12:00 PM ET – 4:15 PM ET
Overview:
Brainspotting is an emerging treatment method that uses relevant eye positions to identify, process and release core neurophysiological sources of emotional or somatic pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of challenging conditions. Despite being highly technical, Brainspotting is a foundationally relational model. This keynote presents Brainspotting as a psychotherapy that views the human experience and human suffering from a global, developmental and neurological point of view.
This workshop addresses:
- How Brainspotting works and how it differs from other trauma processing therapies
- How to utilize and integrate Brainspotting into ongoing treatment, including highly dissociative clients.
- Live demonstration of how Brainspotting works in clinical practice
Objectives:
- Explain how eye positions have relevance in potentially accessing and healing unprocessed trauma in the brain.
- Discuss how the 1 – 4 quadrillion synaptic connections in the human nervous system leave the therapist in a perpetual state of uncertainty.
- Describe how the client brings to the session a frame of their experiences that the therapist recognizes, receives and holds with the client.
- Explain how the mutually held frame produces focused mindfulness processing that supports the innate human capacity for self-healing.
- Reflect on how developmental trauma yielding symptomatic manifestations is inaccurately labeled as disordered.
