Psychotherapy Networker Symposium: Brainspotting: Processing Trauma without Talking About It By David Grand

Symptoms of unprocessed trauma–including dissociation, numbing, and chronic anxiety–are notoriously difficult to eliminate through talk therapy, since the overwhelmed brain is unable to process verbal information about the events. But Brainspotting, a brain-based method of clearing trauma blockage, without their having to talk about it, nurtures clients’ capacity for natural self-healing. You will learn Brainspotting techniques through observation, a demonstration, and participating in a practicum.

• Show clients to follow a “Brainspot”–the eye position in the visual field associated with the activation of trauma
• Explain to clients how to attend to their inner experience as they release emotions that typically are out of consciousness
• Recognize when a traumatic block has been cleared away and the desired change has been achieved

• The Discovery of Brainspotting
• Eye Anomalies
• Relevant Eye Positions
• What is a Brainspot?
• The Two Models of BSP
• Neuroplasticity
• Trauma and Brian Processing
• The Uncertainty Principle
• Focused Mindfulness

What is health?

In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source defined health with a phrase that modern authorities still apply.

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

In 1986, the WHOTrusted Source made further clarifications:

“A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.”

This means that health is a resource to support an individual’s function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. A healthful lifestyle provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.

In 2009, researchers publishing inThe LancetTrusted Source defined health as the ability of a body to adapt to new threats and infirmities.

They base this definition on the idea that the past few decades have seen modern science take significant strides in the awareness of diseases by understanding how they work, discovering new ways to slow or stop them, and acknowledging that an absence of pathology may not be possible.
