Brainspotting Therapy and Counseling in Troy MI

Brainspotting was developed as a trauma therapy and remains highly effective for addressing post-traumatic stress and related emotional challenges. When trauma occurs, the brain can store these experiences in an unprocessed form, causing ongoing emotional and physical reactions. Brainspotting helps by focusing on specific eye positions (“brainspots”) linked to these stuck experiences, allowing the brain to process and resolve them.

This approach also supports relief from panic attacks, depression, and performance-related anxiety, reducing tension and creating space for renewed energy and calm. Anxiety often stems from unresolved fear held in the nervous system, and brainspotting helps release these automatic stress responses so you can feel more centered instead of stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

Unlike therapies focused only on thoughts, brainspotting is somatic—it works with both the body and mind. Trauma and stress often manifest physically as tension, pain, or discomfort. By combining body awareness with mindful focus, brainspotting helps you notice where distress is held and gradually release it. Healing also unfolds within the supportive therapeutic relationship, where I guide you compassionately to stay safe and grounded. Many clients describe brainspotting as a gentle but deep form of healing.

Brainspotting for Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression in Troy MI

How Brainspotting Works
During sessions, we identify a target issue such as a memory, feeling, or physical symptom. We then locate the eye position linked to that experience and focus there while you process associated emotions, thoughts, and sensations. Over time, this helps your brain integrate the experience, reducing its intensity and impact. Unlike traditional talk therapy, brainspotting allows the body and brain to process naturally without recounting every detail.
