The Multi-Faceted Role of Religion & Spiritualities in Brainspotting

Recent research in religion, spirituality, & mental heath shows that while over 80% of the world's population have some sort of religio--spiritual belief set and/or practice, most mental health practitioners are lacking in training and competence when the healing frame includes organized religious tranditions as well as personal/collective spiritual and mystical experiences.

​

In this workshop class we will explore:​

• how Brainspotting and various religio-spiritual frameworks both converge & diverge ​

• ways that limbic countertransference may arise from the intersection of Brainspotting practitioners' own religio-spiritual frames with those of their clients

• how engaging with client's religio-spiritual experiences can enhance the effectiveness of Brainspotting
