"Brainspotting in the Hood: Making Neuroscience Accessible"

Brainspotting isn’t just for private practice or clinical jargon—it belongs in the barbershop, the community clinic, the classroom, community associations, ancient healing circles, on the corner, on the catamaran, the veranda during the storm, the living room, under the tree, and the hood. Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic tool—but unlike many modalities rooted in Western clinical systems, it was designed with indigenous communities in mind, given it’s inherent nature towards the dual attunement frame, relational & neurobiological. And, the uncertainty principle.

In this episode, Tracy Gantlin-Monroy breaks down how Brainspotting honors the language of the people, culture, and brought to the people it was designed to reach; all people—and, absolutely must serve. Drawing from her lived experience as a clinician, trainer, and cultural translator, Tracy reframes neuroscience as a tool for liberation, not elitism.

This is a conversation about access, embodiment, and reclaiming the nervous system’s power—right where people live.
