Brainspotting Therapy for Unconventional Thinkers
Brainspotting: Discover Relief When Words Aren’t Enough
A place where your nervous system gets to reset and heal.
If you’re a deep feeling, deep thinking person, always doing, striving, giving, you don’t have to carry quiet burdens anymore.
Through somatic, attachment-focused therapy, your body no longer has to keep watch.
No more preparing for the worst to happen, just space to settle, reset, and reconnect with your own body again.
You’re balancing career, family, friendship, and somewhere along the way, you forgot what it feels like to simply be.
You keep moving because slowing down stirs too much up, the anxiety, the old grief, the sense that you’re never quite enough. These patterns have kept you going, but they’ve also kept you tired.
Like EMDR, Brainspotting Therapy doesn’t rely on talking alone. It helps your body process what words sometimes can’t reach, the places your mind has tried to make sense of, but your nervous system still holds.
It can be the piece that finally brings relief where talk therapy alone hasn’t.
I offer Brainspotting Therapy in San Antonio for reflective, sensitive feelers ready to feel grounded and connected again, to life, to others, and most of all, to themselves.
What Is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting (BSP), is a body-based, neuroscience-informed therapy developed by Dr. David Grand. It focuses on specific points in your visual field, tiny spots that connect directly to your subcortical brain and nervous system.
This approach taps into the brain’s natural healing capacity, and helps you process trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, performance blocks, and emotional overwhelm, without needing to relive your story.
Through this bottom-up approach, Brainspotting helps release stored trauma and tension by tuning into where your body holds it, because where you look affects how you feel.
Sometimes the body tells the story long before words arrive, a flicker in your gaze, a catch in your breath, tiny doorways the mind could never find on its own.
In Brainspotting sessions, we follow those subtle cues together. With attunement and focused awareness, your nervous system begins to process and unwind what’s been held for too long.
It’s not about talking more. It’s about finally letting your body finish what it started.
With support, even the heaviest stories don’t have to live in your body forever. Brainspotting helps your body back into regulation, safety, and emotional balance.
How Brainspotting Therapy Helps
The Deeper Healing Power of Brainspotting Therapy
Brainspotting Therapy helps you reach the places that talking alone can’t always touch.
It works beneath insight, where emotion, memory, and body awareness meet, helping you process what’s been stored, not just understood.
You may:
Have experienced PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, medical trauma, religious or spiritual trauma, combat trauma, grief & loss, or other overwhelming life experiences, and talk therapy hasn’t reached the deeper layers.
Carry attachment style pain and patterns that shape how you trust and connect.
Struggle with people pleasing, blurred boundaries, or over-giving.
Tend to lean into perfectionism and find it hard to slow down without guilt.
Feel weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm that lives as much in your body as in your mind.
Be navigating grief, from loss, change, or the ache of what never was, and ready for more somatic therapy for emotional healing.
Identify as a high-functioning, creative thinker or a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) who processes deeply.
If you’ve ever thought: I’ve done therapy. Why am I still stuck?
Brainspotting may be the missing piece your brain and body finally work together to move what’s been frozen in place.
Brainspotting often complements attachment and somatic work, helping access what words can’t always reach. You can learn more about how this integrates with Attachment, Trauma & PTSD, and Anxiety.
What a Brainspotting Session Feels Like
A slowing down. A pause.
Space for your body to unwind and your mind to just be.
Relief doesn’t have to come through words. It begins in your nervous system, through stillness, presence, and the ability to just be.

Both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Both Brainspotting and EMDR work with your brain’s natural healing processes.
EMDR uses structured, bilateral sets of eye movements, tapping, or tones (sounds) to reprocess memories.
Brainspotting is quieter and more flexible in that it helps you focus inward at your own pace, following your body’s signals instead of a set protocol.
-
No. One of the benefits of Brainspotting is that you don’t have to tell every detail of what happened for it to work.
You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Your brain and body do much of the healing work beneath the surface.
