we all have parts. par-tchetypes.

huh? I still work there

Jung did a really good job being able to distinguish between the cultural and the truly universal perennial layer of symbol and philosophy. other Jungians not so much. This book does a good job.

@GetTherapyBirmingham I am extremely grateful to you for this precious information. Blessings on You and Your Enlightening endeavor & practice! ❤️ 💐

thanks.

thank you for the feedback but on a re-listen I don't really hear opinions I'm asking about ideas. I kind of a poor the opinion debate channels and I also don't like the interview channels for someone just says the same thing 50 times. I try and absorb all of someone's material and pose them perspectives that they haven't heard before to make their perspective more nuanced and appeared to different audiences. sometimes I win sometimes I lose. I tried my best. I'll try to do better next time. I might start calling them conversations though to prevent this kind of comment.

Yes on the CC. Basically that. A lot of philosophy, ritual, symbolism, metaphor is us playing with object relations in a way that can effect the brain's reference points to create a spicier cognition. We are trying to point OUT of our constricted understanding by making the brain refect the way it concieves of the inner and outerworld against itself to make kaledescopes. I wouldnt know as much as someone like McGilgrist. Your second points. I'm not sure. I think that there are huge sections of "start and stop codones" built into turn off and turn on whole elements of how we think that are activated culturally and maybe epigenetically. The brain has multiple self balancing mechanisms and wants to fix itself when it breaks and compensate for culture and crisis internally to be flexible enough to survive. That is one way to think of why mechanisms to handle historically primitive crises are being activated to handle modern elements that therough the brain into crisis. Obviouslly a lot more could be said about that...

thank you for your kind words. they'll always be citations and more granular detail in the articles too gettherapybirmingham.com/collective-trauma-ritual-and-animism-integrating-the-emotional-and-preconscious-mind/

Sadly no, I looked for it for 3 hours. The original source was from something that I did 7 years ago and it was a government study looks like a meta analysis of some sort that was cited in a PowerPoint on schizophrenia that I used to train people in the hospital. I think it was somebody going through lots of government records of different facilities and making through lines and the psychotic episodes that were most common for each era and it looks like it was put together in the '90s. I would love it if you ever came across it and may not be online anymore. I actually had the whole thing printed one point at UAB and I almost called them to ask if they ever saw something like that there but I'm sure it's long long gone.

Dang! Well, either way, I think it speaks volumes of the relationship between psychosis and the collective culture/environment the individuals experiencing such phenomena are apart of. Very fascinating! Thank you for sharing your insights

@jpl0321 makes a ton of sense to me but those kind of studies go out of fashion because people are so hell-bent on qualitative research and you have to have a subjective interpretation of the data to do studies that are interesting and effective and helpful. psychology academia is losing interest In doing or being any of those things.

oh I forgot to say that I always list my sources at the end of each article in the article version of the podcast so that's here. gettherapybirmingham.com/collective-trauma-ritual-and-animism-integrating-the-emotional-and-preconscious-mind/

@@GetTherapyBirminghamthank you!

this is years ago we have a podcast and blog resource library now. check it out: gettherapybirmingham.podbean.com/

If it's the Birmingham show I'll be there.

@@GetTherapyBirmingham actually it's the Rochester show, third night of the tour. I've never seen Califone and they're probably my favorite band, if such things can be quantified, and have loved Rutili since I bought RRM, Jimmywine Majestic, on cassette, in the mall, sometime in the late 90s.

@woden22 they're pretty great and they have some of my favorite lyrics and fusion of music and such a gnostic way.

@@GetTherapyBirmingham Gnostic!? Yes, I love it.

You should look up emotional transformation therapy. It works very well with brainspotting

most BSP trainings now include parts work because so many people do it.

@@GetTherapyBirmingham thank you so much.

Thank you kindly!

It definitely wasn't my best interview. I had my technology break after a night of no sleep and got on late in a slow moving panic attack. You live you learn.

no but that's how you get there. I think that you can't separate anthropology and philosophy from psychology and this is something that is so obvious and inherent anyone who practices that well that you have to understand the market forces that need them to be separated as disciplines.

