Beyond Talk Therapy: Brainspotting and the Brain-Body Connection

Noula dives into the world of Brainspotting, a trauma therapy that skips story retelling and focuses on therapist-client attunement and somatic markers in the body. It's a "bottom-up" approach, recognising trauma's presence in the body and the body's innate healing wisdom. Noula emphasises client empowerment and the modality's versatility, especially in her creative practice. We discuss its efficacy compared to other modalities and what "evidence-based" really means. Inside the Therapy Room, it's about creating a safe space for healing. Finally, Noula dispels a few myths about Brainspotting, ending our chat with a dose of reality.
