About Serene Calkins, P.T.: 

Serene has been a life-long writer as well as a Physical Therapist and Owner of Art and Science Physical Therapy. She is also a Brainspotting Therapist, Consultant and International Specialty Trainer for the “From Freeze to Thaw” trainings.

• “From Freeze to Thaw: Unlocking Trauma in the Body with Brainspotting” and
• “From Freeze to Thaw: The Next Level”.

The “From Freeze to Thaw” three-day trainings have been presented to audiences from 32 countries and translated into four languages. Summaries of “From Freeze to Thaw” were presented at the 2021 International Brainspotting Conference as well as for several national and international Brainspotting fundraisers and educational programs.

Serene created the Stepping Stones Workshops in 2005.

“Stepping Stones for Memoir Writers” uses a fluid structure to recall and record your personal history in a non-linear way to build into the collection of your personal history. Brainspotting supports deep recall and focused attention to interesting and valuable details of your history.

“Stepping Stones for Fiction Writers: Deepening Your Character Development” provides a simple yet profound structure that guides fiction writers to uncover events in their characters’ lives that shape, color, and foreshadow who they will become. Brainspotting is also used in these workshops to deepen the connection to their character and the creative writing process.
