BRAINSPOTTING PHASE 1 TRAINING

WITH MONIKA GOS, CPSYCHOL,
BRAINSPOTTING TRAINER

When: 19th – 21st May 2023 Where: Online (Zoom) Cost: £445.00 Early bird price available till 19th April. CPD: 24 hours

Endorsed by such leading authors as Dr Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk and Norman Doidge, Brainspotting can quickly release symptoms of trauma, bringing relief from the experience of psychological and physical pain. Principles of Brainspotting work hand in hand and reflect the latest developments in neuroscience.

In Brainspotting we are tapping into the brain’s inherent capacity for self-organising and self-healing. It can be easily integrated into your clinical practice, enhancing any therapeutic model.

In Phase 1 training you will discover how to access dissociated traumatic memories stored in the deep subcortical brain. You will learn how to use eye positions to locate, process and release trauma. This level of healing can be achieved neither through language nor will.

Brainspotting will take your practice and the relationship with your client to a whole new dimension, bringing deep healing and lasting change.

Research Title

“An exploration into counsellors’ experiences of student suicidality in the higher education institutes of Ireland.”

Researcher Introduction

Joe Donohue is an accredited member of the IAHIP and has worked for a number of years with students in higher education and previously in a crisis counselling service with clients at risk of suicide and self-harm. Joe is interested in researching counsellors working in the higher education sector with experiences of student suicidality.

The Research

In light of recent Irish national reports and studies, such as My World Survey II (2020) and the USI National Report on Mental Health (2019), which indicated the prevalence of suicidality among students and an ever-increasing demand for counselling in higher education institutions, this study seeks to understand the experiences of working with suicidal students from the perspective of counsellors at the front line of higher education institutions in Ireland.

Participants that are being sought

This study seeks participants who are fully accredited psychotherapists with over three years of experience counselling students in Irish higher education institutions and who have experienced suicidality (suicidal ideation or intent) among their student clients.

The method of data collection and time commitment required from participants

If you are interested in participating in this study, a plain language statement with further details about the research will be emailed to potential participants. Data collection will be collected via an online interview on ZOOM or in person if you prefer. The interview will last 45 minutes to 60 minutes.

The deadline for participation

The research study will be conducted between February and May 2023.
