Deep Brain Reorienting is receiving world wide recognition as a very effective treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and complex trauma. Many therapists who use DBR say it is as, or more effective than EMDR.

​

We are fortunate to be able to offer you an online training module with Dr Frank Corrigan. His research broadly explored the intersection between affective Neuroscience and the science of healing culminating in the development of Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR).

This new and novel psychotherapeutic approach emphasises the importance of tracking a distinctive neurophysiological sequence embedded in ‘deep brain’ systems. One of the most unique aspects of DBR as a trauma-focused therapy, is the embodiment of a natural healing process that is consonant with the evolutionary process of the developing brain and nervous system.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a very effective treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and complex trauma. Many therapists who use DBR say it is as, or more effective than EMDR.

Q&A: I am interested in this training. If Level 1 is completed, can these skills be used in client care and are DBR skills/tools taught in Level 1 training?

Yes, you will be able to start using DBR immediately with your clients after completing level one, many people who attended previous trainings, immediately put their new skills into practice with great results with complex clients, who were stuck in trauma. 

It is recommended that you must complete the first level before you advance to the next level.

To be fully DBR certified you need to complete all 3 levels.

An inspiring testimonial from our attendee below:

​

The effectiveness of Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is truly transformative and life changing not only for the client’s I have worked with, but also for the development of my own practice as a counsellor working with clients who present with complex trauma.

I am a registered counsellor working for the past nine years in an NGO, and my practice has developed over the years with a specific interest and focus on helping clients work with unresolved traumatic experiences. Attending the first New Zealand trauma conference in 2023 resulted in renewed passion in this field, and growing curiosity about learning actual techniques and interventions that are helpful. When the opportunity arose for Level 1 DBR training in 2023 with Dr Andy Harkin, I jumped at the chance. The training was highly beneficial as the knowledge and skills were able to be put into practice immediately afterwards with clients. What is unique about DBR is the body’s ability to release trauma through the body’s natural healing sequence, without the need to focus on the actual trauma memory or present-day trigger. This has been highly received by clients who are able to get to the core of their experience to start the healing process without becoming emotionally overwhelmed.

Being witness to and tracking the transformation in my clients is testament to the effectiveness of DBR. This is evidenced through not only their reported narrative, but also significant decrease to their score using the ‘Shock Induced Vigilance Scale’ to measure symptoms of PTSD. Clients are reporting that while past years of talk therapy had its value, they continued to experience high levels of anxiety (particularly social anxiety) panic attacks, depression, addiction and numerous other disorders. After 4-8 sessions of DBR, clients have reported “life changing” results with decrease in their trauma related symptoms, and a positive shift towards how they see themselves in the world. I would highly recommend training with Dr Harkin to any practitioner who is passionate about healing trauma. Thank you to Frontiers of Hope for providing this opportunity to New Zealand practitioners.
