The stories behind tattoos remind us of who we are and where we come from. They can help us process events that changed us or people who significantly impacted our lives. Talking through these memories together can be therapeutic, providing a sense of healing and community.

In this workshop we’ll use Gazespotting, Outside Window, & Inside Window Brainspotting to process the emotions, memories, and traumas that underlie the stories our tattoos tell that may otherwise be difficult to articulate. Combined with sharing our tattoo stories, this workshop provides a powerful opportunity for healing and insight into new ways we can use Brainspotting with our clients.
