Brainspotting Phase 2

Brainspotting Phase Two introduces students to five additional Brainspotting techniques to broaden the skills of the attendees in treating their more severely traumatized clients. Two techniques are taught for clients who have adaptively dissociated as a result of severe trauma. These “frames” are called “Rolling Brainspotting” and “Inside/ Outside Window” Brainspotting. This allows relevant eye positions to be found for the client outside of their awareness. The clinicians learn to identify reflexes in the body, eyes, and face that are signals from the client’s brain that an area of significance has been found in the visual field. This is groundbreaking for clients who have not been able to heal because of their dissociation or “freeze” response. The next three techniques are aimed at quickly adding layers of additional resourcing for clients who feel overwhelmed in session or find themselves shutting down. These techniques are called, “One Eye Brainspotting”, “Z Axis Brainspotting” with “Vergence Brainspotting” (More rapid Z Axis), and the “Advanced Resource Model of Brainspotting.” Attendees will review key principles and theories from Phase One in addition to learning important tools and techniques in working with Dissociation and the more severely traumatized needing higher levels of resourcing. These five new methods of Brainspotting allow clinicians to find specific, resourced eye positions to keep their clients within their window of tolerance. The more advanced techniques will engender confidence in the attendees' ability to handle more fragile and dissociative clients.
