Psychosomatic Therapy (Brainspotting or Bodyspotting)

“Where you look affects how you feel.” — Dr David Grand

Brainspotting is one of the most powerful psychosomatic therapies available today — a deeply focused method that helps you access, process, and release trauma stored in the body. 

Unlike talk-only therapies, Brainspotting locates the neurobiological roots of emotional pain and gently unwinds the patterns held beneath conscious awareness.

As Dr David Grand teaches, “Brainspotting is a physiological therapy with psychological consequences.”

And that is exactly what makes it so transformative for people who have tried to “think their way out” of their pain but still feel stuck in old emotional loops.

Mark Grixti, Head of BSP UK and one of the pioneers of trauma integration work, describes it perfectly:

“The body knows how to heal, if only we give it the chance and the space to do what it has always known.”

Brainspotting gives the body that chance.

Why Psychosomatic Trauma Therapy Works

Your subconscious mind is brilliant. When life becomes overwhelming - emotionally, physically, or energetically - it protects you by storing unprocessed material in the body until a safer moment arrives.

Those stored imprints can later show up as:

• Anxiety, overwhelm or shutdown
• Rage, irritability, or panic
• Self-sabotage and procrastination
• Performance anxiety
• Low self worth
• Dissociation
• Chronic pain or fatigue
• Addictive patterns
• Feeling “stuck” no matter how hard you try

Trauma is not defined by what happened, but by what stayed trapped inside you.

Brainspotting helps locate the brain-body holding points of these experiences through the visual field and the nervous system. It is a direct path into the places talking cannot reach.

What Brainspotting Can Support

General Trauma

Accidents, surgery, illness, abuse, grief, devastation, racial or transphobic discrimination, life-changing diagnoses.

Childhood Trauma

Loss of a parent, abuse, emotional unpredictability, bullying, exposure to violence.

Developmental / Complex Trauma

Emotional neglect, instability, parents with mental illness, long-term dysregulation, foster care or adoption experiences.

Pregnancy, Birth & Infancy

Birth complications, maternal illness or accidents, stillbirth, postnatal depression, syntonic birth trauma.

Multigenerational Trauma

Epigenetic patterns passed through parents and ancestors.

Psychosomatic Therapy uses the body-mind-body communication loops to access the deep subcortical brain where trauma is stored.

Through the visual field - using the optic nerve as an access point - we locate a brainspot: a gaze point linked to an emotional or physiological imprint.

As Dr David Grand says,

“A Brainspot is an eye position that correlates to a physiological capsule of memory or emotion.”

Using attunement, relational presence and sometimes Biolateral sound, the body gently releases what has been held for years - or even decades.

“Brainspotting helps you meet the places you had to leave behind.” - Mark Grixti

This is inner reclamation.

This is nervous system restoration.

This is trauma integration from the inside out.

A 1-hour session typically includes; Resourcing + grounding, locating the brainspot, deep body-led processing, talk therapy integration, gentle closure and nervous system grounding.
