 Brainspotting & Unleash Your Voice
 
Overcoming trauma using Brainspotting
with Deborah Brown
Unleash Your Voice
with Adrienne Thomas

"Where we look affects how we feel" - said David Grand, the founder of Brainspotting. This therapeutic approach is therefore all about accessing and processing emotional and physical pain through the position of the eyes and the attunement of the therapeutic relationship. Brainspotting (BSP) uses eye positions to locate neurological patterns in body/brain linked to emotional and physical conditions, whilst tracking sensations in the body. It allows for deep processing of experiences and trauma that restrict or control our thoughts and behaviours, and the way we relate to ourselves and others. There is a strong focus on 'attunement', the deep listening relationship (mainly non verbal), between the therapist and client. Deborah Brown’s talk offers an introduction to this powerful yet in some ways gentle technique, and the importance of relationship, feeling bodily sensations and the client leading the sessions. There will be a practical exercise for everyone to participate in, as well as a demonstration of what to expect in a session.

Adrienne Thomas has been developing a way of working with voice and sound as a dynamic path to healing and wellbeing for over 30 years, culminating in the development of a method described in her book 'Unleash Your Voice'. This method uses a series if specially devised exercises designed to resonate sound through the seven major energy centres of the body (chakras), in a cycle which takes you on a journey through the whole body, healing the past, grounding the present and creating a better future. Unleash Your Voice is accessible to everyone whether or not they have had any experience with voice work - all it requires is yourself and your voice and a willingness to explore, experiment and have fun in a non judgemental environment. Adrienne will be giving a simple explanation of the background to the work as well as a demonstration of some of the exercises she has developed so that you can feel for yourselves the sense of relaxation, joy, wellbeing and empowerment that the work can “unleash”.
