Brainspotting for Anxiety & Fear

Anxiety and fear show up in many ways - and often in ways that don't fully respond to logic, insight, or "talking it through." Brainspotting is a gentle, brain-based therapy that helps resolve fear where it lives: in the nervous system.

You may benefit from Brainspotting if anxiety or fear is limiting your sense of freedom, safety, or confidence.

Brainspotting may be helpful If you experience

Fear of flying
Fear of heights
Fear of driving
Fear of medical or dental procedures
Fear of confined spaces
Fear of public places or situations

These fears are often disproportionate to actual danger and can feel automatic or uncontrollable. Brainspotting works directly with the brain-body connection that maintains these fears responses.

What makes brainspotting different?

Brainspotting might be especially helpful if you:

Understand your anxiety intellectually but still feel it physically
Have tried talk therapy, coping skills, or exposure with limited relief
Feel stuck despite knowing your fear "doesn't make sense"

Brainspotting does not require:

Insight in order for change to occur
Reliving traumatic experiences in detail
Forcing exposure before you feel ready
Pushing through fear with willpower
