What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a gentle, body–brain focused therapy that helps individuals process emotional pain, trauma, and stuck patterns by accessing the areas of the brain where these experiences are stored.

Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting is grounded in the idea that where you look affects how you feel.

By using eye position, Brainspotting can access deeper parts of the brain where overwhelming or unprocessed experiences are held—particularly the areas responsible for emotion, memory, and survival responses.

This approach supports healing at a natural pace, allowing the brain and body to do the work they are designed to do.

If you are interested in learning more about these services, please feel free to reach out to our office.

Did you know that Brainspotting is based on the idea that trauma can become “stuck” in the body? When this happens, those unresolved feelings may show up as both physical and emotional challenges.

Our bodies are naturally designed to maintain balance (homeostasis). But when trauma gets “frozen” in the system, that balance isn’t helpful—it keeps us stuck in survival mode instead of healing mode.

Brainspotting works to “reset” the brain and body’s memory of trauma by accessing areas where processing was interrupted. It focuses on the brain-body connection, helping integrate experiences that weren’t fully processed at the time.

It’s part of a growing group of “bottom-up” therapies, including:
Somatic Experiencing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Unlike traditional “top-down” talk therapy (which works through the conscious mind), bottom-up therapies aim to release physical stress stored in the body, allowing emotional stress to release as well.

Brainspotting works with the midbrain, which helps control vision, hearing, sleep, and movement. When trauma happens, this part of the brain can shift into a freeze response to protect you—great if you’re facing a tiger, but less helpful for psychological trauma. The challenge? Your body doesn’t always know the difference.

We currently have some Wednesday appointments available with Olga Scibior. If you’re interested in booking, please call our office to schedule your appointment.
