About Brainspotting Coaching

Journey to Self-discovery: Through Brainspotting

No matter how hard you try, you can’t break through the wall or get over it.

Brainspotting is the chisel to that seemingly impenetrable wall.

Brainspotting, the concept is profound yet simple – your eyes and brain share a deep connection, and by finding specific “spots” in your visual field, you can access and process unresolved emotional pains stored in the deep brain.

As we progress, you’ll begin to feel shifts, often in profound ways. Whether it’s newfound clarity, a sense of release, or a rejuvenated spirit, the promise of change is real.

I’ve seen it time and again. And together, we’ll make sure you see it, too.

Success through Neuro-Transformational Coaching

“Why does my brain always sabotage my success? Why can’t I just get past this?” 

Neuro-Transformational coaching is your ticket to rewriting your story.

Our brains are like clay – they can reshape and adapt. Neurons fire together and wire together.

Think of Neuro-Transformational Coaching as giving your brain a “gym” session, where we exercise, stretch, and challenge it in ways that foster growth.

Through a series of dedicated sessions, our old detrimental neural pathways can be replaced with empowering, positive ones, regardless of age.

And over time, you will experience shifts – moments of clarity, surges of confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Tools and Techniques: Not Just Talk

“So, what are we doing exactly in these sessions? Do we just talk about my past?”

Absolutely not.

Beyond words, we will employ a range of neuroscience-based tools, blending visualization, somatic sensations, focused mindfulness exercises, etc., to carve a path to revival and expansion.

Slowly, with each revelation and release, the weight will be lifted.

You will rediscover that spark, that zest for life you thought was lost.

Hi, I’m Yiping!

My journey to becoming a Brainspotting Coach …

It started early, I suppose. Growing up in China, I always had close relationships with friends. They came to me with their problems, and I always responded with empathy and concern. That’s probably why I was often elected to leadership positions for student councils.

Here’s how my three-decade professional path paved the way for our work together…

As a preschool teacher…

I loved to watch children play: Their free spirits, curiosity, and imagination inspired me. Their hearty laughing can’t help but flow through my heart!

Working with children, I learned that family is most important for healthy development.

I also learned that there’s a critical window of opportunity for an intervention of early warning signs of challenging issues.

The earlier we can start working on issues, the better outcomes you will have!

As a college professor …

I taught at the university, which served primarily an African-American adult population.

I witnessed the inner power of emancipation and determination to break the generational trauma of oppression and suppression.

I also learned that we all carry trauma, but we also carry virtues and resilience that have been passed down to us… and that we’ll pass on to the next generations.

I am inspired to help resolve past hurts, as well as bring out the best of your heritages and virtues, promoting a better life for you AND those around you.

As a researcher and supporter of the children of mothers affected by mental illness and addiction …

For many years at the mental health clinics, I listened to the stories of mothers who had suffered from sexual abuse, domestic violence, and human trafficking.

Yet their love for their children never stopped. Such instinctive love motivated them to turn their lifeboat around to break the vicious cycle of misery for their children.

I felt their pain through their sobbing voices, and I felt their compassion for their children.

I witnessed how important it is to have stable, orderly, predictable, safe, and loving family settings for our precious children!

At the same time, as an immigrant career woman…

I’ve always appeared “successful” on the outside… But inside, I struggled silently for a long time.

I felt insecure, worrying about what other people thought of me.

I was riddled with self-doubt, constantly second-guessing my decisions so I wouldn’t embarrass myself.

I felt “less than” – like I did not try hard enough or was never good enough.

I was so tired of being hard on myself, so exhausted.

I searched, searched, searched for how to feel better.

Out of curiosity, I took an online Brainspotting training. That’s where my journey of personal healing started.

Brainspotting helped me understand where my negative thoughts came from. It turns out that I had severe attachment issues and other traumatic experiences in my childhood.

The constant insecurity and being on guard became my body’s prevailing pattern of emotion—a self-protection mechanism lodged into my nervous system, lasting into adulthood.

Brainspotting then gave me the tools to rebuild my self-worth and wholeness. It restored my sense of self. I started blossoming with beams of smiles, like a lotus flower.

Now, I can pass on this wisdom to help you become the best version of yourself YOU can be!

When I’m not at work…

I love being in nature, including camping, soothed by a creek’s chilly water flowing through my toes, or quietly inspired by watching the sunset without thought or motion.

I’m also a gardener. There’s just something that nurtures the spirit: sowing the seeds, seeing them sprout, enjoying their blossoms, and watching them weather off with ease and grace, next year, starting again… A UNIVERSAL law of life cycles.

My two favorite flowers: I love my orchid flowers for love and compassion. I love my lotus flowers for purity and beauty.

I also enjoy cooking. I sometimes mess up recipes but get pleasantly surprising tastes.

Swimming, yoga, walking, meditation, and reading are part of my leisure time.

I often journal, listening to my inner voices, struggles, and intuitions. I benefit greatly from letting my thoughts and emotions flow without boundaries and judgment.

I love traveling across the states, countries, and continents. Watching and talking to people who are different from me is fascinating. It enriches my perspectives and broadens my horizon.

But most often, you’ll find me in a local coffee shop with my husband or a couple of close friends, chatting to our hearts’ delight.
