When Trauma Persists in the Deepest Parts of the Brain – Here’s How You Can Treat It

iceberg in brain shapeiceberg in brain shapeSome clients have symptoms that don’t shift — even with excellent trauma work.
 
Chronic tension, hypervigilance, sudden fear responses . . .
 
These often stem from something deeper: the brainstem’s initial shock response.
 
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) was built on this neuroscience.

By working with the brain’s orienting reflex and tracking the moment danger is first perceived, DBR offers a structured way to reach trauma at its physiological root.
 
And in this course, Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD, and Frank Corrigan, MD will break down the neuroanatomy behind DBR and demonstrate how the sequence helps clients process trauma safely and without overwhelm.

Deep Brain Reorienting for Healing Trauma

In this workshop, Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD, and Frank Corrigan, MD (the developer of DBR) will share how Deep Brain Reorienting can help clients process the initial “shock” of trauma without becoming overwhelmed.

Not only that, but you’ll get to see DBR in action as Ruth and Frank lead a demonstration.

Here’s what else you’ll get:

  • The brain imaging discovery that explains why trauma keeps people stuck in the past — and how DBR can reverse it
  • The neurophysiological sequence at the root of every trauma response — and why most treatments start one step too late
  • The overlooked sensory system that trauma disrupts first — and why restoring it may be the true first step in any trauma treatment
  • Why unprocessed shock — not unprocessed emotion — may be the source of your clients’ nightmares, hypervigilance, and unexplained physical symptoms
  • The step-by-step DBR sequence — from activating stimulus to orienting tension to shock processing to raw effect – demonstrated with an actual client
  • Who is and isn’t a good candidate for DBR — including the readiness markers experienced clinicians use before beginning
  • How DBR fits alongside (but doesn’t mix with) other trauma modalities, including EMDR

Starting Today, This Program Can Change the Way You Practice

. . . It seems more intuitive and deeper than EMDR and cognitive processing for trauma . . .

Very glad I signed up for this course. It’s a fascinating modality which seems more intuitive and seems to me deeper than EMDR and cognitive processing for trauma. I look forward to learning more about deep brain reorienting and I think the concepts will help me help my clients better. The live demo was helpful in learning the modality and was an emotionally moving experience to behold.

Clark Rector, PsyD

Incredible course . . . the demonstration was particularly useful.

This was an incredible course. I was completely engaged and would like more courses like this. The demonstration was particularly useful.

Suzanne M. Retzinger, PhD, LMFT

. . . remarkable clarity and a good foundation for opportunities for future treatments.

  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
