NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT)
Tell it, feel it, heal it.

What is NNRT?

NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT) is a trauma therapy that integrates narrative reconstruction, somatic awareness, and neuroscience-informed techniques to help clients process and heal from painful life experiences. Developed to address the dissociative gaps common in trauma work, NNRT ensures clients stay present, grounded, and connected throughout reprocessing—without being overwhelmed or retraumatized.

In NNRT, the therapist remains deeply attuned and relationally present, walking with the client through their trauma story in real time. This approach helps the nervous system safely metabolize traumatic experiences, while gently reshaping how those memories live in the body and mind.

​

How It Works

Each NNRT session is carefully structured to promote safety, attunement, and meaningful change:

1. Grounding & Regulation – Tapping into the nervous system’s window of tolerance using bilateral stimulation tools like the Theratapper™.

2. Narrative Selection – Clients choose a trauma memory or theme to reprocess.

3. Co-Regulated Reprocessing – The story is revisited aloud or silently, with the therapist maintaining active support and somatic tracking.

4. Somatic Mapping – Clients identify where trauma lives in the body and process the associated emotions and sensations.

5. Desensitization & Resolution – The narrative is reprocessed and rewired in real time with both hemispheres of the brain online.

Why It Works

Traditional trauma therapies often miss a critical window—those brief but significant moments of dissociation when the client mentally “checks out.” NNRT is built to catch and anchor those moments. Whether a client is processing childhood trauma, combat experiences, sexual abuse, or systemic harm, NNRT works to keep them:

• Present

• Regulated

• Empowered

NNRT draws on principles of memory reconsolidation, bilateral stimulation, and somatic co-regulation, while remaining flexible enough to meet each client exactly where they are.

NNRT is effective for individuals experiencing:

• PTSD or C-PTSD

• Anxiety rooted in trauma

• Sexual trauma and abuse

• Dissociation or depersonalization

• Offense-related trauma (victims and perpetrators)

• Combat/military trauma

• Trauma that hasn't responded to other modalities like talk therapy
