Introduction to Brainspotting Workshop Live Online Via Zoom
November 17, 2026
1:30pm – 3:00pm Eastern
Trainer: Jana Glass, LPC, MAC, PMH-C
Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy based on the hypothesis that specific eye positions designated as “brainspots” activate and access specific areas of the midbrain that allow for the reprocessing and releasing of core neurophysiological reactions to trauma-related and other psychological experiences.
In addition, brainspotting is built on a model that emphasizes therapist-client presence and attunement in the healing process. As an open and integrative model, brainspotting is adaptable to many different areas of specialization and can be integrated with other treatment models.
In this 1-1/2 hours Introduction to Brainspotting workshop, participants will will be able to:
- Describe the foundational principles and theory underlying Brainspotting.
- Understand the relationship between the brain, body, nervous system, and trauma processing.
- Identify the therapist qualities and relational conditions that support Brainspotting work.
- Recognize the importance of attunement, presence, curiosity, and following the client’s process.
- Observe a demonstration of the Brainspotting process and identify its key elements.
- Reflect on how Brainspotting may complement your existing therapeutic approach and clinical practice.

Participant Feedback:
“I am not a zoom learner and I was nervous when I signed up that I would not get the full picture. Jana is amazing even through zoom. She kept my attention and gave the perfect amount of feedback.” -Phase 1 participant
“I liked that it was well proportioned over four days, it allowed easier absorption of the material and fostered group cohesion between the participants since we met for longer period of time,” -Zoom Participant
“Jana- you are a fabulous trainer. I don’t think I’ve ever come away from a training actually believing “hey I can do this and I can do this now”. You instilled in us the belief that we had the competency to dive in. I also felt the size of the group was so conducive to you getting a sense of everyone’s capabilities and for us to feel a certain intimacy that really really reinforced all that you were trying to teach.” -Phase 1 participant
