Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.

This is a 3-day, inclusive, intermediate, specialty training consisting of didactical lecture, demonstrations, practicums, activities around grounding/resourcing and community building with intentionality for Brainspotting practitioners who have completed Phase 1 OR Phase 2 training in-person or live/online training.  The training is inclusive to mean all persons in the Brainspotting community are welcomed. This is not a BIPOC event!

Brainspotting: Intersectionality & Social Justice was intentionally developed to speak to the “what” and “how” to hold space, attune, and be present with all people maximizing the healing experience as a tool to disallow oppression while acknowledging privilege and dismantling dominance ensuring all persons have access to care. “We don’t just clean up the mess, we stop the trauma before it happens.” Dr. David Grand, February 1, 2021.

We will introduce a Liberation Setup (contribution of Ben Yokoyama) to add to your tool box!
