Traditional talk therapy may provide insights but doesn’t always access the areas of the brain where trauma is stored. The trauma we experience as children can become trapped in our limbic system and brain stem, which are linked to our body’s autonomic nervous system. This makes it harder to fully heal using only mental approaches.

• Shame often leads to feelings of being "broken" or "flawed."
• Traditional therapy doesn't always address the physical trauma stored in the body.
• Emotional sensations (tightness in chest, jaw, stomach) are linked to trauma in the brain.
• Brainspotting targets the deep parts of the brain responsible for trauma, helping release it from your body.
• This approach works to restore balance to your nervous system and promote healing.
