Topic:

Brain Spotting & Trauma

Speaker:

Deborah Antinor

In this workshop Deborah Antinori will explore factors that shape anticipatory pet loss. She will outline current brain literature, particularly Brainspotting Therapy. This is a neurobiological  “dual attunement approach” where the therapist is exquisitely attuned to the client’s experience while simultaneously identifying the eye gaze that resonates with the emotional and somatic distress the client identifies. She will offer experiential exercises to show how to approach distressing emotions, visual images, and other somatic discomforts in an effective, safe and respectful manner.  Question, answer and discussion period will follow.
