BRAINSPOTTING TRAININGS
ABOUT BRAINSPOTTING
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with BioLateral sound, which is deep, direct, powerful yet focused and containing.
Brainspotting identifies activated eye positions designated as Brainspots. Located through either one or both eyes, Brainspots are observed from either the “Inside Window” of the clients felt sense and/or the “Outside Window” of the clients’ reflexive responses (i.e., blink, eye twitches or wobbles, pupil dilation, quick breaths and subtle body shifts). Students will first learn the phenomenological approach that underpins strategies for Brainspotting, followed by strategies for identifying and processing Brainspots. Attention will be given to the utilization and integration of Brainspotting into ongoing treatment, including highly dissociative clients.
Brainspotting is adaptable to almost all areas of specialization. Brainspotting provides therapists with powerful tools to enable their patients to quickly and effectively process through the deep brain sources of many held traumas, emotional, somatic and performance problems.
TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
“I very intentionally chose which Phase 2 training I would take. I wanted to be trained by someone who has worked closely with the first person I was trained by, who is such a mentor of mine. I wanted to receive training by someone who practices with a very similar lens to my own. All weekend I was filled with a sense of gratitude for choosing this particular training because Mariya just fit all of my hopes and then exceeded them.” -Trainee, Nov 2023 Phase 2
“BSP Phase 1 training with Mariya and Joy was an enriching experience. They created balance in the ''training group's system" that allowed us to learn in an equitable, patient and supportive way. Between the lecture/group reflection/small group reflection/demos and practicum, I felt like the training was continually moving and building on the concepts introduced.” -Ryan E., Utah
“Phase 1 training was incredible. The excitement was high, and concepts were clear. I will forever hold the gratitude of collaborating with professionals compatible with my level of passion toward healing others. Healing, and being healed by individuals around the country was a humbling experience. It was bittersweet to make such strong, vulnerable and authentic connections in 3 days, then to disperse and use our skills elsewhere. My words cannot begin to explain how powerful this experience was. It was obvious that our trainers put genuine thought and care into their approach. There is nothing I would change. This was the most open, non-judgmental group of individuals I have ever been apart of. Thank you all!” -Gracie L., Wisconsin
“I absolutely loved my experience at the Phase 1 training. I went into the weekend thinking it'd be primarily lecture based with some awkward role play practicums, but found that it was such a meaningful, therapeutic, and connected space. I so appreciated everyone who was present and vulnerable in sharing their experiences, the consultants who offered feedback during the practicums, and Joy and Mariya for overall being so supportive and welcoming to the new BSP cohort!” -Amanda B., Oregon
