orienting our nervous system toward justice

brain spotting: gaze spotting, self spotting, use art as the spot - use a piece/photo that activates; use of expansion for reframing assumptions/beliefs we have; growing a different outcome; "deprogramming the lie"/beliefs; caution about talking about trauma associated with privilege is - will it give people an out? it is what you were taught not necessarily rooted in trauma; working on the activation when you are called on your bias, bringing down the activation with BSP; being able to own privilege - use of body spotting perspective;  ​

​“Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and extinguishing it by down-regulating the amygdala. It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) activation that is facilitated, it is homeostasis.”
-- Robert Scaer, MD, “The Trauma Spectrum"
“Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
