174 Brainspotting Basics For Therapists
Episode 174
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
Most therapists are not stuck because they lack insight. They are stuck because insight alone does not create change. In this special replay of a live training with Carolyn Robistow, we unpack Brainspotting basics and explore a bigger question many clinicians are asking right now: how can additional training increase your value without increasing your workload?This conversation is not just about a modality. It is about embodied knowing. The kind of shift that happens in the nervous system first, and shows up later as clarity, relief, or behavior change. Carolyn explains why the goal of Brainspotting is not symptom reduction, not understanding, and not a better reframe. Those may happen, but they are not the target. The target is deeper integration.We also talk about what changes for the therapist. Brainspotting requires a different kind of discipline. Less explaining. Less rescuing. More attunement. More patience. More trust in the client’s system to do what it already knows how to do.In this episode, we cover:Why insight does not automatically create change, and what “embodied knowing” actually means in clinical practiceThe three skills clients are practicing during Brainspotting: noticing, observing without managing, and staying curiousThe practitioner shift, including WAIT, why am I talking?, and how the dual attunement frame protects the processHow specialized training like Brainspotting can support sustainability by reducing overfunctioning instead of adding more to your plateIf you have been wondering whether advanced training could be part of a smarter income strategy, this episode will help you think about it in an ethical, grounded way. Not as a quick fix. Not as a shiny tool. But as a way to deepen your clinical impact without burning yourself out.Want to learn more about brainspotting?
