SPEAKER: Rosario Ortigao, LMHC


TOPIC: Brainspotting


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. Become familiar with David Grant’s Brainspotting Treatment Approach     
  2. Understand its neurophysiological nature vs traditional talk therapy 

Brainspotting uses the neuroscience finding that where you look affects how you feel. Clients are helped to find a “spot” that increases the “felt sense” of an experience (or a spot that reduces over-arousal) and to process those sensations with a dual focus on the spot and body sensations. After arousing/processing sensations are tied to an event a few times, clients discover new ways to view them. Rosario Ortigao’s presentation will incorporate a power point, two short videos and a brief demonstration to inform, discuss and observe a cutting-edge yet natural, gentle and profound treatment approach.


Rosario Ortigao graduated with a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College in 1987. She is a certified EMDR therapist and utilizes other power therapies such as Brainspotting (BSP), PBSP, EFT and hypnosis. Her BSP training was in 2013-15 and Rosario compares it to an art form that opens the doors to neurogenesis. Rosario was born and raised in Portugal, where she earned a degree in Germanic Philology from the University of Lisbon. Rosario has worked and studied in London and Israel and moved to the United States in 1981. She is fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French, has studied Italian, German and Hebrew and is currently studying ASL. She is passionate about physical, mental and spiritual health and invites you to join her in her weekly qigong practices.
