Why Talking Isn’t Enough?

You can understand your trauma and retell the story a hundred times, yet still feel anxious or stuck. Why?

 

That's because trauma isn’t only in your mind—it’s stored in your body. When your body catches up with your brain, what’s right will finally feel right.

How Brainspotting Works?

Brainspotting is a relational somatic (body-based) therapy.  A Brainspotting Therapist does not need you to talk or retell your story. Instead, they observe your natural body reflexes, such as eye positions and sensations, to locate where unprocessed experiences are stuck. With gentle focus, your nervous system can release and heal without retraumatization.

The Three Shifts

What comes after processing often unfolds in three layers:

  1. Integration – The body and brain reorganize. What was once overwhelming becomes part of your story without controlling you. The “charge” is gone.

  2. Expansion – Energy that was locked in survival mode is now freed up. People often notice more clarity, creativity, and capacity to connect.

  3. Embodiment – A deeper sense of safety in the body. Instead of reacting from old wounds, you start living from choice and presence.
