It was an honor and a pleasure to present at the ISSTD conference in Frisco, Texas, USA, on March 25th.

My focus was upon how the principles of Brainspotting can enhance the healing and dignity of our vulnerable folks who have dissociative identity phenomena.

I use my 6F model of autonomic mammalian survival responses for understanding DIP and for navigating limbic countertransference.

A special joy was meeting up with special Brainspotting folks and making new friends!

Dr. Pie Frey, BSP Trainer, regarding BlindSpotting©:
“I am thankful to Connie for developing and teaching the BlindSpotting© training, which was life changing for me. Although I was aware of my health concerns, working with my blind spot really helped me to see that I need to actively engage in and take responsibility for my ongoing health and medical procedures.”
