Brainspotting Therapy Near Rockford, MI
Some reactions show up in familiar Rockford spots. Maybe your body tenses on the drive between Wolverine Boulevard and Northland Drive, or you feel a rush of nerves by the Rogue River. We use those real moments as reference points so change carries into daily life.
I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner with more than 15 years in the Grand Rapids area. Sessions are steady and collaborative. We decide the pace together, keep a clear pause signal, and close with simple practices you can use after a White Pine Trail walk or before the drive home.
How Brainspotting Can Help
Reduce body jolts that hit during transitions like walking into a store or merging into traffic.
Soften reactions that pop up downtown by the river when crowds or noise rise.
Rebuild a simple wind down so sleep and mornings settle faster.
Turn gains into short checkpoints during the week, such as before a commute or after a school event.
My Approach
We start with a brief check in and choose one target that shows up in your week, such as tension before turning onto Northland Drive or a jolt in a crowded store. I help you find a visual focus linked to that reaction, and we confirm a clear pause signal.
You notice what your body does while I watch the pace and keep it tolerable. You can speak a little or stay quiet. We close with a simple grounding you can use right away, like a two minute reset before driving or a quick eyes open settle after errands.
