DRCC at UVM April 11, 2019.

Brainspotting with Katherine Allen, LMFT Posted on by

I have been accepted as a presenter in this year’s Dismantling Rape Culture Conference at the University of Vermont on April 11, 2019.

I am proud to be a part of the healing aspect of the Conference for those impacted by sexual assaults and violence, introducing Brainspotting trauma healing therapy and educating how the brain receives and responds to threat and trauma. Brainspotting is uniquely suited to assist both the recipients of such assaults in their healing, and equally to assist the front-line caregivers in processing their limbic counter-transference in witnessing with such stories.

Please join me this April 11 at the 14th Annual DRCC at UVM! Bring colleagues and anyone whom may benefit from learning how to heal from these kinds of assaults. Registration opens on March 1, 2019.

We Did It! Introducing the “Mighty Hanover 9”

The Mighty Hanover Nine!

The Mighty Hanover Nine!

We have officially completed New Hampshire’s first ever Brainspotting Phase 1 Training. We were graced with 9 attendees, all more lovely and talented than the next. So now our Upper Valley Brainspotting community has grown – from one (me) – to 13!

What an amazing, huge, healing 3 days. What these photos don’t show is the network of support that made it all possible. Thanks to Center for Integrative Health for offering your space to us, to Oracle/Dyn for the loan of 12 of your comfy rolling armchairs, to Shauna Hill, Kimberly Knowlton-Young and Ariel Cahn-Flores for your very, very important assistance with food, business logistics, grunt work, and adding the voice of the newly trained BSP practitioner to the process. Thanks most of all to Deborah Antinori – she soldiered on even though she was in pain, after spending a lovely 4.5 hours checking out the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital Emergency department.

I am grateful to have had my first co-trainer experience as well. I am ready for more!

Personally, the most impressive piece is Deb’s dedication not only to her commitments, to herself, to Brainspotting, to me, but to the Upper Valley and specifically to my new collegial group of truly talented and amazing therapists. I feel so privileged to be a part of this healing community and am humbled by your wisdom and depth.

If you are looking for Brainspotting sessions in the Upper Valley, in addition to those listed above, this is the list of the latest set of qualified therapists: Miriam R. Osofsky, Ph.D. in Lebanon, NH; Mary E. Young, LMHC in Hardwick, VT; Beth Demers, LMFT in WRJ, VT; Carla D. Hancock, LICSW in Montpelier, VT; Courtney L.
