Description
There’s a hunger for more effective and easy-to-use trauma therapies....
...And Brainspotting may be among the most effective discovered in the last 20 years that combines both somatic and cognitive methods.
A unique adaptation of EMDR, Brainspotting is an emerging model that recognizes trauma reactions in the body have a resonating “spot” in a person’s visual field or eye position.
In numerous clinical trials, Brainspotting has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related stress disorders – far more effective than a variety of other therapies.
Clients and therapists not only find this method easy to implement and follow, and research shows Brainspotting clients have significantly reduced symptoms, including full recovery from:
- Negative cognitions and upsetting memories
- Trauma-related anxiety
- Dissociation and flashbacks
- Shame and self-blame
- Hypervigilance
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Trauma-related sexual dysfunction
- And more...
You won’t find this training ANYWHERE else.
It’s never been released and represents the latest evidence-based methods for trauma treatment using the neuroexperiential model on which Brainspotting is based.
Seats both in-person and online are LIMITED. Register today before this training sells out!
