Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a trauma-focused therapy that works with the body’s earliest responses to shock and threat. Rather than focusing on detailed memories or retelling painful experiences, DBR gently supports the nervous system in processing what happened at a very foundational level.
When something overwhelming occurs, the brain and body often react before we can think, speak, or make sense of what’s happening. These early survival responses — orienting, bracing, freezing — can remain unfinished, leaving the nervous system stuck in patterns of alarm, shutdown, or hypervigilance.
DBR helps bring careful attention to these early bodily signals, allowing the nervous system to complete what was interrupted. This can lead to a natural settling of threat responses, often without needing to relive the trauma or go into extensive narrative detail.
