Day 1| Brainspotting 2-Day Workshop with David Grand: Integrating the Neuroexperiential Model for Rapid Trauma Healing

Discover Brainspotting: the life-changing approach that equips therapists to access and rapidly process trauma hidden deeply within the brain and body. Evolved out of EMDR and somatic therapy practices, Brainspotting works by locating points in your client’s field of vision as pathways to directly access the deep brain and body. And with that access, we can more quickly and effectively resolve everything from trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment wounds to chronic fatigue, substance use, chronic pain, and performance issues. 

Program Information

Objectives

  1. Determine how eye positions have relevance in potentially accessing frozen trauma in the brain.  
  2. Identify the role of therapist in a Brainspotting session.  
  3. Determine how a client brings to session a frame of their experiences that the therapist recognizes, receives and holds with them.  
  4. Evaluate the evidence supporting Brainspotting therapy as a treatment intervention for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  
  5. Determine how the mutually held frame produces focused mindfulness processing.  
  6. Summarize how developmental trauma yielding symptomatic manifestations is inaccurately labeled as disordered.  
  7. Identify the hypothesized neurological underpinnings of how Brainspotting works.  
  8. Define the uncertainty principle as it relates to Brainspotting.  
  9. Use the inside and outside window Brainspotting technique.  
  10. Utilize “Part Spotting” with dissociation to facilitate higher functioning of healthy parts and ask harmful parts to take a step back.  
  11. Develop “Part-Spotting” with high functioning clients as well as the most dissociative and fragile clients.  
  12. Evaluate how Part-Spotting can get stuck clients moving forward towards a higher functioning life.
