Course design includes highly interactive seminars, workbook readings, written assignments, and fidelity reviews of practice samples with performance-based feedback. Throughout the course, you will be observing, practicing, and applying person-centered MI skills: Engaging, Focusing, Evoking, and Planning. At completion, participants will be able to demonstrate the requisite attitudes, knowledge, and skills (competency) in order to practice MI with fidelity and begin the initial integration of MI into their routine practices.

A fourth recording is done after the final with a standardized client, then later played back and reviewed with a standard fidelity instrument: the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity, version 4.2.1.

NEW: Brainspotting, Phase OneBrainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional and body pain, trauma, dissociation, and other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting provides therapists with powerful tools that help their clients quickly and effectively focus and process through the deep-brain sources of many emotional, somatic, and performance problems. Brainspotting can be adapted to almost all areas of specialization.Brainspotting identifies activated eye positions designated as Brainspots. Located through either one or both eyes, Brainspots are observed from either the

“Inside Window” of the client’s felt sense and/or the “Outside Window” of the client’s reflexive responses (e.g., blinking, eye twitches or wobbles, pupil dilation, quick breaths, subtle body shifts). Students first learn the phenomenological approach that underpins Brainspotting strategies, followed by strategies for identifying and processing Brainspots. The class will address how to use and integrate Brainspotting in ongoing treatment, including work with highly dissociative clients.

This class is designed to help you: • Define the components of Brainspotting.• Use Inside Window, Outside Window, and

Gazespotting techniques.• Define how Brainspotting can be applied

to trauma, dissociation, sports psychology, and somatic conditions.

It then shares advanced techniques such as combined Inside-Outside Brainspotting, in which both reflexive responses and the client’s sense of highest activation are used together to find Brainspots. The class addresses how to use the second level of the Advanced Resource Model to work with clients with very complex PTSD and clients outside of the Brainspotting Window of Tolerance. It also covers Dimensional Brainspotting that uses the “Z-Axis” of Brainspotting close and far. This includes Convergence Therapy, which expands the Z-Axis to activate the vagus nerve through the ocular cardiac reflex.

This class is designed to help you: • Review and understand the components of

Brainspotting.• Describe how Brainspotting can used with clients in a

clinical setting.• Apply the One-Eye Brainspotting technique, including
