Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) therapy, online

In the words of deepbrainreorienting.com, "Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)® is a trauma psychotherapy" that "aims to access and process traumatic experience by tracking the original sequence of physiological responses."

Part of that sequence is shock. DBR's own explanation puts it this way: "This shock response is called preaffective in DBR because it happens before the affective and defensive responses." In other words, before the fear, the anger or the shutting down, there's the moment of being hit. That's where DBR starts. You can read more about the thinking behind it on DBR's hypothetical basis page.

DBR describes itself as especially relevant "for cases that include early attachment traumas such as those that underlie dissociative disorders." If you're a complex trauma survivor who feels stuck, even after years of therapy, or a therapist who knows the theory but still gets knocked sideways, DBR is one more door we can try.

I'm an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, IFS trained, and Level 2 trained in Deep Brain Reorienting. We can use EMDR therapy, DBR, parts work, or a mix of them. This process is about you, so we'll find the fit together.

Like everything I do, DBR happens by video. You're in your own space, and I'm right there on the screen with you. Curious? Get in touch. I can't wait to hear from you! Fees and superbills are on Services and Fees.
