In part one, we discussed what the approach of brainspotting is and how it impacts trauma in the brain. Today, in part two, we’re diving into the life changing effects this approach has on clients, and the role of mental health professionals in guiding clients through the journey of brainspotting.
Q: "What kind of lasting changes do clients experience with Brainspotting?"
A: Although everyone’s experience is different, clients often describe a profound sense of relief and clarity after Brainspotting sessions. It's like lifting a weight off their shoulders or clearing a fog that's been clouding their vision. They find new perspectives on old problems, experience reduced anxiety, and often report a deeper connection with themselves.
Q. “What can you expect immediately after a Brainspotting session?”
A: You’ve just unpacked years of emotional baggage in a Brainspotting session. Immediately afterward, it's common to feel both exhaustion and exhilaration, you’ve just finished taking a deep dive into your own psyche. You might feel mentally tired, as if your brain has been doing heavy lifting, but there’s also a refreshing sense of emotional liberation. The world might seem brighter or more vivid, as if you're seeing it with new eyes. It's important to give yourself space and time to process these feelings and experiences.
Q: "How can you, as a therapist, facilitate healing through Brainspotting?"
A: As a therapist, I act as a compassionate guide, helping clients navigate the depths of their emotions. Using Brainspotting, I can help them tune into their body's wisdom, encouraging a journey of self- discovery and healing. It's about creating a safe space for them to explore, process, and ultimately find peace with their inner experiences.
