Brainspotting Therapy for Unconventional Thinkers

Brainspotting: Discover Relief When Words Aren’t Enough

A place where your nervous system gets to reset.

If you’re a deep feeling, deep thinking person - always doing, striving, giving - you don’t have to carry quiet burdens anymore. Your nervous system is allowed to soften here. No more bracing for impact - just space to settle, recalibrate, and reconnect.

You’re balancing career, family, friendships…and somewhere along the way, you forgot what it feels like to simply be. Anxiety, trauma, grief, not feeling like you’re enough, and worn-out patterns have overstayed their welcome.

Like EMDR, Brainspotting doesn’t rely on talking alone - it helps your body process what words can’t reach. It may be the piece that finally brings relief where talk therapy alone hasn’t. I offer Brainspotting to deep thinkers and feelers here in San Antonio.

What Is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting (BSP), developed by Dr. David Grand, focuses on specific “spots” in your visual field, tapping into the brain’s natural healing capacity - without reliving your painful story.

It helps you process and release stored trauma and tension by tuning into where your body holds it…because where your eyes rest affects how you feel.

In BSP sessions, I’ll guide you in tracking and unlocking these points, allowing deep, body-based healing.

With support, even the heaviest stories don’t have to live in your body forever. Brainspotting gently unwinds the places your past has taken up residence, so you can feel more fully present in your life.

FAQ: Brainspotting Therapy in San Antonio

  • Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy that helps you process trauma, anxiety, and stuck emotional pain by working with the connection between your eyes, brain, and nervous system.

    It taps into your brain’s natural ability to heal itself, often reaching places words alone can’t.

  • In Brainspotting, we find a “brainspot,” which is an eye position that connects to an area in your brain where unprocessed memories or feelings live.

    As you focus there, your brain and body begin to process what’s been stuck, gently releasing stored tension and emotion.

  • Brainspotting can help with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, overwhelm, performance blocks, attachment pain, and even creative blocks.
