SOMATIC EXPERIENCING & BRAINSPOTTING

Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting are powerful techniques used in Carie’s Therapy Sessions and Workshops to support deep healing, soul retrieval, and the integration of your Human Design and Gene Keys readings. Both techniques support subconscious processing of developmental, relational, and shock trauma, physical injuries, accidents, and surgeries.

Somatic Experiencing, also known as Somatic Therapy, blends neuroscience, felt experience, mindfulness, meditation, and indigenous practices to heal the nervous system. This work is grounded in Polyvagal Theory, which focuses on the vagus nerve and its regulation, and on how impairments stem from trauma. Regulating (or resourcing) the nervous system through Somatic Experiencing supports healing of the immune and nervous systems. The body reflects the unconscious, always calling you back home.

Grounded in the principle that “where you look affects how you feel,” Brainspotting supports the processing of deep implicit trauma, emotions, and physical pain by linking eye positions to stored neural distress (“brainspots”). The conscious mind is bypassed, brain regions that support regulation become engaged, and the body’s natural healing ability is activated, allowing trauma to be processed to completion. Brainspotting initiates a profound healing journey that cannot be accessed through the conscious mind. 

With trauma, aspects of oneself become split off. Carie blends these dynamic modalities with her intuitive and spiritual work to support soul retrieval and integration of parts. You do not have to carry your trauma with you forever. Transform your suffering and begin to recognize it as the great teacher, a call to attention, a call to return home.
