Brainspotting, Spirituality & Intuition (BSI)

Seminar Overview

Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy based on the hypothesis that specific eye positions designated as "brainspots" activate and access specific areas of the midbrain. The midbrain is the seat of creativity, spirituality and where the self resides. By reprocessing and releasing core neurophysiological reactions from trauma, our true nature starts to be recognized again. This opens up attendees to their personal power, spirituality, and opens gateways to creativity as they begin to trust their intuition once again.

This Brainspotting Spirituality & Intuition training is designed for Advanced Brainspotting Practitioners to assist attendees and their clients in accessing more meaning and purpose through deepening their intuition, creativity and their personal worldview of spirituality.

Through the lens of the Neuroexperiential Model attendees of this training will explore their own individual psyche which is defined by the ancient greeks as breath, spirit or soul. This exploration enhances and expands the practitioners ability to witness and hold compassionate space for their clients. In the words of Dr. David Grand, “The bottom-up neuroexperiential starts with the nervous system in the body and rises towards conscious awareness and being.”

Attendees will learn and practice various ways of exploring their spirituality, intuition and creativity. Students will leave having many creative ideas on how to support and explore meaning and purposeful living with their clients. The focus will be on deep attunement among participants while exploring through the “uncertainty principle” and staying in the “tail of the comet”.
