Upcoming Brainspotting Phase 2 (In Person) – Green Bay, WI – March 14-16th 2025

This Brainspotting Phase 2 training will begin with an extensive review of Outside/Inside Window with an emphasis on how to clinically interact with clients during Brainspotting. We will then learn refinements of the process including how and when to titrate activation up or down.

Trainees will be introduced to several important new 3 Dimensional Brainspotting concepts using the “Z-Axis” of Brainspotting close and far and Vergence Therapy which expands the Z-Axis to activate the vagus nerve through the ocularcardiac reflex.

Additional technical refinements will be presented including “Rolling Brainspotting,” with slow eye tracking stopping briefly on each Brainspot along with “One eye” brainspotting technique.

For those working with more complex clientele, this training offers a number of useful skills for working more vulnerable system.  Advanced resource model of brainspotting along with other ways to work with a more resourced Brainspotting approach.

Must have completed BSP Phase 1 to attend.
