Unlock Your Success: How Brainspotting Therapy Frees You From Self-Sabotage

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not getting the results you want? Or maybe you have a goal, a dream, or even just a next step in mind, but for some reason, you can’t seem to move forward? You’re not alone—and there’s a reason for it.

In my recent interview on the podcast Align & Elevate: Love Who U R, hosted by Melaine King, I had the opportunity to dive deep into why these mental and emotional blocks happen and how Brainspotting Therapy can help you move past them quickly and effectively.

What is Brainspotting Therapy?

Brainspotting Therapy is a powerful somatic technique designed to help people process trauma, emotional roadblocks, and subconscious fears that keep them stuck. It works by using eye positions to access and release unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs stored in the brain and body. If you’ve ever felt an emotional reaction that didn’t quite make sense—like procrastination, self-doubt, or an unexplained fear of visibility—chances are, your brain is holding onto something you haven’t yet processed.

How Does Brainspotting Therapy Work?

During the interview, I explained how the brain and body work together to store experiences. When something overwhelming happens, our brain sometimes doesn’t fully process it in the moment, so it gets “stuck” in our limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for emotions, survival responses, and memory. These stuck experiences can create invisible barriers that affect our confidence, clarity, and ability to take action.

Brainspotting Therapy helps identify where these unprocessed experiences are stored by finding the exact eye position that connects to the emotional charge. From there, the brain is given the space and safety to process and release the stored experience, allowing you to move forward without the weight of past emotional baggage.

Brainspotting Therapy vs. EMDR

Many people are familiar with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), another effective trauma therapy. While both Brainspotting Therapy and EMDR help process unresolved emotions, there are key differences:

• EMDR uses rapid eye movements and is more structured.

• Brainspotting Therapy focuses on a specific eye position that activates deep processing in the brain, allowing for a more organic and client-led experience.

• Brainspotting Therapy is often reported to work faster and at a deeper level, especially for those who feel stuck despite trying other mindset or therapeutic approaches.

Why Brainspotting Therapy is a Game-Changer for Entrepreneurs and High Achievers

In the interview, I highlighted how Brainspotting Therapy isn’t just for trauma survivors—it’s a tool for anyone who feels blocked from reaching their full potential. Many of my clients are entrepreneurs who intellectually know what to do but struggle with taking action. Whether it’s imposter syndrome, fear of being seen, perfectionism, or self-sabotage, Brainspotting Therapy can uncover and resolve the subconscious fears holding them back.

The Biggest Takeaway

One of the most important things I emphasized in the interview was this: You are not broken. Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you lack discipline, willpower, or talent. It simply means your brain is trying to keep you safe based on past experiences. Brainspotting Therapy helps rewire those old patterns, giving you the freedom to step into your full potential without the subconscious resistance.
