Sacred Space offers virtual and in-person brainspotting therapy to help holistically heal deep-seated trauma and the physical, emotional, and spiritual dysregulation that comes with it. By accessing specific points within your field of vision, we support your vessel in reprocessing and integrating previously painful experiences to create a sense of embodied peace, regulation, and internal harmony.
What is brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy created by Dick Schwartz that connects with specific points within your field of vision and corresponding natural eye positions to access and gently release deeply held energetic, emotional, mental, and physical imprints of trauma stored within your vessel. It's particularly useful for healing the multidimensional roots of specific traumatic or stressful experiences in one's life.

Where we begin
CENTERING + DISCOVERING YOUR "SPOT"
We start with an initial conversation to understand what you're hoping to heal and if Brainspotting is the right fit for you. Then, in our first sessions, we'll focus on helping you feel safe and grounded, and gently guide you to find a specific eye position, or "brainspot," where you naturally look when thinking about the issue you want to address.
LISTENING AND HEALING
LISTENING TO YOUR BODY'S WISDOM
As this processing unfolds, you'll be invited to simply notice any sensations, subtle shifts, or insights that arise within your body. This compassionate observation helps your system release what it's been holding, whether it's a physical release or a new understanding.

FOCUSED RELEASE THROUGH YOUR GAZE
Once your brainspot is identified, you'll hold your gaze there while gently focusing on the identified challenge. This focused eye position allows your brain to naturally process and release the stored tension, emotions, or trauma associated with that issue, giving your brain a direct path to do its own deep healing work.

INTEGRATING CHANGES AND MOVING FORWARD
In the final stages, we'll help you integrate the shifts and insights you've gained from the Brainspotting sessions into your daily life. This involves reflecting on lessons learned and reinforcing new skills, so you can continue to feel less burdened, more at peace, and solidify the positive impact of the therapy long-term.
THE BENEFITS OF BRAINSPOTTING
Release deeply held stress & trauma
Brainspotting is remarkably effective at helping your brain and body process and release stress, emotional pain, or traumatic memories that are held deep within your energetic system. It accesses core imprints, often bringing profound relief without needing extensive verbal re-telling.
Heals stored patterns when words fall short
Sometimes, the most profound experiences are held beyond conscious memory or verbal expression. Brainspotting offers a direct pathway to move past these mental or energetic blocks, allowing your system's natural healing intelligence to activate, leading to breakthroughs where you once felt profoundly stuck.
Faster and more focused healing
Because Brainspotting directly taps into the neurological and energetic roots of distress, many find it brings about significant internal shifts and positive changes with remarkable efficiency. It's a highly focused approach that empowers your own system to heal swiftly, guiding you to a quicker path to inner peace.
