Brainspotting
Does Telling the Story Only Make It Worse?
Something hard happened to you, and it still hasn’t let go.
It started with an accident, a physical loss, or one thing too many seen as a first responder or a veteran.
Ever since, you’ve been over-cautious and on guard, with nightmares and flashbacks that keep showing up.
And every time you tell the story, the whole thing floods back in.
Give Your Brain Another Way In
Sometimes talk therapy only retraumatizes you.
That’s why I use Brainspotting.
It gives your brain a different way into the memory, one where you don’t have to walk through every detail out loud.
Look Up at Your Own Night Sky
This is gonna sound a little strange, so stay with me.
Think of your brain as a sky at night, with every experience you’ve ever had shining as its own star.
One star burns brighter than all the others, and it’s the one that keeps you up at night.
The direction you look connects to how your brain holds that memory.
Let Your Brain Do the Work
Together, we find the eye position linked to that bright star.
Then your brain does the work of processing it, while I stay right beside you.
What we’re working toward is a sky where that star is still there, just no longer the brightest thing in it.
Stay in Charge of Every Session
I realize trying something new is scary, and I’ll keep our time together calm and steady.
You decide how fast we go and when we pause.
Come with an open mind, and be honest with me about what you notice along the way.
If Brainspotting doesn’t feel right for you, say so, and we’ll find another route together.
