DBR is a trauma modality developed by Dr. Frank Corrigan in Scotland, whose extensive trauma work and knowledge of neuroscience led him to develop this revolutionary way to process trauma. This modality goes below the Cortex, ie-thinking brain, and helps the brain process below the fight/flight/freeze responses we know and targets the midbrain, the noticing brain. This allows the brain and body to move through and process the tension, shock and affect that happens in a milliseconds. We slow down the brain to be able to process what it was unable to at a subcortical level. This is especially helpful for preverbal trauma, those with dissociative disorders and early attachment trauma, as those experiences are primarily before the cortex is fully developed and before there is a conscious memory of the event.
