I’d like to take a moment to share more about Brainspotting Help (give us a follow). Perhaps you’ve heard of us, or perhaps you haven’t yet, but we want to spread the word about this humanitarian organization and invite more support so that we can continue to support others.

The vision behind Brainspotting Help is to create safety net systems where mental health support is considered an essential part of humanitarian response. We know many organizations who help those in crisis with physical needs and resources. Our goal is to also mitigate the impact on the mental health of those surviving dire circumstances by providing free, short term psychological support to people impacted by war, natural disasters, displacement, and other crises.

Through a global network of trained Brainspotting practitioners, coordinators, interpreters, and local professionals, we help connect people experiencing extraordinary circumstances with trauma-informed care and mental health first aid. Brainspotting Help is primarily volunteer run.

We are not a replacement for ongoing therapy. Rather, we help people stabilize, process what they have experienced, and find their footing when their world has been turned upside down.

⬇️ Watch our video below to learn how Brainspotting Help works.

Then please help us spread the word by sharing this video, refering someone who needs support, volunteering, or making a donation to help us provide necessary care.

At this time, we are most in need of donations to pay for interpreters to translate sessions. This has increased dramatically with the influx of service requests we have received this year given the multiple crises people across the world are facing. Almost 80% of our clients do not speak English.

Even a small amount helps!

There’s something really powerful that happens when a group of people begin to practice trust instead of fear.

This weekend we learned to trust the process, the body, the relationship and that we don’t have to have all the answers before we begin. 

During this Brainspotting training, we focused not just on learning a technique but also to  slow down, stay curious, and notice what happens when we create enough safety for the body to lead.

Grateful for these beings who show up willing to learn, feel, practice, and grow together! 

To our assistants—Erin Arnst, Kim Warner-Hudy, Kryss Castle, Renee Sanguinetti, Katie Dyer, Vanya Garadbedian, Newzaira Khan, Tommy Chambers, and Bethany Holton. Thank you so much for the support you offered this container.

Congraulations!

Healing asks us to look beyond symptoms and techniques and toward the whole human story.

In this powerful talk, Mariya Javed-Payne shares her journey through identity, addiction, recovery, cultural dislocation, and the courageous return to herself. Together, we explore Brainspotting, somatic healing, attunement, the nervous system, and what becomes possible when science, spirituality, and cultural consciousness meet.

This is an invitation to honor the body, the unseen, and the full humanity of every person seeking healing.

What a reunion this was for Brainspotting Phase 2 training!

We had so many new and returning faces back to advance their Brainspotting practice. This Phase 2 was a large group, but their spectacular presence was monumental—so much cooperation, community, unlearning, really stepping into comfortability with the WAIT, and deconditioning ourselves from cultural programming. Thank you to the demos who showed so much courage and bravery and to all the questions folks asked that enriched the learning environment.

We loved this group’s energy, and it was held so beautifully with the help of our amazing assistants: Erin Arnst, Dan VerBout, Jimmy Tunstall, Kim Warner-Hudy, Aimee Solis, Cori Hildebrandt, Nayda Lamberty, Erin Provost, Mercedes Samudio, Michelle Dyett-Welcome, Julie Burke, and Bertha Ramos. You all are truly the best!

I have the great pleasure of announcing that these passionate and dedicated CITs are ready to take on consultees as part of their CIT program! If you've been ready to walk your certification journey, I encourage you to reach out to them!

Together, we've been studying the depth work that is Brainspotting for the last 8 months (a few more to go) and I could not be more proud of this group and their commitment to Brainspotting.

This was a cozy and intimate training group with big medicine!

Together we learned that Brainspotting asks us to slow down and follow the body, not our theories about the body. These clinicians were willing to be beginners again, trusting in uncertainty, to be in service of their clients.

So grateful for our small but mighty team—Erin Arnst, Ellie Lucas, Jimmy Tunstall, Heather Corbet, and Erin Provost. Thank you all for the amazing support you give.
