Body Mind and Soul Connections
Feeling stuck in your entrepreneurial journey? You’re not alone. Even seasoned founders hit roadblocks—sometimes it’s imposter syndrome, other times it’s a persistent fear of failure that keeps you from launching that next product, hosting that webinar, or pitching that idea. In my recent interview on Body Mind and Soul Connections with Lorna Gale, I dove into how Brainspotting—a powerful somatic therapy program—helped me clear emotional landmines that traditional mindset work couldn’t reach. Below, you’ll discover what Brainspotting is, why it’s a game-changer for entrepreneurs, and how aligning your founder mindset and success mindset can finally feel within reach.
What Is Brainspotting and Why It Matters for Entrepreneurs
Brainspotting is a somatic therapy program that locates and releases core sources of emotional pain or blocks by tracking where you look in your field of vision, synchronizing that eye position with subtle body sensations. Think of it as a map: when you tune into that exact “spot” where an old fear or self-doubt resides—whether it feels like a tightness in your throat, a knot in your stomach, or that frozen “blank-screen” dread—your nervous system can finally process it in real time.
As a certified Brainspotting Practitioner and business life coach, I’ve seen how unresolved trauma or limiting beliefs lie just beneath the surface of what we label as “imposter syndrome,” “fear of being seen,” or “money mindset” obstacles. Traditional coaching or affirmation work can skirt around these issues, but Brainspotting dives straight into the neurophysiological source, so you don’t just learn new techniques, you erase the old programming that’s holding you back.
How Brainspotting Cleared My Founder Mindset Blocks
In the Body Mind and Soul Connections interview, I shared a personal story that many entrepreneurs will recognize: no matter how many courses I took or mindset books I read, I still froze at the idea of hosting my first live webinar. I knew the content could help hundreds of women building their brands, yet every time I tried to set up the camera, my brain would short-circuit.
During a Brainspotting session, I discovered that this freeze response was tied to a long-buried belief that “I’m not enough.” By finding the precise eye position where that belief surfaced, my nervous system could release it without me having to relive a traumatic story. Within one 90-minute session, my inner critic quieted enough that I felt a genuine surge of “I can do this,” and I went on to host what became a sold-out workshop just weeks later.
Because Brainspotting addresses what many people describe as “mental blocks,” it pairs seamlessly with practical coaching: once you’re free from that paralyzing fear, you can craft a clear visibility plan, map out your “small business branding,” and finally take consistent action on your “money mindset coaching” goals. It’s like removing the landmines so you can confidently walk through the battlefield and claim your territory.
Why Somatic Therapy Programs Like Brainspotting Are Unique
Rapid Results: Many clients notice a tangible shift after just one or two sessions. If you’re wondering, “What are mental blocks really made of?” Brainspotting shows you the exact neurophysiological spot and lets your body process it immediately, without force-feeding you endless affirmations or scripts.
No Rehashing Backstories: Unlike traditional talk therapy, you don’t have to dissect every painful memory. Brainspotting lets your brain and body do the heavy lifting beneath the surface, so you’re not re-traumatizing yourself by repeating old stories.
Deep Founder Mindset Transformation: Whether you’re battling “fear of being seen” before a podcast appearance, or you can’t set a higher price because of ingrained “I’m not worth it” tapes, Brainspotting can pinpoint and clear those layers. Once the freeze response is gone, you move from a scarcity-driven mindset to an abundance mindset—an essential shift for growth-minded entrepreneurs.
Ideal for Abundance Mindset & Success Mindset: The technique rewires how you respond when opportunities arise. Instead of defaulting to hesitation or second-guessing, you tap into a more confident internal narrative that says, “I’m capable, I’m worth it, I can lead with authority.”
How to Integrate Brainspotting Into Your Business Life Coaching Journey
Identify Your Core Block
Ask yourself:Do I freeze when I think about recording a video, pitching investors, or speaking on a panel?
Where do I feel tension in my body when I imagine charging my true worth?
What thought or story pops up when someone compliments my expertise?
These clues guide your Brainspotting session to the right “spot” where that emotion is lodged.
Schedule a Brainspotting Session
As a “business life coach” who integrates Brainspotting, I offer targeted packages simply under the umbrella of Unblocked Sessions™—you can choose 1 to 3 sessions to start (Or you can check out my package Brainspotting and Coaching deals). Each session is 90 minutes via telehealth, tailored to remove one core freeze at a time. If you’re serious about breaking out of “I should wait until I feel more ready,” this focused work is exactly what you need.Pair It With Visibility Coaching
Once you release the neurophysiological hold of that fear, we’ll immediately map out actionable next steps:Craft a signature talk that feels authentic (goodbye, “small business branding” confusion)
Set micro-goals to record that first 2-minute video, then a 5-minute live session, and so on
Build a pricing strategy anchored in true value, not fear (this is the essence of money mindset coaching).
Continue Practicing Somatic Awareness
After each Brainspotting session, you’ll receive “homework” to notice any residual sensations or thoughts. This helps integrate the shift into your daily routine, whether you’re journaling about what’s changed or doing a quick body scan before you turn on your camera.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Mental blocks are subconscious barriers—often born from past experiences—that trigger a freeze, flight, or fight response. Brainspotting locates the exact visual “spot” associated with that block and uses gentle somatic cues to let your nervous system process it, so you don’t have to relive the story every time.
-
While many somatic therapies rely on discussion or large-scale body movements, Brainspotting zeroes in on a pinpointed eye position linked to your emotional pain. This precision lets you release the block with minimal talk and maximum speed.
-
Yes. Most clients experience a noticeable drop in anxiety or self-doubt within one 90-minute session. That’s why Brainspotting is often called “the fast track to a success mindset.” It bypasses the brain’s defensive loops, allowing real transformation in a fraction of the time.
-
Absolutely. Imposter syndrome often presents as a deep-seated fear that you’ll be “found out” or “not good enough.” Brainspotting pinpoints that fear in your nervous system—no amount of affirmations can do what this technique does physiologically.
