The primary goal is to help process the emotions, beliefs, and memories associated with trauma and release the injury stored in the brain and body.​

 

Trauma impacts the brain and body much like a physical injury. If left unhealed, it continues to cause pain, signaling the need for attention and healing. Left unhealed, trauma can significantly disrupt various aspects of life, including financial, psychological, physical, relational, occupational, and social well-being—even long after the traumatic event.​

 

Trauma-focused therapy helps individuals understand how trauma affects their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Brainspotting is a trauma-focused technique that emphasizes relief from trauma's effects without needing to revisit or retell the traumatic experience itself.
