BIPOC Brainspotting Phase 1 Training October 4-6, 2024 on Zoom

"Tracy, Tracy, Tracy...the woman who changed my life from the back of the Conference room after seeing me struggle with the acceptance/acknowledgement of race and color coming from my heritage of Black (slave), White (Spanish), and Indigenous people of the conquered Island. When you said Ase sister! I see you! I see all of you! You are the people you came from and they are you! Embrace them! Embrace all they gave you and come into your fullness!" Nikki M

I am Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, MDiv, LPC, Certified Brainspotting Practitioner/Consultant/Trainer. When I started the Brainspotting journey, POC (persons of color) or BIPOC (Black Indigenous Persons of Color) did not exist. (BIPOC Brainspotting trainings started December 20219 in Atlanta, GA). I was introduced to Brainspotting by a former supervisor, in 2013 or there about. I was an associate licensed professional counselor working towards full licensure. While in supervision, my supervisor stated, "I know your tribe, but you will have to wait until you are fully licensed to afford it." She began to teach me Brainspotting technique. Some years later, while preparing for private practice, I consulted with my former supervisor and asked, "EMDR or Brainspotting?" At which she replied, "Brainspotting all the way!" Needless to say, here I am.

I am a midwife to the Brainspotting Persons of Color community and the 1st Black Female Brainspotting Trainer in the world. During the unrest in our nation 2020, I gave birth to the specialty training, Brainspotting: Intersectionality & Social Justice, an inclusive training, to share my passion around equity, inclusion, and what it means to honor all according to self identification and social location. This is the age of healing and our clients deserve treatment modalities that activate healing. Brainspotting is waging war on generational, developmental, and personal traumas in a communal way.

You are invited! The only way to learn Brainspotting is thru experience. Our BIPOC spaces are known to be sacred, supportive and attuned to the experience of marginalized identifying persons of color. MENA welcomed! A special thanks to my mentor and friend, Dr. David Grand for being open and called to this work and graciously sharing the Brainspotting power-tool with all us healers on the battlefield of trauma.

This training is open to all Addiction Counselors | Professional Counselors | Social Workers | Psychologists | Marriage and Family Therapists | Psychiatrists | Nurse Practitioners | Occupational Therapists | Executive/Life Coaches | Naturopaths | Acupuncturists| Birth-Workers
