Welcome,

Let’s get you acquainted with DNRS 2.0.

You are now officially on your way to retraining your brain, regaining your health, and reclaiming your life, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Before starting the course, we encourage you to read this User Guide. This will help you to successfully navigate your way through the program.

The following is an overview of how the program course material is intended to be viewed.

The DNRS 2.0 course is divided into 6 lessons: an introduction, a lesson for each of the five pillars of recovery and conclusion. The videos are set up to walk you through the program one step at a time. Please go at a pace that is right for you. (You can go back to review any lesson at any time.)

For optimal results, please pick a “start date” with the intention to set time aside every day to go through the program and practice what you are learning. This helps set new neural patterns, and prevents your brain from defaulting into old patterns.

It will be helpful to read through the day’s activities first thing each day— so you’re prepared.

Throughout, you will notice there are “take a break” pages. We encourage you to take a ten to fifteen minute break during this period to allow your brain and body time to absorb the information.

It is best to do the program when you are not experiencing an overwhelming amount of stress, for example, on the heels of a relationship break up, after the death of a family member or when you are in the process of moving. Having said that, we fully recognize that having a limbic system impairment represents stress in itself, and rest assured that you will learn what you need in order to change your limbic system.

The course is broken into videos and a Student Manual (reading and written exercises). Throughout the program, Annie refers to the Student Manual. Please note that in the online version, the Student Manual is seamlessly embedded alongside the videos for easy access. Throughout the course you can email your notes and daily exercises directly to the email address connected with the account; these items can then be printed off and referenced for future use.

Referring to the course legend below, the online Student Manual is represented by the ‘written exercise’ and ‘reading assignment’ icon.

Please don’t worry – it isn’t necessary for you to remember all the details of the science or theory of this system. It is more important that you stay present and participate in the program. You can re-watch the videos, re-read information or complete the written exercises anytime within one year of your enrollment.

The Dynamic Neural Retraining System Online Course represents the foundation for your daily practice for at least the next six months of your life where you will dedicate yourself to the task of rewiring your limbic system.
