I frequently work with several highly experienced Brainspotting CoTrainers in the workshops I present. Working with Brainspotting CoTrainers gives you multiple perspectives, breaks up the presentations to keep things interesting, and allows you a greater opportunity to work directly with some of the most experienced Brainspotting therapists in the industry.
Current adult learning theory backs up the use of multiple trainers. Multiple trainers relieve the fatigue that can come with otherwise long training days. Our Brainspotting CoTrainers will also help by presenting material in varying styles allowing different attendees to experience the material in their own learning style.
The best part about working with these remarkable people, however, is that we all get to have more fun!
"Thank you so much, Christine! That was the BEST professinoal training I've ever attended. I was so impressed with you and Pie, with Brainspotting in general, and also with your ability to make this so powerful over zoom!!"
