The Brainspotting Group Therapy Curriculum: A Twelve-Session Clinician's Manual for Trauma-Focused Group Practice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764742580)

What This Manual Provides

The Brainspotting Group Therapy Curriculum presents a complete twelve-session, three-phase clinical program for trauma-focused group work using Brainspotting as the primary therapeutic approach. Across fourteen chapters organized into five parts, the manual covers foundational clinical concepts, phase-by-phase session structures, crisis management, an IFS integration protocol, billing and documentation guidance, outcome measurement, and curriculum adaptation for IOP, PHP, residential, and private practice settings. Every chapter includes session maps, facilitator guidance, composite clinical case illustrations, and review questions to support staff training and ongoing supervision.

The Group Attunement Model

What distinguishes this curriculum is the Group Attunement Model: a clinical framework built specifically for the group room. Individual Brainspotting relies on sustained dual attunement between one therapist and one client. A group setting requires something structurally different. The Group Attunement Model introduces the Attunement Sweep, Distributed Regulation, and the Facilitated Witness Protocol to maintain the co-regulatory field that makes group processing clinically sound and safe. No comparable published framework for Brainspotting group therapy currently exists.
