Trauma treatment in Westchester, NY
Brainspotting is helpful when words are inadequate to express what is troubling you
Sometimes depression and anxiety take up residence in our bodies, and it seems impossible that talking about how we feel will offer us the relief we need.
Depression can make you feel weighed down and heavy, like you are trying to push a boulder uphill. Anxiety can feel leave you feeling bound up, frozen and unable to act. You want to feel better, but it feels like talking about what is troubling you is either out of reach or will take too long. You might not even know why you feel this way. Maybe you have experienced trauma, and you don’t know how to get to the other side, to feel like yourself again.
Brainspotting therapy can help free you from your pain, so you can live more fully.
How Brainspotting works
You can access your ability to heal from trauma.
Brainspotting is a powerful tool for healing trauma. It connects with the deepest parts of the brain, where trauma is stored and gives us access to heal these wounds. Trauma is not stored in our “thinking brain,” so finding the words to work through trauma can be difficult. Brainspotting bypasses the frontal lobe, making it easier to work through and integrate traumatic experiences. Brainspotting also offers tools to regulate our nervous system and connect with inner resources.
We work together to locate specific points (spots) in your visual field that correspond with what you would like to work on. We stay with that point, with the help of a fixed object, such as a pointer, while your brain “works” to process trauma. We will also locate points that correspond to comfort and calm, creating space for a soothing experience. This can become an indispensable tool for self regulation.
