Training Description

This two-day workshop offers participants an opportunity to understand the key role of midbrain systems in traumatic experiences which have clinical consequences. There is an emphasis on attachment shock, which may be historic or recent, and on early life adversity. A distinction between brain circuits for shock and circuits for affective and defensive responding underlies the clinical approach of Deep Brain Reorienting.

DBR is a trauma memory processing modality that has developed from an understanding of stimulus-response sequences in the upper brainstem and uses these in a way that diminishes the risk of overwhelm or dissociation. Tracking the sequences, informed by the knowledge of how they occur physiologically, activates a healing process which, optimally, promotes a complete resolution of the clinical consequences of the traumatic experiences.

DBR can also be useful when adverse experiences conflict with attachment urges. For example, when the capacity to orient toward connection simultaneously triggers the impulse to move away, often with negative affects emerging, the urge to connect with significant others is conflicted at a level not readily accessible in talk therapy.

 

Agenda

The timetables show the order of teaching and learning:

1.) The participants will have theoretical expositions of the CPR intervention.

2) The location and functions of the neuro-anatomy underpinning the intervention will be taught.

3.) Precise practice instructions will be given and questions will be answered.

4) Two live demonstrations will be given with group participants being assisted by Frank Corrigan.

5) All participants will be able to practice the intervention in a group of three therapists in Zoom practice rooms.

6) There will be question and answer sessions.

7) There will be breaks and lunch breaks.

Learning goals:

  • To develop an understanding of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of threat and adversity response systems in the midbrain, the upper part of the brainstem
  • To be able to track deep sequences that have occurred so quickly that only their late effects have been recognized – and to wait with these sequences until entire processing of them has occurred
  • To identify and differentiate the main components of physiological sequences underpinning conflicted orienting patterns in relational
