You're intrigued, but it still a bit skeptical.
You're into it, but not totally sure you understand it.
I invite you to try this brief experiment:
Bring to mind a recent experience that was somewhat distressing (nothing hugely upsetting; something simple but memorable).
Hold this memory of your experience clearly in your mind.
As you keep this experience in mind- What thoughts come up?
What emotions start to surface?
Notice where you feel those emotions in your body.
Notice the intensity of your emotions in your body.
Where are you looking?
Now, notice what happens when you look further to the right.
To the left.
Straight ahead.
Does the emotional intensity shift? Did it increase? Decrease?
Did the feelings in your body move or change?
Brainspotting relates to where you look affects how you feel.
During Brainspotting, we're noticing what direction your eyes tend towards as you reflect on an experience. We're combining this with focused mindfulness as we allow the the body to process the experience fully within the context of relational attunement between the client and counselor.
The identified distress begins to shift towards a state of calm and greater peace as your nervous system begins to move towards a state of greater regulation.
As previously unresolved traumas or emotional blocks are cleared, it becomes easier to stay grounded in the present moment and engage the body’s natural self-soothing tendencies. Memories begin to feel more manageable and triggers become less destabilizing.
