As this training is in partnership with Brainspotting Spain, there will be a few differences with this training in comparison to our other 2023 trainings. Please note that this is a 4 day training, CEUs will be unavailable through R. Cassidy Seminars, the time zone is different than our normal times, and the training lecture & materials will be provided in both English and Spanish. English speakers are still more than welcome to attend.
**21 CE hours through R. Cassidy Seminars are NOT available for this training; however we are happy to provide you with any information you need to apply for CEUs to your state board.**
This is a four-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
