Brainspotting training
Hey, did anyone else have an adverse training experience if they went through phase 1 training?
I recently completed phase 1 and it was a terrible experience. I know more about the trainer than I do about brainspotting. Anytime someone asked a practical question she deflected or gaslit us. I’m kind of pissed because I used 2/3 of my training budget for this course.
I don’t know what’s needed for the informed consent with a client or how to even introduce the therapy to a client so that it’s approachable. But I know her son is going to have a kid in 4 months and that his gf is beautiful and has faced issues with pretty privilege at her job.
I was told that I would need to connect with a consultant (I.e. pay more money) to learn how they explain it to clients or about the informed consent.
If anything, I want to know
- if there are better trainers out there who don’t center themselves the entire training (yeah after demo clients with participants she talked about herself and praised her abilities)
- how do you explain it to your clients
- What is your informed consent process.
Final thoughts- seems like the culty MLM of therapy. The training was 750$ there were 58 participants, the trainer made nearly $50k for the weekend.
