While life can be full of joy and excitement, it can also be overwhelming, devastating, and terrifying all at the same time. The stress and pressure that we all experience at some point in our lives can take a toll on our minds and bodies when ignored or left unprocessed. This accumulation of stress results in dysregulation within us that might look like anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, chronic pain, or other somatic complaints. Individual therapy is a great place to start challenging your fears, explore faulty thinking patterns, and rewire negative emotional reactions that are interfering with your aspirations, relationships, and being the best version of yourself. Collaborate with a professional to build upon your strengths and make more thoughtful choices to respond and reframe your perceptions to align with your core values. You don't have to keep going down this path alone.
What is Brainspotting?
Presentions focus on areas of training and specialization, including:
Ideal audiences may be school counselors, parents, mental health clinicians, and healthcare providers seeking a better understanding of the brain-body connection and how to apply appropriate and effective interventions for symptom relief and improved functioning. Psychoeducation materials and resources are offered to expand providers' toolboxes and guide stress management practices.
Families are the biggest influence on who we are and how we interact with the world. All families deal with conflict or disconnection from time to time, but working through the issues together and directly addressing recurring problems can actually create stronger bonds and highlight our individual strengths. Investing your energy, time, and effort to make these improvements can yield acceptance, belonging, love, understanding, and compassion. Everyone deserves to have a voice and to be heard. Work with a therapist to ensure that communication is productive; to clarify each member's role in the system; and to truly understand the best ways to positively connect and support one another.
