Workshop Description - Phase 1

  • Intermediate Level Brainspotting Training
  • ​Pre-requisite: Completion of Brainspotting Phase 1
Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy based on the hypothesis that specific eye positions designated as “brainspots” activate and access specific areas of the midbrain that allow for the reprocessing and releasing of core neurophysiological reactions to trauma-related and other psychological experiences.
In this intermediate training, participants will enhance their understanding of core concepts such as the dual attunement frame and the uncertainty principle introduced in the Brainspotting Phase 1 training. Participants of this training will also practice and demonstrate mastery of the four basic brainspotting frames:
  • outside window
  • inside window
  • gazespotting and
  • body resource
