Psychotherapy Networker Symposium Brainspotting Processing Trauma without Talking About It – David Grand

Symptoms of unprocessed trauma-including dissociation, numbing, and chronic anxiety-are notoriously difficult to eliminate through talk therapy, since the overwhelmed brain is unable to process verbal information about the events. But Brainspotting, a brain-based method of clearing trauma blockage, without their having to talk about it, nurtures clients’ capacity for natural self-healing. You will learn Brainspotting techniques through observation, a demonstration, and participating in a practicum.

• Show clients to follow a “Brainspot”-the eye position in the visual field associated with the activation of trauma
• Explain to clients how to attend to their inner experience as they release emotions that typically are out of consciousness
• Recognize when a traumatic block has been cleared away and the desired change has been achieved

• The Discovery of Brainspotting
• Eye Anomalies
• Relevant Eye Positions
• What is a Brainspot?
• The Two Models of BSP
• Neuroplasticity
• Trauma and Brian Processing
• The Uncertainty Principle
• Focused Mindfulness
