Course Description:

Brainspotting Phase One introduces students to the theory, research, and best practices of Brainspotting, how it works to heal trauma and other mental health conditions, education on the importance of reaching the deepest regions of the brain in order to have resolution, and the four techniques or ‘frames’ used to engage clients via a specific eye position, or “Brainspot,” so that they can process their trauma and be relieved of other diagnoses and mental health issues.

Educational Goals:

After taking part in this course, participants will have greater clinical skills to successfully alleviate the suffering of their clients who are coping with the various trauma responses (Flight, Fight, Freeze, Fawn) from past trauma. Attendees will learn how to utilize Brainspotting to heal a myriad of mental health conditions effectively, while always following their clients’ lead, as they process, assuring that participants won’t exert undue influence with their own values, beliefs, or identities that may adversely impact the clients’ therapeutic process. They will go back to their practices with greater sophistication in alleviating the symptoms of unresolved traumatic stress such as anxiety, depression, panic, insomnia, rage, hypervigilance, recurring nightmares, dissociation and chronic fatigue. This course will allow them to follow the ethics of staying current with developments in their field through educational activities or clinical experiences. Participants will grow professionally in their proficiency in appropriately resourcing their clients who may move out of their window of tolerance during the session, or for clients who are especially fragile or poorly resourced in life. This includes increasing their competency in recognizing clients with DID and the goals of treatment for this population. Attendees will be able to assess and appropriately treat those clients experiencing flashback during a session. Participants will move forward with the knowledge that they are working within their scope of practice and competence in treating clients with the goal of reducing their disturbance levels in each session and throughout the therapeutic process.

Learning Objectives (21 Total CE Hours):

Participants will be staying current in the field of brain science by being able to name the two regions of the brain most involved in regulating a dysregulated nervous system.
Participants will be able to name symptoms of being “Stuck On” (Overly Sympathetic in the Autonomic Nervous System) and “Stuck Off” (Overly Parasympathetic in The Autonomic Nervous System).
Participants will be able to explain the difference between activated eye positions (Brainspots) and resource eye positions (Brainspots).
Participants will be able to avoid exerting undue influence on the process and treatment of their clients by being able to recall the two core principles of Brainspotting by allowing “uncertainty” and “staying in the tail of the comet.”
Participants will be able to demonstrate the Brainspotting Outside Window technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client. Assistants are available throughout the training to help them apply your technique more skillfully.
Participants will be able to demonstrate the Brainspotting Inside Window technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client.
Participants will be able to demonstrate the nine steps of the Brainspotting Gazespotting technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client.
Participants will be able to list the four most common types of limbic countertransference that they may experience while being exposed to their client’s traumatic material.
Participants will be able to distinguish two differences between a client in a flashback versus one who is outside their window of tolerance and apply the “Eye Contact” Brainspot until the flashback has passed.
Participants will be able to describe the two symptoms indicating a client is in flashback.
Participants will recognize the two things required to stay in their scope of practice and competence in treating clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Participants will be able to demonstrate the Body Resource technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client.
