This blog post explains the brain-eye connection, the role of the central nervous system in trauma, and how Brainspotting therapy supports deep healing for over-functioning, people-pleasing women. It empowers readers to explore this transformative approach to trauma recovery.

Today’s climate can be described as one marked by social fragmentation and heightened self-preservation, where division often overshadows unity. A pervasive sense of mistrust—of institutions, communities, and even personal relationships—fosters an environment where many feel the need to prioritize their own interests and safety above collective well-being. This dynamic makes it difficult for many to feel secure or grounded, often exacerbating anxiety and eroding trust in both personal relationships and broader social systems.

This blog post provides an accessible explanation of dissociation, its impact, and actionable steps for reconnecting with emotions, specifically tailored to over-functioning, people-pleasing women who have learned to disconnect from their own needs and feelings in the wake of trauma.
