Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.

“Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and extinguishing it by down-regulating the amygdala. It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) activation that is facilitated, it is homeostasis.”
— Robert Scaer, MD, “The Trauma Spectrum

IFS Parts Work

Parts work addresses conflicts in agendas between your internal parts that are creating gridlock in your emotional healing.

We all have parts—parts are not the problem—the extreme roles those parts have taken on because of trauma are the problem.

The Internal Family System (IFS) protocol helps unburden or restore extreme and wounded parts to establish a trusted, healthy, harmonious internal system coordinated by the Self.

Thera-Coaching

Trauma-informed, depth-psychology oriented coaching can be considered “thera-coaching” because it blends the best of both worlds. The underlying question in trauma-informed care is not “What’s wrong with you?” (which is the medical, pathology-focused model) but “What happened to you?” (SAMSHA)

In trauma-informed, depth-oriented coaching, we recognize that symptoms are adaptations to traumatic events and healing happens in safe relationships where corrective co-regulation can occur. A depth approach means we value your unconscious as a valid source of healing information.
