“Peak Experiences and Transpersonal/Spiritual Experiences with EMDR and Brainspotting”
EMDR and brainspotting sessions often move from exploring issues, blocks, and patterns of tension into spontaneous experiences of intuition, resolution and creativity. These are transcendent, spiritual experiences that transform the meaning of suffering.
- Damaris Methner, PhD will discuss the cycle and valence of a session and talk about the superconscious which is the transformative, creative, intuitive realm. She will discuss therapeutic and ethical considerations regarding this realm of work.
- Melanie K. Young, PhD will present a case that demonstrates how clients can “get in touch with spirit” and how this enabled her client to tolerate deeper trauma work.
- Christine Hibbard, PhD will present a case of an individual experiencing “boundaries dissolving” and reaching a state of clearness and awareness. She will discuss grounding and application of the experience to the initial concern the client presented with and its bearing on the client’s daily life.
