Feedback from past attendees:

"Joy’s skill and presence truly embodied the spirit of healing that we all aspire to. Her training was incredibly effective, as is her mastery of the art and science of Brainspotting. I feel truly grateful for having met her. I highly recommend Joy for whatever guidance is needed for personal and professional growth - her mastery can help guide us back home." - Douglas Cyr, MPA, MFT, FAAETS (Walnut Creek, CA)

"I came in unsure what to expect. I was completely blown away by the power of brainspotting, and how applicable it could be in the work I am already doing. I felt the environment created by Joy and the facilitators was probably the best I've experienced during any training, ESPECIALLY considering it was done virtually. I felt very engaged with the material and that there were multiple opportunities for me to learn about, ask questions, practice, and witness this work." - Claire Kalala, LCPC, Art Therapist (Hagerstown, MD)

"I greatly appreciate Joy and her professional assistants. My experience in BSP Level 1 and Level 2 was exceptional, and I left with practical skills I can use with my clients right away and not feeling overly constricted with BSP process. Thank you, Joy and team."

- Laina Winters, LCSW (Palmer, AK)

Course Description:

Brainspotting Phase One introduces students to the theory, research, and best practices of Brainspotting, how it works to heal trauma and other mental health conditions, education on the importance of reaching the deepest regions of the brain in order to have resolution, and the four techniques or ‘frames’ used to engage clients via a specific eye position, or “Brainspot,” so that they can process their trauma and be relieved of other diagnoses and mental health issues.

Educational Goals:

After taking part in this course, participants will have greater clinical skills to successfully alleviate the suffering of their clients who are coping with the various trauma responses (Flight, Fight, Freeze, Fawn) from past trauma. Attendees will learn how to utilize Brainspotting to heal a myriad of mental health conditions effectively, while always following their clients’ lead, as they process, assuring that participants won’t exert undue influence with their own values, beliefs, or identities that may adversely impact the clients’ therapeutic process. They will go back to their practices with greater sophistication in alleviating the symptoms of unresolved traumatic stress such as anxiety, depression, panic, insomnia, rage, hypervigilance, recurring nightmares, dissociation and chronic fatigue. This course will allow them to follow the ethics of staying current with developments in their field through educational activities or clinical experiences. Participants will grow professionally in their proficiency in appropriately resourcing their clients who may move out of their window of tolerance during the session, or for clients who are especially fragile or poorly resourced in life. This includes increasing their competency in recognizing clients with DID and the goals of treatment for this population. Attendees will be able to assess and appropriately treat those clients experiencing flashback during a session. Participants will move forward with the knowledge that they are working within their scope of practice and competence in treating clients with the goal of reducing their disturbance levels in each session and throughout the therapeutic process.

Day 1 Learning Objectives

1. Identify the two regions of the brain most involved in regulating a dysregulated nervous system.

2. .Name three symptoms of being “Stuck On” (Overly Sympathetic in the Autonomic Nervous System).

4. Recognize the two times during a Brainspotting session to identify clients’ subjective units of disturbance (0–10).

5. Identify strategies to prevent undue influence on the process and treatment of clients by recalling the two core principles of Brainspotting.

6. Demonstrate the eight steps of the Brainspotting Outside Window technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client.

7. Name three symptoms of being “Stuck Off” (Overly Parasympathetic in The Autonomic Nervous System).

Day 2 Learning Objectives

1. Demonstrate the nine steps of the Brainspotting Inside Window technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client.

2. Demonstrate the nine steps of the Brainspotting “Gazespotting” technique and apply their knowledge in a practicum setting as both the therapist and the client.

3. Explain the importance of client-therapist attunement during Brainspotting.

4. Explain the role of focused mindfulness in Brainspotting.

5. Apply bilateral music and describe its primary effect during Brainspotting.

Day 3 Learning Objectives

1. List the four most common types of limbic countertransference that may happen while being exposed to client traumatic material.

2. Distinguish two differences between a client in a flashback versus one outside their window of tolerance.

3. Apply the “Eye Contact” Brainspot technique until the flashback has passed.

4. Describe the two symptoms indicating a client is in flashback.
