Brainspotting is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process trauma, reduce anxiety, and overcome emotional blocks. At Daybreak Counseling in Des Moines, our trained clinicians use Brainspotting to support clients of all ages in finding relief from unresolved stress, trauma, and emotional challenges. By accessing the brain-body connection, Brainspotting helps you move past barriers and achieve lasting mental wellness.
Brainspotting works by identifying “brainspots” — specific eye positions that are linked to unresolved emotional experiences. Once located, your therapist guides you in processing these emotions safely, helping you release stress, trauma, and negative patterns. This method is particularly effective for individuals who have struggled with traditional talk therapy or want a deeper, body-centered approach to healing.
Brainspotting can help clients experiencing:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic
Grief or loss
Relationship challenges
Self-esteem or confidence issues
Our Des Moines-based therapists tailor each Brainspotting session to your unique needs, ensuring that you feel safe, supported, and guided every step of the way.
