Most people who experience dissociation don't have a name for it at first. They describe spacing out, going blank, feeling like they're watching themselves from a distance, or moving through hours of a day they can't fully account for afterward. What they rarely know, without being told, is whether what they're experiencing is a trauma response, something else entirely, or both at once.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a trauma therapy that works where most treatments don't go — the brainstem. Not the story, not the memory, not the meaning you've made of it. The place in the body where threat first registered, before any of that. I offer DBR therapy in Tucson and via telehealth across Arizona.
