Brainspotting: Unlock Healing Through Eye Positions in Houston, Texas
Are you struggling with trauma, anxiety, or emotional pain? Brainspotting therapy at CCHTX in the Houston Heights offers a powerful, evidence-based approach to heal past wounds and unlock lasting transformation.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a revolutionary therapy modality that helps individuals process and release trauma, negative emotions, and limiting patterns. By utilizing specific eye positions to access deep brain regions where trauma is stored, Brainspotting offers a powerful tool for healing and growth.
Imagine that "where you look affects how you feel." This is the philosophy behind Brainspotting (BSP). BSP was developed in the early 2000s by psychologist David Grand, and it’s effectiveness is backed by over 20 years of research. BSP builds on the idea that certain specific eye positions are linked to specific emotions and memories.
Finding a "brainspot" helps release negative emotional charge and promotes processing of unaddressed experiences. It's a collaborative process between therapist and client, focusing on identifying and releasing emotional patterns stored in the body and mind.
How Does Brainspotting Work?
More than just talk therapy, Brainspotting is a collaborative journey between you and your therapist.
A typical Brainspotting session involves:
1. Set up: Getting in a comfortable seated position and playing bilateral music using headphones.
2. Identifying a focus: Client and therapist pinpoint the issue to be addressed.
3. Exploring emotions: Client identifies emotions and sensations associated with the focus.
4. Finding the brainspot: Using bilateral sounds and a pointer, the therapist helps the client find a fixed eye position linked to the identified emotions.
5. Mindful processing: The client observes and allows whatever arises (emotions, memories, sensations) without judgment.
6. Release and integration: The therapist supports the client in processing and integrating the released material.
