Welcome to the Through It All Blog Page!
Have you ever had the sense that something inside you hasn’t fully let go—even if you can’t quite explain why? Maybe talk therapy helped you make sense of your story, but you still feel stuck, tense, or emotionally disconnected in ways that words can’t quite reach. That’s not a failure on your part; it’s your body asking to be part of the healing process.
Taking that first step into a new therapy can feel like a big leap, especially when you're unsure of what to expect. You might be drawn to Brainspotting Therapy because talk therapy hasn’t quite reached the parts of your story that still feel tender or unresolved. Maybe you’ve heard that Brainspotting Therapy is a gentler, body-based method, but you’re still wondering what a session actually looks like. This blog will walk you through the experience, so you can feel a bit more grounded before stepping into the room.
You might feel like you’re doing everything right: going to therapy, taking care of responsibilities, pushing through the day. But inside, there’s still a heaviness. Maybe anxiety buzzes just beneath the surface, making your body feel constantly on edge. Or perhaps sadness drapes over you like a fog you can’t shake, dulling your connection to daily life. You might freeze up or shut down in moments you can’t explain, despite doing all the right things. Brainspotting Therapy offers a way to gently support your nervous system in processing what talk therapy alone may not reach.
You’ve made the decision to try something new. Maybe you’ve been in talk therapy before and gained insight, but you still feel like something’s lingering—something your mind can’t quite untangle. It’s natural to wonder: how long will it take for Brainspotting to work and help you feel better? That’s a question I hear often, and while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, there are patterns, guideposts, and reassuring truths that can help you understand what to expect.
You’ve probably heard of EMDR. You may have also come across Brainspotting. Both are powerful, body-based therapies for healing trauma, anxiety, and the lingering effects of overwhelming experiences. But if you’re standing at the crossroads, wondering which path is right for you, it can feel a little overwhelming. You want something that works. That honors what you’ve been through. Something that actually helps you feel different, and calmer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more at ease in your life.
If you’ve ever felt like talk therapy only scratches the surface, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve tried putting your pain into words, but something still feels stuck. It's almost like your body is holding on to more than your mind can explain. That’s where somatic therapy comes in. It’s not about digging harder or talking more. It’s about listening differently—to your body, your nervous system, and the deeper parts of you that are still healing.
