First Responders carry trauma differently—and they need therapy that honors that.
Traditional talk therapy doesn’t always reach the body’s deep survival responses. That’s why Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) can be a game-changer. DBR works with the brainstem—where trauma is first stored—offering a powerful, body-based path to healing without having to relive the worst moments.
If you’re a First Responder (or love someone who is), this is worth a read.

First Responders need a different kind of trauma therapy—one that reaches beyond talk therapy. Learn how Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) helps heal trauma at the nervous system level.

🌙 Sleep Is a Major Health and Mental Health Issue 💤

Struggling to sleep even when you're totally exhausted? You're not alone. For many, disrupted sleep is one of the most stubborn and distressing effects of unresolved trauma—and it rarely improves with sleep hygiene tips or medication alone.

At Vancouver EMDR Therapy & Neurofeedback, we use trauma-focused therapies like EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and LENS Neurofeedback to help the nervous system finally feel safe enough to rest.

✨ Healing trauma is often the key to healing sleep.

Read our latest blog post to learn how trauma therapy can help you reclaim deep, restorative rest.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a newer, neuroscience-informed therapy approach I’ve been deeply drawn to. Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) was developed by Dr. Frank Corrigan. DBR works with the earliest imprint of our trauma experience—the part that happens before we even know we’re feeling something. It begins with the body registering a threat - milliseconds before our brain has an opportunity to develop thoughts or feelings to interpret the threat. It is a subtle, powerful, and deeply respectful therapy which honors the body’s wisdom.

We are now offering Brainspotting!!

Brainspotting leverages the natural connection between eye movement and emotional processing. During a session, the therapist uses a pointer to help clients identify brainspots—specific eye positions linked to unresolved emotions or memories. Clients have the option to listen to soothing bilateral sound to assist with processing.

By focusing on a brainspot, clients can:

🌟Access and process subconscious feelings and memories.
🌟Release physical tension or emotional blocks.
🌟Experience natural healing and integration of trauma.
