Perfectionism often looks like overworking, overplanning, or constantly chasing “just right.”

Under the surface, there’s usually much more happening—things like fear of failure, tying your worth to achievements, or feeling like you always need to be in control.

At Pacific Counseling & Trauma Center, we help you get to the root of these patterns. Through Brainspotting and other evidence-based therapies, we work with the nervous system to release the stress and self-criticism that perfectionism often hides.

✨ If you feel ready to explore what’s beneath the surface, contact us today to start your healing journey.

If you’re new to Brainspotting, it can be hard to picture how it actually works.

👀 Brainspotting uses specific points in your visual field—called brainspots—that are linked to where trauma and distress can feel “stuck” in the body. By focusing on these points, the brain and body can begin to process and release what’s been held onto for so long. ➡️ Swipe through to learn more.

If you’ve been curious about Brainspotting or want support on your own healing journey, reach out to Pacific Counseling & Trauma Center to learn more. 💙

If you’re new to Brainspotting, it’s easy to be unsure about what it really is. Some assume it’s just an eye movement exercise or a simple relaxation technique, but it’s much more than that.

Brainspotting is grounded in neuroscience. By using points in the visual field to access where trauma is stored in the brain and body, it helps release stress at the root. The result is a gentle, powerful therapy that supports deep healing.

At Pacific Counseling & Trauma Center, our therapists specialize in Brainspotting to help clients move beyond trauma and reclaim their lives. Reach out to us to learn how we can help you heal. 🩵

If you’ve been on the fence about trying Brainspotting and talk therapy hasn’t quite brought you the level of healing you’re looking for, these 5 signs can help you decide if it’s worth exploring. 🪄🧠

Brainspotting is a gentle, body-based therapy that helps you process what’s been stuck for years, whether that’s unresolved trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, or creative blocks. It works at the root, helping you move beyond simply managing symptoms to making lasting changes.

Talk therapy can be powerful, but sometimes you need a different approach that engages both the mind and body in the healing process. If any of this resonates, our team would love to help you take the next step. 👇

🗣️ Most people start their healing journey in talk therapy. It’s familiar, widely available, and offers a supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions. And while talk therapy can be incredibly helpful, sometimes it doesn’t reach the deeper layers, particularly when distress is showing up in physical symptoms or nervous system patterns that are hard to explain.

That’s where Brainspotting comes in. 🧠 Brainspotting uses specific eye positions to access the parts of the brain and nervous system where trauma is held. It allows for deeper processing, often with minimal talking, and helps move stuck emotional and physical responses out of the body.

Both approaches can be transformative, but if talk therapy hasn’t felt like enough, Brainspotting may be the missing piece. 🧩

Brainspotting doesn’t look like traditional talk therapy, and that’s part of what makes it so powerful.

There’s less talking, more stillness, and a focus on what’s happening in your body, not just your thoughts. But there’s science behind it. 🧠 Brainspotting helps your brain process experiences that might still be stuck in your nervous system, even if you can’t always explain them in words.

Trauma doesn’t always show up the way we expect it to. Sometimes, its impact is subtle, woven into thoughts, behaviors, or patterns we’ve come to see as “just how we are.” But when we pause and look closer, we may realize these responses were shaped by moments when we didn’t feel safe, seen, or supported.

Making these connections can be the beginning of feeling more at ease in your own mind and body.

At PCTC, we offer trauma-focused care using advanced therapies like Brainspotting and EMDR. If you’re ready to explore what healing could look like for you, we’re here to help. 🩵

What we do

Pacific Counseling and Trauma Center in Folsom, CA offers individual, couples, and family therapy for any type of emotional trauma. Tailoring every treatment plan for the individual client, you can expect a highly personalized therapy approach designed to help you reach your therapeutic goals. Each clinician will set concrete goals with you at the onset of therapy.

TRAUMA THERAPY:

Pacific Counseling and Trauma Center specializes in Brainspotting, one of the most cutting edge emotional trauma therapies available. Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional and physical pain, and unhealthy coping mechanisms associated with PTSD, anxiety, and emotional trauma. It allows the client to channel the healthy "head" knowledge they possess to transform debilitating traumatic memories and the negative beliefs they feel in relation to the incident. This provides rapid and long lasting change in the client.

To learn more about Brainspotting, go to www.brainspotting.com, or call our office at (916) 608-4569 to discuss any questions you may have regarding your treatment
