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 training is all about increased awareness towards inclusion. We explore our social identities, how they overlap, to create the fullness of who we are. We all have privileged and subordinate identities; our hurt, pain, oppression and often injuries usually align with the subordinate identities. Marginalization and oppression are often viewed in the frame of “right & wrong” which becomes barriers to our humanness and being together from an inclusionary perspective. WE co-create the space together while moving at the speed of safety honoring all present in the space. We experientially explore many of the questions related to race, oppression, colonialism, and marginalization, as well as how multiple intersections such as genderism, sexism, ableism, classism, ageism, heterosexism, and other isms overlap for folx on the margins of community. We engage the information in a Brainspotting frame to increase the dual attunement frame and highlight meaningfulness around the uncertainty principle. We are ecstatic to have you in this inclusive environment where all are invited. “We don’t just clean up the mess, we stop the trauma before it happens.” Dr. David Grand, February 1, 2021.
