This is a three-day Specialty course consisting of lecture, demonstration, and practicum for Brainspotting practitioners who have completed a Phase One training (either 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.
Attendees will learn about:
· The anatomy and physiology of the fascial system – especially relative to the freeze response
· The neurology of pain and chronic pain within the brain and the body
· Bodyspotting and several new frame set-ups to assist with processing physical and emotional pain and trauma
· Movement Integration to support and integrate changes which may occur in both the brain and body – for ANY of your Brainspotting clients
