DBR offers a unique approach to trauma therapy by:

Recognizing the role of physiological shock

Focusing on the body's innate healing capacity

Providing a safe and effective way to process trauma

Key aspects of DBR:

Targeting the Body's Shock Response: DBR recognizes that trauma can be stored in the body as a physiological response, distinct from the emotional experience. It focuses on processing this "shock" response, often targeting sensations in the head and neck.

Tracking Physiological Responses

Emphasis on Safety and Gentle Processing

Addressing Attachment Trauma

Beyond Emotional Recalling:

DBR doesn't necessarily require full recall of the traumatic event, making it accessible for processing even pre-verbal or pre-affective trauma

Neuroscience-Based:

DBR is grounded in the understanding of how the brain processes traumatic memories, specifically focusing on the midbrain and brainstem regions involved in the initial shock response
