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.

EMDR or Brainspotting: Which Approach Is Right for You?

KV Psychology offers two highly effective, evidence-based trauma therapies: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting. Both approaches are designed to help individuals process and resolve distressing experiences, often more efficiently than traditional talk therapy alone.

EMDR is a structured, goal-oriented treatment that uses guided bilateral stimulation to help reprocess specific traumatic memories and reduce the impact of negative beliefs.

Brainspotting is a more flexible, client-centred approach that uses focused eye positions to access and process trauma that may be stored more deeply in the brain and body. It can be particularly beneficial for complex or longstanding trauma.

Both therapies are effective in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns.

Olga Scibior works with adults, providing in-person EMDR and Brainspotting sessions. She has immediate availability every Wednesday.

Please contact KV Psychology to learn more or to schedule an appointment.

When stress feels overwhelming, grounding yourself in the present moment can help calm your nervous system and restore focus. Here are simple techniques you can practice anytime, anywhere:

☐ 5-4-3-2-1 Technique
Name 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. This helps bring your attention back to the present.

☐ Mindful Breathing
Try 4-7-8 breathing (inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8) or box breathing to slow your heart rate and calm your body.

☐ Body Scan
Sit quietly and mentally scan your body from head to toe. Notice areas of tension and gently relax them.

☐ Mindful Walking
Take a slow walk and focus on the feeling of your feet touching the ground and the rhythm of your breath.

☐ Digital Break
Step away from screens, close your eyes, and take a few slow breaths to reduce sensory overload.

Small moments of mindfulness throughout the day can make a big difference in managing stress and supporting your overall well-being.

The winter months can bring shorter days, less sunlight, and changes in routine that affect mood and energy. There are simple, effective ways to support your mental well-being during this season:

☐ Maximize Sunlight
Spend time outdoors during daylight hours, keep curtains open, and consider using a 10,000-lux light therapy lamp if natural light is limited.

☐ Stay Active
Regular movement. Even a 10-minute walk can reduce stress, boost endorphins, and improve mood.

☐ Maintain a Routine
Keep a consistent sleep schedule to help regulate your body’s internal clock, which can be disrupted by reduced sunlight.

☐ Stay Connected
Combat isolation by planning regular calls, virtual gatherings, or coffee dates with friends and family.

☐ Support Your Nutrition
Aim for a balanced diet, even when comfort food cravings hit. If you have limited sun exposure, speak with your doctor about whether Vitamin D supplementation may be appropriate.

☐ Engage in Hobbies
Use the season to explore cozy, fulfilling activities like reading, painting, baking, or learning something new.

It’s normal to experience a dip in mood during the winter months. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a mental health professional for support. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

💫Meet Dr.Virginia Newton💫

"As a Clinical Neuropsychologist, I focus on the connection between brain functioning and thinking skills, emotions, and behaviour. My academic background includes a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and additional specialized training in Neuropsychology, which has allowed me to help clients with a range of medical and psychological conditions.

Often, I work with clients on a session-by-session basis so we can discuss problems and possible solutions without rushing. I use a collaborative therapeutic approach, which means that we work together to clarify your goals for neuropsychological counselling or assessment and to develop a personalized treatment plan.
We can also use our sessions to go over the results of a previous psychological or neuropsychological assessment, to determine the next best steps for you.

I provide private clinical neuropsychological screening assessments, as well as psychological and neuropsychological assessments for Transport Canada applicants and Veterans Affairs Canada clients. I do not currently offer assessments for medical-legal purposes (for example, personal injury claims, disability assessments, or capacity evaluations)."
