Upcoming Brainspotting Trainings
“From Freeze to Thaw: Unlocking Trauma in the Body with Brainspotting” online training
This is a three-day Specialty Training course consisting of lecture, demonstration, and practicum for Brainspotting practitioners who have completed a Phase One training in-person (or live, on-line training). This course will explain what happens in the body during Brainspotting on a tissue level, a cellular level and biochemical level.
This will be illustrated through:
1. Explanation of the anatomy and physiology of the fascial system, specific to the freeze response and to trauma held in the body
2. Exploration of the neurology of pain - within the brain and within the body
3. Analysis of current treatment approaches for several types of chronic pain syndromes and why adding Brainspotting will significantly increase their rate of success
4. Integration of the theory, practice, and techniques of addressing physical issues through Brainspotting, including the set-ups and deep explorations of Bodyspotting, Sweeps, Doublespotting and a new set up called Integration, through lecture, demo, and practicum
5. Introduction of Movement Integration (MI) through lecture, demonstration, and practice, to facilitate full-body integration of the brain and body changes - in every client- regardless of which Brainspotting setups you use in your practice

“from freeze to thaw: the next level” online training
This is a three-day Specialty Training for Brainspotting Therapists who have already taken “From Freeze to Thaw: Unlocking Trauma in the Body with Brainspotting”.
Quickly building on the original concepts of “From Freeze to Thaw: Unlocking Trauma in the Body with Brainspotting”, this training acknowledges that we are not wounded in isolation, thus making it difficult to heal in isolation. We explore how true, deep healing can be specifically powerful when supported through the telling of our story to an attuned listener. Through lecture, demo and practice of three new Brainspotting setups, this training will provide therapists with the tools for clearing personal traumas thus allowing these same setups to be used with vulnerability and increased attunement with clients and patients.
The Integration Model 2.0 Setup is where we ended our last time together and the expanding of this application is the springboard for “The Next Level”. The powerful Story Arc Setup, deeply rooted in the fascial system, provides an open framework to explore the chapters of our own story. The Doorbell Setup, which helps encourage tenderness within our clients or patients – and ourselves – will exponentially enhance attunement. Finally, this training supports staying true to the principles of Brainspotting within the scope of our own individual license and practice.
