​What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting (BSP) locates points in the client’s visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. BSP makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. With BSP, Luisa helps clients locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. BSP is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship. BSP taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability. BSP can also be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience. BSP is designed as a therapeutic tool that can be integrated into many of the healing modalities. 
Who does Brainspotting work with?

​Brainspotting is effective for adults, adolescents and children who experience a wide variety of emotional and somatic conditions. Brainspotting is particularly effective with trauma-based situations, helping to identify and heal underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression and other behavioral conditions. It can also be used with performance and creativity enhancement. Brainspotting gives Luisa access to both brain and body processes. Its goal is to bypass the conscious, neocortical thinking to access the deeper, subcortical emotional and body-based parts of the brain.
As a client, why choose Brainspotting?

​Clients often fall into two categories. The first being those who are seeking therapy for the first time. The second are people who have been in therapy before who are seeking a therapist with new techniques. With focus and precision, one can find with eye positions (Brainspots) where the trauma, anxiety, depression or behavioral problems are held in the brain. This allows the brain to process from the inside out and from the bottom up.
