The Dynamic Neural Retraining System is a self-guided brain retraining program that uses the principles of neuroplasticity to help reverse limbic system impairment and regulate a maladaptive chronic stress response that is often the cause of a long list of chronic conditions and symptoms.
The DNRS program includes a comprehensive instructional online video program, as well as a variety of optional support services that are available at any point during your recovery journey.
After purchasing the program, you will have access to a series of streaming instructional videos with up to 12 hours of educational content and proven and powerful brain-retraining techniques.
If you have just purchased the DNRS program and are looking for tips on how to make the most of your healing journey, this blog post is for you.
We will guide you through our recommendations for beginners as well as where to find a wealth of resources and education to support you as you progress through the program.
Step 1: Start The DNRS Program
Starting the DNRS program is an exciting and empowering first step in your recovery journey. Before you begin the program, make sure you have prepared an effective learning environment for yourself. Remove any distractions that could get in the way of you giving your undivided attention.
The DNRS program is experiential and it is the consistent daily application of all elements of the program that leads to lasting changes in brain function and measurable improvements in physical, emotional, and psychological health.
Each component of the program is demonstrated for you in a methodical and easy-to-understand formula so you can integrate the tools you learn seamlessly into your daily life.
The five pillars of recovery with DNRS are:
Pillar 1: Recognize the Link Between Your Brain and Your Condition. This mindset introduces a new way of thinking about how brain function and nervous system dysregulation may be involved in your condition.
Pillar 2: Recognize and Redirect Pathways of the Past (POPs). This is an awareness exercise that allows you to identify and change patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving to support the creation of new neural pathways.
Pillar 3: Practice Full Rounds of the DNRS Retraining Steps. A specialized visualization technique that focuses on desensitizing and resetting the nervous system while promoting new neural pathways.
Pillar 4: Apply Incremental Training. This pillar involves changing trauma associations and graduated exposure therapy (imaginary and real) to desensitize the brain, change fear associations and strengthen positive neural pathways that lead to optimal health.
Pillar 5: Elevate Your Emotional State: Elevating your emotional state helps to provide a cue of safety to the brain, allowing for the brain to move out of survival-related emotions and pave the way for positive neuroplastic changes.
Step 2: Access The Global Community Forum
Included with your purchase of the DNRS program is a lifetime basic membership to the Global Community Forum.
There are over 15,000 members and 15 years of archived information within the forum, including dozens of resources applicable to implementing the DNRS program. This includes everything from a welcoming community of like-minded people who are focused on healing with DNRS, recovery stories, recovery tips, recommended books, featured videos, examples of exercises and so much more.
Inside the forum, you will also find unparalleled inspiration, motivation and support from fellow DNRS participants. We have seen countless lifelong friendships formed with people from around the world who met on the forum. Professionally moderated and updated every day, it is the perfect space to support you as you navigate the DNRS program for the first time.
Step 3: Find The Support Service That is Right For You
Ongoing Support Services are provided by Certified DNRS Coaches and Facilitators and are available once you have started the instructional video program.

Step 5: Stay Focused and Consistent
To create new neural pathways, you need to consider three key principles of learning that will help you apply neuroplasticity:
Focus, Association, and Repetition.
These principles form the acronym, FAR. If you consistently apply these principles, you will go FAR toward your goal of optimal health. Focus, Association, and Repetition each play an important role in learning and developing new neural connections needed to help rewire the brain. When it comes to brain retraining, consistency is key.
