Advanced DBR Workshop
Beyond Level 3 Workshop (virtual via Zoom)
What is it? An advanced clinically focused workshop for experienced clinicians trained in Level 3 DBR who want to learn more about the clinical application of DBR for clients with dissociative disorders. We will briefly review theory from Level 3 DBR, but the majority of the day will be discussing ways to use DBR when certain issues present themselves including:
- What if my client can’t do the Whereself/Protoself
- What if my client can’t get an Orienting Tension
- Client Readiness
- “Brainstem Friendly” tools to use in between session or in preparation for doing DBR
Cindy has also graciously prepared a detailed case study to help illustrate working with clients with dissociative disorders.
When: Friday, July 11, 2025 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (GMT -4)
This workshop will be recorded. Registrants will receive a copy following the training and will have access to it for 90 days.

Advanced DBR Workshop
Virtual Deepening into DBR Series
New cohort starting Fall 2025
A 10-month workshop series focusing on developing DBR clinical skills through personal growth.
This small group series will include monthly case consultation and demonstrations of DBR by one of the workshop leads. The rest of the day will be reserved for practicum. Therapists will be paired up and have an opportunity to be therapist and client as well as benefit from time to process the practicum experience.
We hope that with the same practicum pairings, there can be established trust in the relationship and meaningful personal work and professional growth can be achieved.
The workshop series will be led by DBR Trainers and Consultants, Cindy Shrigley, MSW, RSW and Dr. Tina Shrigley, C. Psych. We also plan to have Frank Corrigan with us for group consultation a few times.
Dates: All dates occur on Tuesdays from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm Eastern Time
