The Client’s Gaze, The Therapist’s Heart: Brainspotting Tools for Attuned, Trauma-Informed Practice, Presented by Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW

When clients understand their trauma cognitively but remain stuck in patterns of shame, negative self-talk, and isolation, the healing invitation goes deeper than words. Many somatic therapies are beginning to offer solutions. Brainspotting is one model that bridges the sacred space between the client’s internal experience and the therapist’s attuned presence, accessing the subcortical brain where trauma and implicit memory are held.

This heart-centered, brain-body approach uses the client’s gaze as a doorway to unprocessed experiences that were “too much, too fast, or too soon.” Through the profound connection between focused eye position, body awareness and therapeutic attunement, clients can process deep wounds without retelling their stories.

Discover how to weave this transformative tool into your practice through live demonstration, case examples, and a personal Self-Spotting experience. Learn how Brainspotting enhances your therapeutic presence while supporting your clients’ nervous system regulation and emotional integration.  

This approach honors the client’s innate wisdom to heal within a compassionate therapeutic presence. Join us to learn about this powerful synergy for profound healing.
