Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
Deep Brain Reorienting Therapy (DBRT), conceptualized and developed by the innovative Frank Corrigan, offers a cutting-edge approach to understanding and healing profound emotional wounds by specifically targeting the brain's remarkable neuroplasticity.
It involves a somatic technique to heal the shock at the core of traumatic experiences. In DBR we aim to unblock the natural healing process by slowing down and identifying the brain-stem based sequence underlying the response that has been blocked. It is directive to elicit the sequence needed to process shock in the body and mind.
Who this benefits:
PTSD
CPTSD
Complex Trauma
Big Traumas (accidents, loss, death, displacement, natural disasters, assault, violent crime and sports injuries)
Attachment wounds and core emotions
Relational trauma
Dissociative Identity Disorder
When other therapies are overwhelming; This treats the shock that gets stuck in the body, sometimes for years if itβs traced back to childhood.
DBR focuses on specific areas of the brain, especially the brain stem, to separates out shock and horror responses, often high energy moments, from the emotional responses that come in almost immediately after.
Through a unique and carefully curated combination of mindfulness practices and cognitive restructuring techniques, DBR assists individuals in navigating their emotional landscapes and fostering a deeper, more resilient sense of self.
Deep Brain Reorienting is a transformational trauma psychotherapy, rather than a counteractive trauma therapy.
The average amount of sessions is eight to ten, depending on acuity of trauma.
