What is Brainspotting?
Trauma & Addiction Individual Coaching
Who is Brainspotting Effective For
Brainspotting reveals a client’s unprocessed traumas through fixed eye positions. Specific eye positions each link to their own “brainspot,” an area of the mind that retains thoughts and emotions. Clients fixate on troubling brainspots to uncover hidden mental challenges. Brainspotting a relatively new way to treat many traumas and mental challenges. In addictions, brainspotting is used to expose hidden wounds that trigger the habit. For this article, we’ll highlight the role of brainspotting in addiction recovery.

Coaching Perspective on Brain-Based Healing Modalities
In coaching work, we recognize that approaches like Brainspotting, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and hypnosis all help access deeper parts of the brain where emotional patterns and past experiences are stored. While they create similar internal states, each offers a different path depending on what a client needs most.
Brainspotting (BSP) is highly client-led.
In a coaching context, this approach empowers you to take the lead in your own healing process. You choose what you want to focus on, and we follow your internal cues. My role is to gently support and hold space while you explore what comes up. The use of a fixed eye position helps access deeper emotional material, often beyond words. This approach works especially well if you value autonomy and want to trust your own inner process.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is more structured.
Here, I guide you through a specific process designed to reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences. Using rhythmic eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, we help your brain reprocess stuck memories so they feel less overwhelming. This can be a great fit if you prefer a clear framework and step-by-step support.
Hypnosis involves more direct guidance.
In this approach, I actively guide you into a focused, relaxed state and offer suggestions to help shift patterns, beliefs, or behaviors. It’s a more coach-directed process, which can feel supportive if you’re looking for strong guidance and direction during sessions.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) focuses on the mind-body connection.
This method helps you gently process stored stress or trauma through body awareness. We work in small, manageable steps—moving between comfort and activation—to help your nervous system build resilience and respond more effectively. This is especially helpful if you want to feel more grounded, regulated, and connected to your body.

Separation & Divorce
One of the hardest things a person can face is separation and possibly divorce.
The fallout can be massive. Family, friends, and community may judge, require more information for approval, or withdraw love and affection. Finances become stressful for most and financial abuse is often associated with these situations.
Though many people stay for the children they are often the ones to be the hardest on their parents due to pain and confusion.
If you can identify with lost community and are facing rebuilding on your own please reach out.
We can assist you in navigating the messy middle and developing a plan to survive the madness.

Brainspotting ONLINE
Trauma Coaching Online
Reaching out to a coach or counselor for mental health help is a brave step! If you have been stuck and not able to heal I have hope for you and hope is a powerful thing. Don't give up on yourself and your brain, body, and soul's ability to heal no matter how complex the journey may be.
During your first session your intake and goals will be reviewed. A plan of care will be implemented with your goals at the center of every step. Obstacles are then identified and each plan acknowledges limits and history.
Brainspotting expedites healing for individuals that recognize their trauma but are powerless to stop their triggers. I use this process with couples who are unable to connect after traumatic events or having gone through disclosure and wanting to reintegrate connection.
