Brainspotting
A brain–body approach that helps you access and process trauma, emotional pain, and stuck patterns—gently and effectively. Brainspotting helps you use your natural mind-body system to heal by working with where you look, what you feel, and what your brain is ready to process.
Your body holds what your mind may not have words for.
Brainspotting is a therapeutic tool that helps identify, process, and release sources of emotional pain and trauma. It is based on the idea that where we look can connect to how we feel—especially when emotions are stored deep in the nervous system.
In a Brainspotting session, your therapist will guide your eye position using a pointer while you also tune in to what is happening inside your body. This might include sensations like tightness, heaviness, warmth, shakiness, or numbness. Rather than “talking your way through” everything, Brainspotting supports your brain and nervous system in doing the work of processing—often at a pace that feels steady, contained, and safe.
At Refuge, Brainspotting is used to help clients move through experiences that still feel present—whether the source is a specific trauma, long-term stress, anxiety, grief, relational wounds, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain.
You don’t have to relive your pain to heal it.
Brainspotting can help you process what’s been holding you back.
