DBR Training is intended for mental health professionals who are therapeutically trained with 2-3 years of experience working with other modalities.

The content will be most appropriate for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and other health practitioners who have experience of working with early adversity and trauma.

Yes, each session contains important lecture and practicum training where you will practice and apply what you learned.

While the lecture & Q&A portions will be recorded, this alone is not sufficient for completing the course. You must attend the practicum portions.

If you have registered for a training date but are unable to attend all three days, please contact us as soon as possible. We are happy to adjust your attendance to a future group date.

EEG Learn is hosting multiple training groups for each level of DBR training. It is possible to move between training groups to help with scheduling conflicts, provided there is availability.

Please contact us as soon as you become aware of scheduling conflicts. This allows us to maximize the amount of time available for another attendee to take your original place.

After you complete a training level, recordings of the lecture and Q&A portions will be available to review on EEG Learn.

Alongside the recordings will be quizzes and evaluations for you to complete, which qualify you to earn Continuing Education (CE) credit hours for your attendance.

Once you have completed training you are encouraged to:

• Start practicing DBR.
• Join monthly DBR consultation groups.
• Attend additional courses to build skills and deepen your knowledge of related concepts.
• Work in small group mentoring with other DBR providers.
• Join EEGer & EEG Learn's community to share and connect with other providers.
• Join the Deep Brain Reorienting Practitioners group on Facebook.

Each level of DBR training is split into the following sections:

1. Lecture portions from Dr. Corrigan
2. Demonstrations of DBR from Dr. Corrigan with attendees.
3. Small group practicum portions, guided by assistants.
4. Q&A and feedback portions to share your experiences and ask questions.

Additionally, each training level may include supplementary reading, access to presentation slides, and discounts toward related courses. 

You do not need to attend each session, and for some clinicians this is simply not possible.

It is recommended to work at your own speed with learning DBR, taking the time you need to experience and understand the concepts between trainings. Ideally, this is done through practicing DBR with clients alongside other modalities. This provides a rounder understanding of DBR which is helpful in advanced training groups.

This training is completed entirely online via Zoom. Attendees will receive a meeting link prior to the first session of a training group.

Importantly, the DBR trainings offered via EEG Learn are tailored for attendees joining from North & South American time zones. If you are outside of these regions, consider checking the DBR website for trainings that better fit your area.

Recordings of the lecture and Q&A portions are available for attendees to review after the training.

All sessions must be attended live, do not register with the intention of only reviewing the recordings. Each training level includes practicum portions that are critical for understanding and applying DBR.

Recordings will not be made available to non-attendees. If you would like to learn DBR, please register for an upcoming Level 1 group to begin.

This course follows EEG Learn's standard refund policy, specified at checkout.

Please understand that our main motivation behind this training is to make the information and concepts as accessible as possible to providers. If you are unable to attend, please notify us as soon as possible so we can offer your seat to another attendee.

Additionally:

• You are allowed to defer your attendance to a future group 14 days or more before the start of a training group.
• If you experience a scheduling conflict within 14 days before the start of training, please contact EEG Learn ASAP so that we can make your seat available to another attendee. We can work with you for deferring attendance to a future group.
• There is no credit or refund if no notice of cancellation is received before the date of the training.
• There is no refund for partial hours if you are only able to attend a portion of the training.
• Where a training is cancelled due to presenter illness or other unforeseen circumstances, you will receive a full refund or be allowed to defer to a future training group.

Courses via EEG Learn are all scheduled in Eastern Time (US & Canada).

All sessions are scheduled from 10am to 3pm ET (view in your time zone).

DBR trainings offered via EEG Learn are tailored for attendees joining from North & South American time zones. If you are outside of these regions, consider checking the DBR website for trainings that better fit your area.

Attendees can receive a certificate of completion from EEG Learn. Each training level is eligible for 15 Continuing Education (CE) credit hours after completion of the course.

A full DBR certification process is in development.

You can view some research publications & additional readings on the DBR website. A selection relevant to each training level will also be provided for attendees.

You can watch a series of videos with Dr. Corrigan on YouTube, here.

This is an exciting time for DBR! As more therapists & clinicians become trained in the modality, new research and information will become known. We'll share this all with attendees.

You can view some information about the background of DBR on the DBR website, here.

Yes, training levels must be attended sequentially i.e. Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3. Each level builds upon the concepts presented in the prior level.

If you have registered for a higher level without attending the prerequisite level, please contact us.

Each level of DBR training features significant small group practicum portions. This is vital for understanding DBR & applying the skills you learn during the lecture portions.

The practicum begins on Day 2, with attendees being split into groups of three. Each group will then practice DBR with one attendee in each role: Therapist, Client, & Observer. This repeats until each attendee has a chance to practice in each role at least one time, usually twice over Day 2 & Day 3.

Guidelines and instructions on how to participate in each role are provided to attendees. Attendees should consider what personal topic they would like to work on when acting in the role of the Client.

An experienced DBR-trained assistant will be available to offer guidance during the practicum portions. Additionally, Dr. Corrigan will move between practicum groups to observe and provide guidance.

Practicum groups are assigned randomly, but a list of attendees will be provided before the start of training. Prior to Day 2, attendees are encouraged to contact us with any conflicts that would impact assigning groups randomly. An example would be wanting to avoid being grouped with a colleague or close friend due to the sensitive nature of the practicum portions.

DBR is a non-invasive therapeutic technique. Due to the nature of the modality, there can be residual processing needed.

If you feel you need some support with residual processing during or after a session, please write to us or share with your group's assistant.

The training is led by Dr. Frank Corrigan, the pioneering mind behind DBR, with support from Dr. Jessica Christie-Sands and international colleagues.

The sessions are facilitated by EEG Learn & EEGer, with the specific assistants varying depending on attendance & availability. All assistants are DBR-trained and experienced working with the modality.
