How to Get Ready for Your Online BrainSpotting Session

To help you get ready for a virtual brainspotting session, I’d like to ask you to gather a few items:

• Your phone and a computer/tablet (decent size screen). Use two devices, as one will be for the video conference session and one for playing music. If this is not possible, that’s okay, Brainspotting will still work! We can even do it over the phone if there are technical difficulties.

• A pair of headphones or earbuds connected to your phone or tablet. This is for listening to music so it needs to be connected in a way where you can still hear the videoconference as well as your music. 

• A scarf that you can easily tie, a beanie, a type of winter hat, an eye patch or glasses and some fabric that you can use to cover one eye. The material should feel comfortable on your skin. This is so that you can cover one eye for some set-ups. 

• A baking spatula, big spoon, or something similar to a pointer. This is so that if we have two gaze spots, you can hold one on your side and I can hold one on mine. 

• Bilateral/biolateral sounds readily available on your phone. Here are a couple options for bilateral/biolateral sounds:

  • 1. 1. Download from GoogleDrive Folder to Your Device

       2. Spotify Biolateral Sounds

       3. Ocean Sounds

       4. Guitar Sounds 

       5. 90 minute Seaside

If you have access to two devices, see if you can play the sounds on your phone and connect your headphones to that. Make sure you have spotify, youtube, or soundcloud without ads as we don’t want them interrupting our session. Check if you would be able to still hear me on your computer or tablet with the sounds playing on your phone. We can play around with this when we get started to make sure we have a setup where you can both hear the sounds and hear me talking. Feel free to preview the music and find one you are comfortable with. I tend to listen to one on repeat during my session as I find the constant changes of music distracting. However, sometimes I listen to all the tracks as I find they push me to process differently. We can play around with what works best for you. 

When you’re getting ready, make sure you have a comfortable seat in a space with comfortable lighting. If you can place your computer or laptop on something stable so you don’t have to hold it or have the computer shift, that will allow you to focus on your session. If you would like to have other objects that help you to ground, please feel free to bring those to our session. Lastly, please know that we will be exploring and talking about what works best for you.

There’s no right or wrong here. We absolutely cannot mess this up.

How TO BE in Your Online BrainSpotting Session

• You do not have to try to DO anything but pay attention. Notice. Be open. Be curious. Your deep inner brain knows exactly what to do.

• I may ask you on a scale of 0 to 10 how activated you feel by your issue you are focused on or the emotions you are feeling, 10 being the highest and 0 being not at all. 

• Allow yourself to feel emotions and various sensations in your body. Do not try, there is only BE. What comes up is what comes up.

• You do not have to try to analyze the problem or what you’re experiencing. We want deep sub-cortical processing and that often means we aren't in our executive functioning parts.

• You may talk as much as you want, or as little as you want.

• I may ask you, “Where are you now?” or “What are you noticing now in your body?” This is referring to where you may be in your thoughts or what sensations/feelings you may be experiencing. You don’t have to answer me if you don’t feel like it. 

• Silence is OKAY and helps to facilitate deeper processing. You can talk or not talk, whatever you do will be right.

• You may have waves of feeling uncomfortable sensations and emotions and waves of feeling more calm. 

• Paying attention to the process is all you need to do to let your brain/body heal.

• It can be common to feel twitches, muscle tension/relaxation, or changes in breathing during the session. This is part of the nervous system accessing and healing trauma.

• I may ask you to wear headphones during your session for biolateral stimulation. This is where the sounds you hear moves back and forth from your right ear to your left ear. This helps integration and to stay in your deep inner brain while processing and reprocessing. 

• TRUST the process and allow your brain to heal and unwire unhealthy connections. 

• You may ask for anything you need during the session. I am here for you.

What to Do AFTER Your Online BrainSpotting Session

• Drink plenty of water with electrolytes and get plenty of rest. You did a lot of work reprocessing. 

• Because you have reprocessed, you may experience stronger feelings and thoughts. These may be very positive or very negative. Notice the thoughts and feelings and work with them as they come up. Call Elizabeth or your mental health care practitioner for an appointment if you need further help. Call 911 if you are having a mental health emergency. 

• Keep regular weekly appointments until you have reprocessed issues satisfactorily. It’s extremely important to move forward in your own self-healing with regular therapy until you feel complete.

• Gaze Spot as Self-healing: You can find resource and expansion spots (good feeling spots) on your own.  Close your eyes. Think about and bring up a good thought/feeling. Notice where that feeling/thought is in your body. Focus on that good feeling/thought and open your eyes. Your eyes will naturally move to a gaze-spot to help you enhance that good feeling. Stay mindfully focused on the spot and notice any shifts in your body and well-being. Stay on the spot until you feel complete. I do not recommend that you do this on your own for intense/scary thoughts or feelings. Leave that for your BrainSpotting sessions with me. 

• Give yourself grace and be kind to yourself. You are healing. I’m here to help and you have others to help you as well. Go out in nature. Hug a tree. Drink a cuppa. Laugh with a friend. Take a rest. You got this!
