Trainings for Therapists

Train in NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT)

NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT) is more than a technique—it is a structured, relational, and nervous-system–informed trauma modality designed for real clinical practice.

We are proud to announce that our first official NNRT training will be offered in June, date TBD
This initial cohort will be intentionally small and limited to 6 licensed therapists to ensure depth, mentorship, and hands-on skill development.

What Is NNRT?

NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT) is a trauma-focused modality developed by Reta Whalen, LCSW, Clinical Director at Ora Counseling. NNRT integrates:

Narrative activation in a structured format
Nervous system regulation and somatic tracking
Bilateral stimulation
Relational co-regulation and pacing
Clear clinician posture and fidelity markers

NNRT is designed for therapists who want a trauma model that is both structured and flexible—one that protects against overwhelm while still allowing meaningful reprocessing.

Why Train in NNRT?

Many trauma therapists report feeling caught between two extremes:

Staying in talk therapy without deeper nervous system change
Or activating too much too quickly and risking dysregulation

NNRT teaches clinicians how to:

Activate trauma material in a controlled, titrated way
Track sympathetic activation, dorsal shutdown, and dissociation in real time
Pace sessions sentence by sentence when needed
Maintain relational safety throughout processing
Protect the client’s window of tolerance
Integrate post-processing sessions into real-life change

This training emphasizes clinical judgment, pacing, and regulation tracking as core competencies.

Training Format (June 4-6, 2026)

This 3-day intensive foundational training will include:

Theoretical framework of trauma through an NNRT lens
Neurobiology of activation and reprocessing
Dissociation identification and management
Full protocol walkthrough (from preparation through reprocessing)
Demonstrations
Supervised practice
Fidelity markers and common drift patterns
Ethical use and scope considerations

Because NNRT is relational and nuanced, this initial cohort will be limited to 6 therapists to allow for meaningful feedback, skill refinement, and personal mentorship.

Who Is Eligible?

This training is open to:

Licensed mental health professionals
Pre-licensed clinicians under supervision (with supervisor approval)
Therapists currently practicing trauma therapy

Participants should have foundational knowledge of trauma and nervous system concepts.

Certification Pathway

The June 2026 training represents the Foundational Level of NNRT Certification.

Additional levels (Advanced and Instructor) will be available in future cohorts and will include expanded supervision, case consultation, and fidelity review.

Investment & Registration

The Foundational NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT) Training is offered at an inaugural rate of $1,075.96 (this includes fees and taxes) for the full 3-day intensive (June 4-6, 2026) located at the Riverwoods Conference Center in Logan, Utah.

22 CEUs are offered

Price includes:

NNRT Clinical Materials Package

Each participant receives an NNRT Clinical Materials Package, designed to support both regulation and reprocessing during sessions.

The package includes:

Bilateral stimulation device
