SUMMARY:Brainspotting Phase 2
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview\nThis 3-day, in-person Brainspotting Phase 2 training will begin with an extensive review of Outside and Inside Window Brainspotting and Gazespotting, with an emphasis on how to clinically interact with clients.\nTrainees will be introduced to several important applications. This includes One-Eye Brainspotting, including the use of One-Eye goggles. Also taught is 3 Dimensional Brainspotting using the “Z-Axis” of Brainspotting, close and far; this includes Vergence Therapy, which expands the Z-Axis to activate the vagus nerve through the ocularcardiac reflex.\nAdditional technical refinements will be presented, including “Rolling Brainspotting,” with slow eye tracking stopping briefly on each Brainspot.\nAdvanced techniques will also include combined Inside-Outside Brainspotting, where both reflexive responses and the client’s sense of highest activation are used together to find Brainspots.\nDay 3 will be devoted to the second level of the Advanced Resource Model. This will entail combining the resource aspects of One-Eye and Z-Axis Brainspotting. This addresses working with clients with Very Complex PTSD and those outside of the Brainspotting Window of Tolerance.\nTechniques taught with PowerPoint lecture, discussion with Q & A, demonstrations, and practicums.\nTrainings are open to all counselors, psychologists, social workers, and others in the healing professions with strong clinical backgrounds, as well as students/interns in the mental health field who seek to expand their knowledge.\nLearning Objectives \nParticipants of this intermediate level course will be able to:\n\nSummarize the research on client-therapist attunement in in-person and online psychotherapy sessions.\nSet and utilize the dual attunement frame.\nExplain the way in which bilateral auditory stimulation may enhance processing during Brainspotting.\nExplain the role of the allocortex and the agranular isocortex in Brainspotting.\nDescribe the oculocardio reflex and its relationship to the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the z-axis and vergence therapy techniques.\nExplain how the one-eye Brainspotting technique can focus and enhance processing of trauma-related experiences.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the one-eye Brainspotting technique.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the rolling Brainspotting technique.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the advanced outside window Brainspotting technique.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the use of the advanced resource model of Brainspotting.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the combined inside-outside Brainspotting technique.\nDemonstrate a basic mastery of the second-level advanced resource model of Brainspotting.\nAssess how specific advanced Brainspotting techniques can be used for complex PTSD and other trauma-related conditions.\n\nTrainings are open to all counselors, psychologists, social workers, and others in the healing professions with strong clinical backgrounds, as well as students/interns in the mental health field who seek to expand their knowledge.\nEvaluations and attendance certificates will be emailed within a week of training completion.\nAbout the Trainer\nMelanie K.
