This modality is for children and adults. Brainspotting is a relational, brain-body, mindfulness based therapy. It’s a way of healing the brain and body by accessing the subcortical areas of the brain. BSP can help process trauma, improve emotions, reduce pain, and more. This modality is designed for clients with a wide variety of emotional or somatic conditions, it is particularly effective with trauma-based situations, helping to identify and heal underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression and other behavioral conditions. It can also be used with performance and creativity enhancement. BSP gives the therapist access to both brain and body process. Its goal is to bypass the conscious, neocortical thinking to access the deeper, subcortical emotional and body-based parts of the brain. The therapist with focus and precision can find eye positions (Brainspots) where the trauma, anxiety, depression or behavioral problems are held in the brain. This allows the brain to process from the inside out and from the bottom up. Treatment sessions are done individually, treatment can be short term, once a solid therapeutic relationship has been establish, generally two to four sessions seem to produce positive effects. However, due to the uniqueness of each client and their experiences, the number of sessions required varies, meaning as many as eight or more sessions can be necessary. |
My 3 in 1 Journal: Guided Journal to Heal Your Inner Child, Increasing Self-Compassion and Boundaries for First Generation Women
As a Licensed and Marriage Family Therapist for the past 10 years I have worked with many First-Generation Women that struggled with healing their childhood wounds, feeling guilty for pursuing their own lives away from their traditional cultural values and navigating their close relationships with little boundaries. These dynamics often led these women to experience anxiety and or depression.
I have created this fillable PDF format guided journal to aide with the healing process of childhood wounds, increase self-compassion and increase boundary setting. I recommend this guided journal to be used in conjunction to therapy to process unhealed trauma and create effective coping strategies that fit your unique needs. There are a total of 60 journal entries. Also available as a Hard cover on Amazon through this link https://a.co/d/gU57oYZ
In each journal entry you will have the opportunity to practice deep breathing (relaxation), reflect on things you are grateful, identify your highlight of the day and even have the option to describe your day in a drawing for those with an artistic side!
There are three sections:
1. Healing My Inner-Child 20 Journal Entries
2. Healing through Self-Compassion (letting go of the guilt and expectations) 20 Journal Entries
3. Healing through Setting Boundaries 20 Journal Entries
At the end of each section, you will have a self-created list of 20 commitments/ways to heal your childhood wounds, practice self-compassion and practice setting boundaries.
