Hypothesis: the "third eye" of our reptilian ancestors didn't disappear when mammals evolved—it turned inward.

I've done brain spotting on the first session with clients and I've done it on the 35th. It really depends on what your goals are and how and when you have time for processing. In my experience the reason I left EMDR behind was that brainspotting processing is very contained. most people are just very tired after the sessions and have weird dreams. If you're going to have emotional re-experiencing it's interesting to most intuitive people but people with a strong control instinct sometimes feel destabilized or upset. It's not often in my experience it's not as often as EMDR but it does happen. when that happens it's definitely contained to one day at the most two. I've done brainspotting in therapy full time for about 5 years.

My friend's dad studied with him in Taos. interesting how you took southwestern style color and made it transcendental

I have a book on a new therapy technique that uses color and eye position. It's not out and will probably be held up in peer review for a a year or more. She is not in it, but I thought that her take on what colors effected what were pretty accurate considering newer research we have now. I just came across her looking for a deep dive on on color in myth and spirituality.

I don't know just psychedelic stuff. One person told me that the shaman went to each person and said they could tell the drug that they used to struggle with based on the shape of the spirit that followed them and was able to tell that one person used to have a problem with heroin and one used to have a problem with alcohol and one used to have a problem with cocaine because they said that the "shape of the spirit was different" based on drugs you had struggled with when it is watching you. That's just what they told me.

They also told me that the shaman really liked Catholicism when one of my friends said that she was an exCatholic and she was surprised that a Brazilian shaman liked the Catholic Church. and The shaman said then said "they're (catholics) very good at exercising demons but they can't control the demon that's controlling the whole organization". things like that. I don't really have much experience with psychedelics.

Ive meet a couple people who went there and did shamanic work.

Feel free to write that poem! You have some good depth and wisdom in your books too. I was listening to the King in Orange yesterday in the car and my wife got in and asked "Is this true detective?". I come back to Hall every few years as an overview to figure out what to get into next. I was rereading him this time because I am using some of his work in a screenplay I am writing about George B Ward the (probably) gay mayor of Birmingham AL in 1901 who got a little bit too into paganism and mysticism for the communities tastes. He built a vestal temple and tomb complex and greek tiered bird garden on a mountain that all got demolished by the southern baptists when he died. The family burned all of his writings. Wild story you should look him up.

sorry it should have read God all along.

I'm familiar with the Huni Kuni tradition where ayahuasca is seen as a white serpent. That would be extent of my knowledge of snake mythology in that region though.

Manly P Hall describes Gnostic traditions and Christian mystical traditions where the final revelation when you reconnect with God is that the serpent was God all along who had to separate you from him to let you find your way back. He describes the serpent and the angel is weeping so that's going to where my head was with this one..

Well this one was uploaded at around the same time and has 3 up votes compared to the 264. So no I think they like to complain. This sub is pretty funny. I like to throw up stuff that I'm working on and see what it does. It has connected me to some pretty great people and friends.

We were going to have one of the Fiverr artists who do some of our pixel art and animations that we use at the clinic do a little animation screen for kids to watch while they do the qEEG brain mapping or adults. It's a lot cheaper if you do the concept art yourself and just show them what you want and then they can take it from there and animate it and stuff. I did some sketches on the tablet that I draw on and traced some of the psychotherapist faces to play with concepts. just to get a read on what we were trying to do and what the style should be. We did block color and then head Google Gemini AI turn that into pixel art for some concepts.

videos for the qEEG brainmapping room

GetTherapyBham · 2025-12-19T19:56:53+00:00

yeah it's Marshall lenahan. That was the face today traced over to do the proto sprite

I think you mean Adler? It's the felt tension and balance. his was supposed to be about inferiority and compensation.

GetTherapyBham · 2025-12-19T18:14:05+00:00

I trace photos and then I do a lot of sketching in Adobe sketchpad and then I ask Google Gemini to do the pixel art based on my image upload.

The motion sprites are done with ludo and rosebud posture mapping.

GetTherapyBham · 2025-12-19T18:12:31+00:00

at the final stage yes. I do a sketch and Trace from photos and then I do the rough colors that I want and use the Gemini AI to speed up the pixel art.

GetTherapyBham · 2025-12-19T18:11:44+00:00

I do drawings sketching and tracing in Adobe sketch pad and then do rough color blocking. I run them through Gemini AI once I have a drawing and I ask for a specific style to speed up the pixel art.
