Brainspotting

What To Expect

Brainspotting therapy at Pasadena Trauma Therapy offers a unique and intensive approach to healing trauma and emotional distress. During sessions, you will work closely with a therapist to identify and focus on physical sensations or emotions linked to trauma.

This is done by locating a ‘Brainspot,’ an eye position that connects to the emotional activation in your brain. With the help of bilateral sound and gentle guidance, you’ll explore these feelings, leading to processing and relief from psychological and physical issues.
