EP 287: Brainspotting with Carolyn

A self-described “closet nondrinker,” Carolyn is a licensed professional counselor who specializes in working with people-pleasing perfectionists who struggle with anxiety. She uses brainspotting, a technique that leverages the close connection between our brains and our vision to bring relief from symptoms of anxiety, shame, overwhelm, trauma, and many other ways we, as humans, can feel emotionally and physically stuck. On today’s episode, Carolyn opens up about how she tried to keep her decision not to drink off the radar screens of the people she drank to fit in with, and how This Naked Mind and brainspotting have helped her create lasting change.
