Brainspotting & EMDR
Two powerful tools for processing trauma and memories that have stayed stuck.
Brainspotting
If you are feeling “stuck” or worried — maybe an experience has impacted how you think, feel, trust, or form relationships — Brainspotting may be useful for you.
Brainspotting is a technique used to access trauma stored in the subcortical brain, through the visual field. It can be used in an individual session, or with couples. This technique is powerful, interesting, and deeply healing. Sophia is very excited to bring this technique to whatever therapeutic journey you are on.

EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful tool to help process and heal from various life traumas or distressing life events. Through the supportive guidance of Anita, EMDR is used in conjunction with psychotherapy to access various parts of the brain and support healing.

Common questions
What is the difference between Brainspotting and EMDR?
Both help process trauma held in the body and brain. Brainspotting works through the visual field to access the subcortical brain; EMDR uses guided eye movements alongside psychotherapy. Your therapist will talk through which is the better fit for you.
Do I have to describe what happened in detail?
Not necessarily. Both approaches work with how an experience is held rather than requiring a full retelling, and you set the pace throughout.
