Brainspotting Therapy in Dallas & Online Across Texas

Let go of the pain from your past. 

Feel confident about the future.

It feels like you’ve been carrying something heavy with you for some time.

 
Whether it’s a memory from your childhood or a more recent memory, it’s something that you’d like to release but aren’t sure how. Maybe you’ve talked about it before, in therapy or just to trusted people in your life, but it seems like no amount of talking has really helped you heal from what happened. Or, maybe, it’s something you find difficult to talk about because it’s either too painful or scary, you’re not sure how to describe or articulate it, or the memory itself isn’t very clear.

All you know now is that you’re tired of feeling anxious, restless, and weighed down. You’ve managed to cope with those feelings for this long, and generally “have it together” according to the people in your life. But you can’t help but wonder what would be different if you could stop reliving those painful experiences and fully feel present in your life.

Maybe you’ve heard about experiential therapy methods—meaning ones that incorporate physical elements like eye movements to target memories or pain that are stored in the body—being helpful for moving on from trauma, but are overwhelmed by the thought of having to unpack your worst memories and be overtaken by painful emotions. 

With Brainspotting, you have full control of your experience, can speak as much or as little as you’d like, and find relief from what’s been troubling you.

Brainspotting can help with…

It’s possible to turn the page on trauma.

Brainspotting can help get you to the next chapter in your life.

What To Expect

1. Get in Touch

   We know that seeking therapy is a huge step—especially when looking for support for trauma or PTSD—and encourage you to feel proud that you’re here right now. 
   

   Once you’ve submitted an inquiry form on our contact page, a member of our team will reach out to schedule a consultation with a therapist suited to your needs. On this consultation call, you’ll have a chance to ask any questions you may have, and determine if you feel the therapist you’ve been matched with is a good fit. If they are, you’ll be able to schedule your first appointment, which will either take place in-person in Dallas or online from anywhere in Texas.

2. Get Treatment Tailored to You

   In all the work we’ll do together, it’s so important to us that you always feel safe and valued. Know that we will never force you to talk about or do anything you don’t want to, and all the work we do will be at a pace you feel comfortable with.

   After you and your therapist have spent some time getting to know one another in your first few sessions, you’ll choose what memories you’d like to work through. Again, you don’t have to articulate these memories if you don’t want to, you simply have to know what they are in your own mind. 

   Then, your therapist will guide you through choosing an eye position that will help your brain target that specific memory, kind of like pointing to a spot on a map. You’ll move through the feelings that come up as your brain begins to heal itself, and your therapist will help you feel safe and regulate your emotions the whole way through. You’ll be able to slow down or stop this process at any time if you need.

3. Get the Relief You’ve Been Looking For

   People who’ve been through Brainspotting therapy have described it as fast-acting and efficient, with many finding relief from the symptoms they were experiencing in as few as six sessions.
   

   After treatment, it will feel like the painful memories that weighed on you are distant and truly in the past. You’ll feel more balanced in your emotional state, and have less shame or guilt about what happened—as well as more understanding about the memories you worked through and how they’ve affected you. There will be a sense of groundedness in the present moment, and you’ll have tools to cope with any stress or anxiety that comes up. When you think about the future, you’ll be confident in your ability to navigate whatever may come.

It’s time to finally move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brainspotting therapy?

Brainspotting therapy is a method that helps process painful experiences and emotions stored in the brain. The therapist helps guide the client to find an eye position that is connected to the painful emotion or experience, allowing the brain to process it. Many find it effective because it taps into your brain's ability to heal itself.

Does Brainspotting work?

People's experiences with Brainspotting vary, but many have found it helpful in dealing with trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. It's a unique therapy that doesn't rely much on talking, focusing more on eye positions and the sensations and emotions that come up.

How is Brainspotting different from EMDR?

While both Brainspotting and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) focus on processing trauma, they differ in technique. EMDR involves eye movements, taps, or sounds to stimulate processing, while Brainspotting is more about fixing your gaze on specific points to access and process emotions and memories. Both can be effective; it often depends on what you and your therapist decide is the best fit for you.

Can Brainspotting be done online?

Yes, Brainspotting can be done online. While originally conducted in person, technology has made it possible to have effective Brainspotting sessions through video calls or online platforms. Through a secure and confidential connection, our therapists can guide you through this approach, helping you process emotions and traumatic experiences just as effectively as in-person sessions. The key is finding a comfortable, private space where you feel at ease to explore your thoughts and feelings during the online Brainspotting sessions.
