This Might Be The Right Therapy Group For You
You’re warmly invited to Group Brainspotting.
This online therapy group offers a supportive space to deepen self-love, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward more secure attachment using a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach.
The primary modality used is Brainspotting, a brain- and body-based therapy that supports emotional processing and integration at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your nervous system. Sessions are structured and gentle, with an emphasis on pacing, choice, and safety. Sharing is always optional.

What Makes This Group Different:
Group Brainspotting is an interactive online psychotherapy group grounded in nervous-system-informed care, relational presence, and embodied awareness. The group supports integration and embodiment through structured, relational work rather than passive content.
The group provides a steady weekly space for therapeutic self-care — a place to slow down, breathe together, and reconnect with yourself in the presence of others who are also prioritizing care, growth, and connection.
As adaptability increases, people often notice:
Greater emotional agility (feeling without being overwhelmed)
Improved ability to pause and choose responses
A wider “window of tolerance” for stress and intimacy
This weekly Brainspotting Group is a gentle, supportive space designed to help you tap into your brain's natural capacity to reorganize and soften it's patterns. Together we can cultivate secure attachment, self-trust, emotional resilience in a way that feels nurturing and empowering.
“This isn’t about never getting triggered — it’s about recovering more quickly and with more awareness.”
“Brainspotting supports nervous system awareness and flexibility, which over time can help people expand their capacity to handle stress without going into survival mode.”

What Is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting helps the nervous system move out of chronic stress patterns. It works by identifying eye positions linked to areas of the brain that hold emotional and neurophysiological based performance blocks and negative self-beliefs. Brainspotting supports the identification, processing, and releasing of this material.
The eyes are an extension of our brain. When a fetus is developing in the womb, the eyes literally emerge from the brain and hold thousands of neurotransmitters. So, when we utilize approaches that involve the eyes, we are able to have direct access to the brain.
Brainspotting works by accessing the subcortical brain, which is something that many modalities cannot access.
When we’re under chronic stress, the parts of the brain responsible for clarity, regulation, and choice don’t communicate as effectively. Brainspotting helps the brain and nervous system become aware of where it’s holding tension and protection. Rather than forcing the body to change, it supports the system’s natural capacity to reorganize and soften those patterns. As that happens, many people feel more present in their body, more emotionally regulated, and more adaptable in their relationships and daily life.
As the nervous system learns that it doesn’t need to stay on high alert, many people notice:
A sense of unwinding or “un-clenching” in the body
Improved emotional regulation and resilience
Greater ability to respond instead of shutting down or overreacting
More presence, self-awareness, and adaptability
A wider capacity to handle stress and change
Over time, this process can support the nervous system in developing new, more flexible patterns—allowing you to feel safer in your body, more connected to yourself, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life’s challenges.
