A Specialized Approach for Trauma, Anxiety, and Emotional Healing
At Safe Space Counseling, we are proud to offer Brainspotting Therapy, a cutting-edge approach to processing trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain. Brainspotting works by gently identifying, processing, and releasing experiences that are stored deep in the brain and nervous system, allowing for powerful emotional healing that traditional talk therapy sometimes cannot reach.
​
Whether you are struggling with trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, or feeling “stuck,” Brainspotting provides a compassionate, safe, and highly effective way to access and release what’s holding you back.
WHAT IS BRAINSPOTTING?
Brainspotting is a focused treatment method that uses specific eye position, known as “brainspots,” to access and process unprocessed trauma, emotional blocks, and stress stored in the subcortical brain.
​
​By working with both the brain and the body, Brainspotting helps resolve symptoms that often feel “beyond words,” including:
-
Post-traumatic stress and complex trauma
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Depression and emotional numbness
-
Performance anxiety or creative blocks
-
Chronic pain and physical tension
Brainspotting is known for its gentle yet powerful approach, allowing clients to process at their own pace without having to retell every painful detail of their experiences.
HOW DOES BRAINSPOTTING WORK?
Identifying the Brainspot:
Your therapist helps you identify eye positions connected to emotional or physical activation related to a memory or issue.
Focused Processing:
With your gaze gently fixed, your brain and body begin to process the “stuck” experience naturally and safely, while your therapist provides support and attunement.
Integration and Healing:
Brainspotting allows for deep integration, often resulting in reduced symptoms, a calmer nervous system, and a greater sense of clarity and relief.
How Brainspotting Helps You Heal
Work-related injuries can have far-reaching consequences that extend beyond physical pain. Employees may experience psychological stress, trauma, and emotional difficulties that can hinder the healing process and impact their daily functioning. Therapy plays a crucial role in:
-
Trauma & PTSD: Brainspotting helps release traumatic memories stored in the body and brain, reducing triggers and emotional distress.
-
Anxiety & Stress: It calms the nervous system and helps clients find relief from worry, panic, or hypervigilance.
-
Grief & Loss: Brainspotting can gently process unresolved emotions and support healing after loss.
-
Performance & Creativity: Many athletes, performers, and professionals use Brainspotting to overcome performance blocks and increase focus.

-
Feels emotionally “stuck” or triggered despite traditional therapy
