A Brainspotting Masterclass for Clinicians
Thursday, May 21, 2026 @ 11 am MT | 1 pm ET
Learn why trauma lives beneath what’s spoken—and how clinicians can access and work with it in real time.
What if you could directly access your client's lived experience?
Most trainings teach us what to do. Rarely do we get to witness how healing actually happens.
When working with trauma, there are often moments where something important is happening just beneath the surface—but isn’t fully accessible.
You might notice subtle shifts in your client: a change in their gaze, a tightening in the body, a moment where their words lose coherence or trail off. You can sense there’s more there—something active in their system—but it’s difficult to access directly, or to know how to work with it without interrupting the process itself.
This is where much of trauma remains: not in the narrative, but in the underlying patterns of the nervous system.
Brainspotting offers a way to work precisely at this level.
By using eye position as an access point, and combining it with attunement and focused presence, Brainspotting allows clinicians to locate and remain in contact with the areas where activation, memory, and processing are already unfolding.
What emerges isn’t something you have to interpret or construct—it’s something the client’s system begins to reveal when it’s given the right conditions.
This is what makes the approach both structured and non-prescriptive.
Even the most subtle, unprocessed trauma can be accessed and begin to resolve when we follow the body’s signals in real time.
In this free Masterclass, Dr. David Grand—the creator of the Brainspotting method—will introduce his framework for tracking somatic and neurological cues in real time, while allowing the process itself to unfold without forcing direction or interpretation.
Rather than deciding what should happen next, you’ll learn how to recognize where the work is already happening. By following subtle shifts in the body and nervous system, you can begin to stay with what is actively emerging, instead of moving too quickly into analysis or intervention.
This approach allows you to support the process with greater precision and confidence—working directly with what the client’s system is already revealing, and allowing meaningful change to develop from within.
Discover how to access and work with what’s already unfolding beneath the surface of your clients’ experience.
In This FREE, 90-Minute Live Masterclass, You’ll Learn...
In this live training, Dr. Grand shares his revolutionary approach to working trauma held in the body…
1
How Brainspotting accesses trauma held beneath conscious awareness
Including the role of eye position in revealing subcortical processing, and how this creates a direct entry point into unresolved material that isn’t accessible through narrative alone.
2
What to look for as trauma begins to surface and process in real time
The subtle somatic and neurological cues—shifts in gaze, body, and presence—that signal activation, deep processing, and how to follow the clients natural processing toward resolution.
3
How to work with what emerges, without forcing or directing the process
A non-prescriptive framework for staying attuned to your client’s system, supporting what’s already unfolding while maintaining clarity and clinical direction.
4
A live demonstration with Dr. Grand, the creator of the Brainspotting method
Observe how trauma processing unfolds in real time, and learn to recognize the key moments of activation, attunement, and resolution as they happen.
You’ll get a grounded, experiential introduction to Brainspotting—designed to be observed, understood, and felt in real time.

Who Should Join Us?
In this all-new, live, and experiential masterclass, Dr. David Grand introduces Brainspotting—showing how eye position, attunement, and focused presence can access and support trauma processing at a deeper, subcortical level.
-
Trauma clinicians and mental health professionals
You’re working with complex trauma, attachment patterns, or clients who don’t fully respond to insight-based approaches, and you’re looking for a way to access and work with what’s happening beneath the surface, with greater precision and confidence.
-
Somatic and body-based practitioners
You already track the body and nervous system in your work, and want a clearer framework for recognizing where deeper processing is occurring, and how to support it without overriding the client’s natural process.
-
Coaches and personal consultants
You support clients through stuck patterns, reactivity, or recurring challenges, and want to better understand how underlying nervous system processes shape these experiences, and how to work with them more directly.
-
Clinicians trained primarily in cognitive or insight-based models
You’re curious about how this approach works in practice, what to look for, how it’s applied in real time, and whether it fits within your existing way of working.
What therapists say about Brainspotting…
“Brainspotting has transformed the way I work with most of my clients.
It has changed my views about talking therapies and accessing inner processes without the need for a lot of dialogue.”
––Sarah
“Before I began learning about Brainspotting, I felt entrenched in the medical model. I was trying to free myself from the constraints of linear thinking about therapy.
Now I have a framework to deeply attune, to be with uncertainty and constant evidence of the healing process of Brainspotting.
I was not expecting the fulfillment from this radical change nor was I expecting my own healing.”
––Clare
“Brainspotting has enabled me to help so many clients with differing issues.
It truly is a fantastic tool to have in your toolbox. Brainspotting enables me to really start the healing process, freeing clients of trapped emotions and helping them start to process their traumas.
It is an integral part of the therapy I undertake and I absolutely love this modality!”
––Victoria
“I learned to trust the healing power of the human brain…
… and it helped me develop a new layer of presence that is so essential in trauma work.”
––Philip
