Community of Practice: An evening of Deep Brain Reorienting with Dr Frank Corrigan
6pm May 7 2025
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)®
is a trauma psychotherapyDBR aims to access and process traumatic experience by tracking the original sequence of physiological responses that occurred when the deep brain had been alerted to a threat or an attachment disruption.
Deep Brain Reorienting was developed by Dr. Frank Corrigan mainly for the treatment of attachment shock; but it can also be applied to the processing of other unresolved traumatic experiences.
Join us for a night of nibbles, networking, Q & A with Frank Zooming in from the UK, and hearty discussions to support our growing complex-trauma-informed community.
WHERE: SAMESH Community Centre, 57 Hyde Street, Adelaide City
WHEN: 6pm 7 May 2025
ENTRY: FREE for members
$10.00 for non members

3 Day AT Workshop for DBR Therapists with Martin Warner & Donna Swedosh
May 2025
The ATC is excited to share information about an upcoming DBR workshop integrating Alexander Technique Interweaves. These Workshop will be held in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland in May 2025. You can find out more about the workshops here.
Facilitated by Melbourne Psychologist Donna Swedosh and Martin Warner an English Alexander Techniques (AT) practitioner, this workshop combines the highly specialised AT interweaves with the DBR process to more effectively release bracing from moments of shock, armouring against affect & core pain.
Since Adelaide misses out on the Workshops, we’re pleased to say that 10 members of our community can obtain a discount of up to $600.00 off the standard registration fee (excluding GST) just by living in Adelaide, being the first 10 to contact the ATC by 21st March, and by being fully registered and paid by 28th March. If this is you, be quick to send us an email via the link to obtain a discounted place!!

Deep Brain Reorienting
This event has passed.
Join us for a transformative two-day training exploring the profound impact of deep midbrain systems on trauma and its clinical consequences. Unravel the distinction between circuits for shock, particularly attachment shock (past or present), and circuits for affective and defensive responses, the foundation of Dr Frank Corrigan’s Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) approach.
DBR is an evidence-based trauma memory processing modality studied in the laboratory of Professor Ruth Lanius. Developed from an understanding of stimulus-response sequences in the upper brainstem, DBR activates a healing process by tracking these sequences while leveraging physiological knowledge. This approach aims for the optimal resolution of the clinical consequences of traumatic experiences.
DBR can also be useful when attachment urges are conflicted because of adverse experiences. As DBR is underpinned by a nuanced understanding of the neuroscience of early attachment trauma, overwhelming preverbal experiences can be safely processed to resolution. It is an exciting step forward in the treatment of complex trauma.
We’re fortunate to welcome Dr Andy Harkin from WA back to Adelaide to facilitate this two day workshop.
