Deep Brain Reorienting – What is DBR?
• DBR aims to get to the origin of the body’s response to an
adverse event.
• This means going below the level of the overt learning that has
occurred and using knowledge of brainstem processes to identify
how the body responded – often outside awareness.
• This allows us to identify shock responses that happened so fast
that they went unrecognised at the time – but have left their
mark.
