Seminar Overview

The Brainspotting (BSP) Intensive was devised by David Grand, founder and developer of BSP, to provide the ultimate learning experience for BSP therapists. The registration is capped at 10 participants and the schedule is for five full consecutive days. There are 10 experientials in the center of the group with each participant being therapist once and client once. Regina sits next to the therapist and personally teaches by guiding the therapist in the Brainspotting process. Afterwards, each session is debriefed extensively, enhancing the learning process. In sum, the Intensive is a master class in developing skills as an advanced clinical BSP therapist. Cost: $2000 per person. Can be paid in two payments if needed. Included: Continental breakfast, snacks, coffee, & tea & certification is included (if not already certified). Extra/not included: Lodging, transportation, lunch, dinner, personal care, extras. This workshop will allow time to process traumas, processing of performance enhancement barriers, and an opportunity to work through negative beliefs about oneself. There will be opportunities for each participant to observe, practice administering and to receive an extended Brainspotting session. It is also an opportunity to become certified as it covers the 6-hour requirement for consultations for those who are not yet certified in BSP. Prerequisite: Phase I & Phase II Brainspotting training.

FULL AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS TRAINING

*A payment link is provided after you have completed your registration and can be completed with a Credit or Debit Card.

Requirements and Expectations:

100% attendance is required for each day. This means that you are not able to leave the training for a few hours to go attend another meeting etc. and then return to the training, as the training is experiential and this may leave someone without a dyad partner, and you may miss key info. If you are unable to attend 100% each day, then do not register for the training as opting out of practicums is NOT permitted. All aspects of the training must be completed with full participation.
During Brainspotting Trainings, you will have the opportunity to both witness and practice different live Brainspotting sessions. This teaching is highly experiential, and you may experience activation during the process. I encourage you to engage in meaningful self-care throughout the training and reach out to any of the facilitators for support. Additionally, please remember that the experientials are for practice purposes and while healing may occur, we encourage you to focus on issues that are well within your system's window of tolerance.
