This 6-hour online writer’s retreat provides an opportunity for Brainspotting therapists to explore their own healing through writing. We will honor your writer’s soul, and connect with the influence our unconscious brain has on our writing and healing process. This will be a fun day filled with writing, sharing, laughter, and healing among kindred spirits. We invite you to join us and experience the power of the Neuroexperiential Model as it supports the deep healing possible with Brainspotting and Writing.
