What are the benefits of Brainspotting?  
Based on neurobiological findings that the brain can heal itself, with Brainspotting, many people experience relief from traumatic experience such as accidents, early attachment difficulties, childhood abuse, loss of loved ones, bullying, unexpected life changes, etc. Brainspotting is also highly effective for anxiety, flashbacks, chronic pain, chronic illnesses,  hopelessness, depression, mood swings, and dissociation.
Brainspotting can not only heal the past, but also enhance performance, creativity, and spirituaity! 
Brainspotting provides practitioners age old yet revolutionary perspectives on healing. A modality that will help your clients heal at warp speed and help your practice flourish. 

What is Brainspotting?
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 addition, brainspotting is built on a model that emphasizes therapist-client presence and attunement in the healing process. As an open and integrative model, brainspotting is adaptable to many different areas of specialization and can be integrated with other treatment models.
In this introductory Brainspotting: Phase 1 training, participants will learn four basic brainspotting techniques. In addition, participants will receive an overview of the:
  • standards of care and professional practice for brainspotting practitioners,
  • research that supports the primary assumptions of brainspotting; and 
  • challenges of research and evidence-based treatment for conditions such as Complex PTSD 
What does it do?
Brainspotting provides therapists with powerful tools which enable themselves and their patients to quickly and effectively focus and process sources of many emotional, somatic and performance challenges through the deepest part of the brain with amazing resolutions! 
Why does it matter?
​Brainspotting was voted the most effective trauma treatment by the parents and survivors of the Sandy Hook massacre after a five-year study comparing over 25 therapeutic modalities. The parents ranked it first in its effectiveness in treating the traumatic loss of their young children.
Who is this training for?
​This training is available to all psychologists, counselors, social workers, educators, healthcare and healing professions such as doctors, nurses, physical therapists, acupuncturists, coaches and bodyworkers, etc, with strong clinical backgrounds, as well as students and associates. All nationalities are welcome (not just Asians)!
