Brainspotting therapist in Houston for women who want to stop running away from their emotions, so they can drastically improve their relationships.
You’ve thought of going to therapy, but the idea of talking for an hour, or telling a stranger your entire business, makes you feel sick. You either feel like you have locked emotions or too many emotions. Either way, you want to figure out how to get these emotions under control.
Maybe you’ve been told that emotions are bad or that you’re “Too emotional.” And so you’ve learned how to hold it all in. But you feel like you’re gonna explode.
You are a thinker and a super responsible woman. You live by check lists, notes and to do items. But you want to tap into your emotions without all the talking involved.
Enter brainspotting therapy in houston.
It’s a simple way to give your thinking, rational brain (also known as the neocortex) a break so that your emotional, reptilian brain can finally shine. The truth is most of the answers to your emotional dilemmas are trapped in your brain. My job is to help you unlock those answers and heal your brain through brainspotting therapy.
Brainspotting therapy in Houston is very similar to EMDR trauma therapy.
Brainspotting works well for:
People who have experienced trauma or anxiety and want to heal from it. It’s great because you don’t necessarily have to talk about the traumatic events in detail.
Executives, entrepreneurs and leaders who feel like they are stuck in the decision making process. You want to stop second guessing yourself and quickly get to the solutions part.
Actors, athletes, performers and creatives who feel like they have a mental block. Brainspotting will help you access the part of your brain where all the scary emotions are trapped. Once you process them, your brain can heal.
People who have a hard time regulating their emotions. Your emotions feel HUGE and you want to learn how to appropriately manage them, rather than running away from them.
What is brainspotting and how does brainspotting actually work?
Step 1: Our initial consult call
The first step is our initial 15-minute consult call. We’ll talk about your experiences, why you’re seeking support in counseling, as well as your goals for therapy. That way, we’re super clear on what we want to achieve.
Step 2: brainspotting therapy sessions
The idea behind brainspotting is “Where you look affects how you feel.”
Here is a link to a blog post on “How does brainspotting work?”
When your brain is processing a situation, your eyes naturally drift off to a specific location (known as a gazespot). By staring at that gazespot, you allow your brain to unlock hidden emotions in a natural way.
During our brainspotting therapy sessions, I don’t do a lot of talking. I give you the space to allow your brain to naturally bring up trapped emotions. In the brainspotting therapy session, I’ll use multiple tools such as biolateral music, a pointer and just the natural gaze of your eyes. This will help you rewire your brain.
In session, I’ll have you naturally stare at a pointer or at a specific location. This allows your thinking brain to quiet down, so that your feeling brain can take over and gently bring up all the trapped emotions.
Step 3: A healed brain
You feel like you have gently brought up stuff that has been trapped inside your brain for years. Your brain heals from past hurts and processes what it needs to.
