The Brainspotting Group Therapy Curriculum: A Twelve-Session Clinician's Manual for Trauma-Focused Group Practice

What This Manual ProvidesThe 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 ModelWhat distinguishes this curriculum is the Group Attunement Model: a clinical framework built specifically for the group room.

No comparable published framework for Brainspotting group therapy currently exists. Read more
