotional pain.
I use Brainspotting to work with your brain and body, rather than against them, so that you can experience actual change.
If you’re curious about what it could be like to address the painful parts of your life in a new way, reach out for a complimentary consultation.
About Brainspotting
Brainspotting was developed by David Grand. An early user of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Grand developed the Brainpsotting modality to increase the options available for treating and transforming trauma.
In traditional talk therapy, the area of your brain we are working with is called the neocortex. This is the frontmost part of your brain responsible for attention, thought, and perception.
Brainspotting works by accessing the area of your brain responsible for emotional processing, called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for processing and regulating emotions and memory, and operates in a way that is often undetectable on a conscious level.
In a Brainspotting session, we gain access to your limbic system by identifying points in your visual field that connect to the experience of specific bodily sensations and emotion- these points are referred to as Brainspots.
Once a Brainspot is identified, processing can begin and change is often close behind.
Brainspotting FAQs
-
Brainspotting can yield results within a short period of time. Because of the personal nature of this work, there is a range in the number of sessions any one person might attend. Some people notice results from Brainspotting in a handful of sessions, while other may require several months of Brainspotting sessions.
All Brainspotting sessions are tailed to your specific situation and goals. Regular check-ins are part of the process to ensure you are receiving what you need from this method of treatment.
