Trauma Therapist in San Jose

Sometimes, trauma leaves behind emotional wounds that feel impossible to heal. You might not even fully understand where the pain is coming from, but it lingers, surfacing when you least expect it—through emotional triggers, stress, or physical symptoms like tension, headaches, or fatigue. This is because trauma doesn’t just live in your mind; it’s stored in your body. Just like muscle memory helps you remember how to ride a bike, your body holds onto the painful experiences you’ve been through. This is what makes healing from deep trauma so difficult—it’s woven into your body’s emotional responses.

Brainspotting therapy is designed to target these deeper layers of trauma. By focusing on specific eye positions (or "brainspots"), we can access the areas in your brain where the trauma is stored. This allows your brain and body to process the unresolved emotional pain, without the need to rehash every detail verbally. Brainspotting goes beyond surface-level coping mechanisms—it offers real, lasting healing by addressing the core of your emotional pain. There is hope for relief, and with the right support, you can finally start to heal from the wounds that have weighed you down for too long.
