My name is Kathlynn Gates and I am a therapist in the state of California. Throughout my career, I have gained experience working with individuals who struggle with issues stemming from substance abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, personality disorders, and coping with depression and anxiety.

In my work with clients, I have experience utilizing modalities like CBT, DBT, EBT, MI, PST, and LGBTQ Affirmative Therapy. All of these tools can help an individual process trauma, overcome life's challenges, and effectively navigate the path to healing.

Brainspotting Demonstration

Brainspotting techniques involve a therapeutic approach where a clinician helps a client locate specific eye positions, or "brainspots," that correlate with areas of unprocessed trauma or emotional distress in the brain. By maintaining a fixed gaze on these spots, the client is able to access and process deeply rooted psychological issues that might not be easily reached through traditional talk therapy. The therapist uses tools like a pointer or their own finger to guide the client's gaze, often allowing the client to notice physical sensations and emotional responses that arise during the process. This technique leverages the brain-body connection to facilitate the release and integration of traumatic memories, providing a pathway for healing conditions such as anxiety, depression, dissociation, and hypervigilance. The goal of brainspotting is to help clients achieve a greater sense of emotional regulation and overall psychological well-being.

Individuals, presenting symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, and hypervigilance, engages in the session by focusing on specific spots within their visual field that correlate with the unresolved distress. As the client identifies these brainspots, they begin to experience a range of emotional responses, from the surfacing of traumatic memories to the gradual alleviation of hypervigilant tendencies. The video showcases the therapeutic process, highlighting how brainspotting can facilitate the integration of fragmented experiences and promote a sense of calm and presence in individuals grappling with complex psychological conditions.

Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique developed by Dr. David Grand, which involves using the visual field to access and process trauma, anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues. In a session, the therapist helps the client identify "brainspots," specific eye positions that correlate with emotional or physiological activation related to their issue.
During the process, the client's gaze is directed towards these brainspots, facilitating the release and processing of stored traumatic or distressing experiences. This can lead to profound healing and relief from symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Benefits of brainspotting include:
Anxiety Reduction: By targeting the underlying neural networks associated with anxiety, brainspotting can help reduce the intensity and frequency of anxious thoughts and sensations.
Depression Alleviation: Brainspotting can aid in accessing and processing unresolved emotions and traumatic experiences that contribute to depression, leading to improved mood and a sense of well-being.
Trauma Healing: Brainspotting is particularly effective in treating trauma by allowing individuals to access and process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled manner. This can result in decreased symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and improved emotional regulation.
Nervous System Regulation: Brainspotting helps regulate the nervous system by activating the body's innate capacity to heal and self-regulate. By addressing dysregulated neural patterns, it promotes a sense of calm and resilience.
Overall, brainspotting offers a unique and effective approach to therapy that can address a wide range of psychological issues by accessing the brain's natural ability to heal and process distressing experiences.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) challenges several common myths about emotions through its comprehensive approach. One key tenet of DBT is the rejection of the myth that emotions are either entirely rational or irrational. Instead, DBT emphasizes that emotions are multifaceted and can be understood through a combination of rational and emotional elements. Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, the creator of DBT, highlights the importance of wise mind, a state where rational and emotional minds coalesce to inform decision-making. Another myth addressed by DBT is the notion that strong emotions should be completely suppressed or ignored. DBT recognizes the validity of emotions and encourages individuals to acknowledge, tolerate, and skillfully manage them. By fostering acceptance and understanding of emotions, DBT helps individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional experiences and promotes a more balanced and adaptive approach to emotional well-being.

Wise mind, reasonable mind, and emotional mind are concepts often used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Marsha M. Linehan. Wise mind represents a state of balanced thinking, combining both rational and emotional aspects. It is the place where logical reasoning and heartfelt intuition converge to guide decisions and actions. Reasonable mind, on the other hand, is associated with purely logical and analytical thinking, devoid of emotional influence. Emotion mind, conversely, is dominated by feelings and impulses without much consideration for logical reasoning. The goal in DBT is to find a synthesis of these states, utilizing the strengths of both reason and emotion to make informed and balanced choices. Striking a harmonious balance between these three states is crucial for effective decision-making and emotional well-being.

In DBT, a mindfulness walk that engages all five senses is a grounding exercise designed to promote present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. During such a walk, individuals intentionally focus on sensory experiences through their sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. For example, they may observe the colors and shapes of objects (sight), listen to the sounds of nature or their surroundings (hearing), feel the texture of the ground or objects they touch (touch), pay attention to any tastes in the air or from food they might be consuming (taste), and notice any scents or fragrances in the environment (smell). By actively involving all their senses, individuals can better anchor themselves in the present moment, reduce distress, and enhance their capacity to manage challenging emotions, which are core goals in DBT.
