"The Spot and the Story"

In this first episode of Beyond the Spot, Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, MDiv, LPC, lays the foundation for the journey ahead—unpacking what Brainspotting really is and why it matters.

Forget the myths. This isn’t hypnosis, and it’s not just another trauma trend. It’s a body-based, neuroscience-backed, culturally attuned modality that helps your system finish what trauma interrupted.

Tracy shares how Brainspotting creates space for silence, resonance, and truth—especially for those who have been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or told to “just talk about it.”

This is the episode that sets the tone: honest, grounded, and revolutionary. Because the healing doesn’t start with retelling. It starts with being seen.
