Why Brainspotting

Feeling lost or stuck

You have been engaged in self-development for years. Yet, you struggle to get your work, relationships, or life on track in a sustainable way.

  • You feel lost and don’t know what to do.
  • You feel like you’re going in circles.
  • You experience high levels of stress and feel discouraged.
  • Your body is starting to resist.

How do you break your vicious cycle?

NOTHING SEEMS TO STICK

You’re resourceful, dedicated, creative, intelligent, and sensitive. You’ve tried various approaches, such as:

  • Blaming external circumstances or other people.
  • Changing your environment—starting a new job, business, partnership, or relationship.
  • Reading self-help books and talking about your struggles.
  • Labeling your problem as burnout, ADHD, HSP, HBG, stress, or depression.
  • Engaging in long-term cognitive therapy with a psychologist or psychotherapist.
  • Attending various alternative or spiritual workshops, sessions, or retreats.

Despite your efforts, nothing seems to create a real breakthrough. You might understand your struggles better, but nothing has changed. The only way forward is to look deeper, connect with your body, and bypass your controlling mind.

Why rational approaches don’t work
“For years, I struggled with this myself. I was deeply involved in personal development, but I kept feeling stuck. Just when things seemed to improve, I would fall back into the same patterns. This created stress and discouragement. Yet, I kept believing in a way out—and I found it by looking deeper and trusting those who had walked this path before me.”

UNDERLYING CAUSES

If you keep running into the same problems in different areas of your life, the root cause is likely not a single event (such as an accident). More often, it stems from structural insecurity or emotional unavailability from caregivers during childhood. These experiences can lead to complex or developmental trauma.

To cope, you may have disconnected from your body and retreated into your mind.

The root of complex trauma often lies in early childhood, during critical brain development stages. Any fear response that isn’t processed gets stored in the body, down to a cellular level.

Complex or developmental trauma requires a fundamentally different approach—one that focuses on the body and trauma processing beyond cognitive understanding.

Online Brainspotting is a safe and effective form of therapy for healing trauma. It can help with a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and physical complaints. There is also increasing scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness.

Recent research shows that Brainspotting led to a significant reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), physical complaints, stress, and social isolation in 80% of participants. Other studies indicate that, out of 16 examined therapy methods, Brainspotting is the most effective.

Holistic Approach

Brainspotting begins where most traditional talk therapies end. It is a powerful therapeutic method that helps you reach the root of your mental, emotional, and/or physical issues and heal them. With Brainspotting, you identify, process, and ultimately release the underlying neurophysiological sources of emotional and physical pain, trauma, and stress-related symptoms.

What are the benefits?

  • Physical and emotional trauma
  • Stress-related somatic complaints
  • Chronic pain and fatigue
  • Addiction (cravings)
  • ADHD and giftedness (HBG)
  • Overstimulation and hypersensitivity (HSP)
  • Issues with anger and aggression
  • Grief and processing difficulties
  • Anxiety, panic, and phobias
  • Deep-seated emotional issues
  • Self-confidence.

WHY ONLINE BRAINSPOTTING WORKS

Unlike traditional treatments, Brainspotting recognizes that we know very little about how the human system truly works. That’s why it doesn’t rely on cognitive control. Your body holds the answers—Brainspotting helps you access them.

During an online Brainspotting session, you focus on a specific point in your visual field while observing bodily sensations. This helps release stored emotions and trauma, even from preverbal stages of life.

Brainspotting allows you to remain in control throughout the healing process. Unlike EMDR, you don’t need to verbally recall traumatic memories. The focus is on healing in the present moment.

Brainspotting is not just effective because of the method itself. Deep healing happens within the therapeutic relationship. A Brainspotting therapist provides a safe and structured space where you can process trauma layer by layer.
