Where You Look Affects How You Feel:  Introduction to Brainspotting

Amy Faragher, LPC and Rebecca Dacus, LPC

Workshop summary:

 Learning Objectives:


Workshop summary:
This workshop will allow the participant to walk away with an understanding of the 4 core DBT modules, including some of the more common practical DBT skills that clinicians can use in their practice.

 Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about the 4 core modules of DBT: Core Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
  • Gain an understanding of "dialectics," what it means, and how this can be applied in a clinical setting.
  • Learn some of the more common DBT skills that clinicians can take away and utilize in their practice.

Workshop summary:
This workshop introduces participants to Brainspotting, a powerful, brain-based therapeutic approach developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003. Brainspotting was developed from EMDR and is rooted in neurobiology, attunement, somatic processing, and mindfulness. Brainspotting uses eye position to access and process unprocessed trauma, emotional pain, and performance blocks stored in the subcortical brain. A live demonstration will provide an opportunity to observe the process in action, deepening participants’ understanding of how Brainspotting accesses the brain-body connection to facilitate healing and change. The workshop will also introduce pathways for further learning, including formal training opportunities for those interested in integrating Brainspotting into their professional practice.

 Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the core principles of Brainspotting and how it differs from traditional talk therapy approaches.  
  • Explain the concept of “where you look affects how you feel.”  
  • Observe and articulate key elements of a Brainspotting session, based on the live demonstration and discussion. 
  • Evaluate the potential applications of Brainspotting within their own professional or personal context and identify next steps for formal training and skill development.

Workshop summary:

 Learning Objectives:

Workshop summary:

Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRIĀ®) is an evidence-based, holistic, and attachment-based approach designed to support children and youth who have experienced complex trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or separation from caregivers. Developed by the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at Texas Christian University, it focuses on healing the "whole child" by addressing trauma's impact on the brain, body, and behavior.

Learning Objectives:

The TBRIĀ® Overview Class is a glimpse into the three principles that are central to the use of 

  1. Connecting - These build trust and 'felt' safety to disarm fear and enhance relationships.
  2. Empowering - These strengthen the child’s brain and body by meeting physical and environmental needs.
  3. Correcting - These are used to teach, rather than merely punish, by equipping children with social and behavioral tools.

Workshop summary:
