Brainspotting
Healing Beyond Words
A New Path to Healing—Beyond Words
At Free To Be Therapy, we understand that some experiences are too deep for words alone. Brainspotting is a powerful, science-based therapy that helps you process and release the emotional pain and trauma stored deep within your brain and body.
Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting works on the principle that where you look affects how you feel. By identifying specific eye positions connected to your emotional experiences, your therapist helps your brain naturally heal and restore balance.
Many clients describe Brainspotting as a calm, focused journey inward — one that allows you to access the parts of yourself that have been stuck, guarded, or overwhelmed, and finally begin to heal.
How Brainspotting Works
During a Brainspotting session, your therapist helps you find an eye position — or “brainspot” — that connects to an area of emotional or physical distress. While you focus gently on that spot, your brain begins to process unresolved memories, sensations, and emotions in a way that feels safe and supported.
You don’t have to rehash painful stories or force insight. Your brain and body already know how to heal — Brainspotting simply helps unlock that natural process.
