Do you work with folks with dissociation and inner parts? I have two upcoming events in October that you may find helpful.

-Open Consult Group: Dissociative Identity Phenomena- Tuesday, October 14
-Specialty BSP Workshop: Dissociative Identity Phenomena (DIP) and Inner Parts Work-October 17 - 19

“I consulted with Connie regarding clients with dissociative identity phenomenon. She shared invaluable knowledge about this complex condition in a way that was both clear, easy to understand, and compassionate. Connie is exceptionally attuned and brings not only advanced skill but also a genuine, loving presence to her work. I felt profoundly supported and guided, and I trust her expertise wholeheartedly. She has helped me be a better clinician and better support my clients. Her combination of professional depth and heartfelt care makes her a truly rare and gifted clinician. “

You're invited to the next cohort of the advanced specialty workshop: Dissociative Identity Phenomena & Inner Parts Work on October 17-19th, 2025

Includes free admission to 3 follow-up DIP consultation groups, giving you continued support as you integrate this powerful work.

Therapists will learn how to assess and work with dissociative identity phenomena through a neuroexperiential lens, using Brainspotting as a foundation. You’ll gain practical tools and structured techniques to identify and engage with inner parts, self-states, and dissociative adaptations—while staying attuned to the client’s attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and protective systems.

Through specialized interventions like the Mosaic Inner Parts Exercises, the 6 F’s of Trauma Response, and the Yellow Brick Road Technique, you'll learn how to map internal systems, track dissociative responses, and safely support trauma processing with vulnerable clients. This training will also help you refine your therapeutic presence, understand limbic countertransference, and apply a flexible, compassionate approach that meets each client exactly where they are.

“Connie is really knowledgeable on DIP and treating it individualized and not as a disorder. I learned quite a bit from her about attachment and developmental theory as it relates to DIP, the way she teaches it made so much sense to me!” - CC
“Anyone who works with trauma survivors should consider DIP training mandatory. Guaranteed to change the way you practice.” - DR

Brainspotting & Inner BlindSpot Work: October 4th from 9am-6pm Pacific
(approved specialty workshop)

Do you know what your Blindspots are?

Blindspots are areas of unawareness within our own thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors that we are not consciously aware of, but have significant influence over all aspects of our functioning. Blindspots can contribute to feelings of "stuckness" and lack of flourishing. In this one day course, participants will gain the ability to identify personal and client blind spots, bringing clarity to how unconscious patterns shape behaviors and limit potential. Your biggest breakthrough may be hiding within your BlindSpots.

7.5 CE credits are available. $50 off for RMBI/SEBI/MBI/Brainspotting Canada members. Student and retake rates are available. (Special discount if you donate to BSP Help)

Are you a Brainspotter who works with children and adolescents? Curious about what it might be like to do neuroexperiential processing with younger ones?

Join the next BSP with Children and Adolescents approved consultation group on Tuesday, September 16th from 8:00-10:00am Pacific.

About Me: I have been working with children and adolescents since 1979 with my master’s degree. I did my clinical internship with both outpatient and inpatient Child and Adolescent Services, and did my clinical dissertation towards my doctorate on a developmental diagnosis model for the diagnosis and treatment of adolescents. Since I earned my doctoral degree in 1985, I have had a specialization with children and adolescent treatment. I have been trained in Brainspotting since 2008, and have been trained in BSP with Children and Adolescents since 2019. I have assisted Dr. Monika Baumann in many of her BSP with Children and Adolescent trainings, since 2019. A second specialization is working with dissociative identity phenomena, with complex PTSD, developmental trauma, and parts work.

Registration is open on my website https://www.psychhealingandgrowth.com/specialty-consultation-groups

This Saturday, June 7th: Brainspotting and Inner BlindSpot Work: Approved Specialty Workshop!

Join us online from 9am-6pm Pacific; 7.5 CE credits available!!

What is a blindspot and how can it create blocks for an individual?

Blindspots are areas in our lives and functioning that are out of our conscious awareness. I utilize the blind spot of the human eye as one of the metaphors for how we function with these limitations. Interestingly, our brain compensates for the hole in the visual field of our vision and "fills in" that portion for us, which makes it harder to become aware of it. These functional compensations and adaptations can influence our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall functioning, while over time, create patterns in our lives that don't serve us well, or can cause limitations in ways that we wouldn't choose if we were aware. Our unconscious shadow parts can also communicate with us, leading us towards new adaptations that can be coupled with our subcortical wisdom. New pathways of awareness and functioning can be developed and expanded.

$50 off for RMBI/SEBI/MBI/Brainspotting Canada members. Student and retake rates available too!

Calling all Brainspotters curious to know more about dissociative experiences and inner parts work!

This approved specialty workshop dives deep into how to identify and support the various adaptive dissociative responses we might see in sessions, and ways to engage in parts work in the healing process. We'll go over how to determine when we can use Brainspotting directly, and when some extra scaffolding might be required.

October 17-19th from 9am-6pm Pacific
(22.5 CE hours available)
