BRAINSPOTTING THERAPY: GENTLE, DEEP HEALING FOR TRAUMA
What is it?
Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy approach that helps individuals access and process deeply held experiences that may be stored in the body and nervous system, such as trauma, intense emotional pain, and chronic stress. Evylin is a registered psychologist at Horizon Counselling Service specially trained in this method, offering you a non-invasive way to heal the root of emotional distress.
HOW BRAINSPOTTING
WORKS
We use this method as part of our trauma-informed and client-centered care, adapting it to fit your comfort level and goals:
Eye Position Reveals Brain Activity: We find "brainspots"—specific eye positions that access parts of the brain storing unprocessed trauma or intense emotion.
Deep Healing Connection: Brainspotting utilizes the body’s signals and a focused eye gaze to gently process emotional pain held below conscious awareness. This respects the brain’s natural capacity to heal.
Safe, Attuned Presence: Your therapist provides a grounded, supportive relationship that helps your brain and nervous system reorganize and heal at their own pace.
BENEFITS OF BRAINSPOTTING
THERAPY
Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful approach that helps access and process the root of emotional and physical pain.
Process Trauma Without Retelling: It allows you to work through trauma and distress without needing to retell painful memories in detail, making it a safe option if you feel overwhelmed by traditional talk therapy.
Reduces Anxiety and Tension: By connecting with the body's natural cues and releasing long-held patterns of tension, it helps reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation.
Highly Adaptable: Because it is highly adaptable, Brainspotting can be used on its own, integrated with other therapies, or even used to enhance performance and creativity in athletes and professionals.
