Brainspotting and Imago: Healing Trauma & Increasing Attunement

presented by 
Ruth Eichler & Irene Antonellis

Are you curious about Brainspotting as a healing modality? Have you wondered how it might be applied to your Imago sessions? We know that body-based techniques are essential in treating trauma and increasing attunement and connection. Brainspotting explores the concept “Where you look affects how you feel,” and when facilitated between partners within an Imago session, it provides a powerful opportunity for healing, attunement and transformation.

In this 3 hour webinar, we will introduce Brainspotting, discuss its relevance in the treatment of trauma and its possible applications within an Imago session.  We will show how Brainspotting can help our clients tap into internal resources and increase attunement between partners.  We will demonstrate in real time a Brainspotting session using these methods.
