• In 2023 we ran 4 trainings throughout New Zealand, during this time we trained over 100 therapists.

• Our goal is to have 1000 DBR therapists trained in NZ by the end of 2026!

• We will announce more dates in 2024.

​

At the 2023 New Zealand Trauma Conference Dr Ruth Lanius spoke about an amazing new, evidence-based treatment called Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR). It 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.

​

A study published in August 2023 states

'These findings provide emerging evidence for the effectiveness of DBR, as a well-tolerated treatment that is based on theoretical advances highlighting alterations to subcortical mechanisms in PTSD and associated symptomatology.'