If you can look up brainspotting or emotional transformation therapy you'll see some really weird stuff. The QEEG tech is all over the place so not everyone's doing it well we're in an interesting way but there's some potential.

thanks. we've got a lot longer form articles on the blog at GetTherapyBirmingham.com

I'm a therapist and don't do any kind of surgery. I run a cost sharing collective that uses a sliding scale. We interviewed Dr Lynch because he was one of the pioneers of the procedure in knows a lot about it but you can usually find a SGB at a pain clinic for around 300 to $500. demand Medicaid for all.

I think one of the biggest issues with it is we don't provide informed consent which kind of sells the process. It's going to dig these things up. providers need to tell you that you're going to go through things for two or three days sometimes usually just 5 to 6 hours. We have a process that we do which combines elements of brainspotting with emotional transformation therapy and some other things. It's unique to my practice right now but a couple of international practitioners are adopting it. It seems to be more gentle and a little bit more surgical than brand spotting but in certain cases more slow.

That's a pretty similar experience to what it felt like for me. completely overwhelming negative emotions that I was used to being able to avoid You go all the way through and then heal.

thank you so much. We have many more resources on our podcast and website for brainspotting another trauma therapies if you're interested.

@@GetTherapyBirmingham I know some people who began with EMDR and weren´t satisfyed, and when they knew Brainspotting, they liked it very much

That's been my experience but it doesn't seem to work the other way around. I would highly recommend emotional transformation therapy as a jumping-off point from brainspotting on to the next thing. It uses color, light direction against the pupil, and flicker rates in order to make really profound effects. We do a fusion of that and brainspotting now that's extremely effective.

@@GetTherapyBirmingham I´ll read the book about this. Thanks

noted thanks.

Thanks. There are a lot more on our blog and podcast.

Thanks man. Please email me we have some other protocols we are trying to get ready to be unveiled. They will always be free and available on the website but I want to keep a list of anything interested in the loop.

You might want to look at ETT. I thought, like BSP, that it would be woo woo nonsense. I am shocked how well the modalities complement each other and how few practitioners know both. Grans and Vazquez respect each others modalities but don't know them. food for thought! gettherapybirmingham.com/emotional-transformation-therapy-ett/

Glad you like them! Please email me we have some other protocols we are trying to get ready to be unveiled. They will always be free and available on the website but I want to keep a list of anything interested in the loop. You might want to look at ETT also it complements BSP so well. gettherapybirmingham.com/emotional-transformation-therapy-ett/

that depends entirely on the patient. The setups are great and as you get better at gaze spotting you need them a lot less. There are some videos on how we map trauma and generally if you're having a trouble getting a spot to open or finding one when you let the patient feel how trauma wants to affect their posture and body reactions you'll see the spots a lot clearer. that is a more common setup for us.

@@GetTherapyBirmingham I’m a therapist too but i still have less than a year of Brainspotting. Some patients will go into analytical/pre frontal cortex mode when you ask if there’s an issue they want to work on, to the point that they could explain the problem but there would be no emotional activation. I wouldn’t know what to do (lol) and would end up having to do outside window, and i might see them having a physical reaction but there would not be much emotions. At this point I’m trying to get those types of patients more worked up emotionally through conversation before we start Brainspotting. I have noticed that when their posture starts shifting and they’re getting uncomfortable talking about the issue, if i point it out, then they do drop their defenses a little bit and we can start Brainspotting from there. It seems like other patients who are less dissociative go into Brainspotting with out needing too many prompts. I’m finally going to phase 2 training next month. Your videos have been helpful as I’ve been doing some self learning in these past months after phase 1. Thank you.

phase 2 will definitely open the door for you to some new things then. You might look into ETT emotional transformation therapy as well as it pairs well with brainspotting. I definitely have some theories about what you're describing as well as some practices we've developed internally to sort and approach those patients with the fastest thing to work that is likely for their presentation. feel free to email me through our website or call sometime. get therapy Birmingham.com. also consider joining the BSP subreddit and sharing your thoughts as you progress in learning the modality. I'm not certified as a trainer or anything so I'm definitely not speaking on behalf of the brain spotting institute.
