Neurophysiological Assessments
Brain and Body Trauma Treatment Only available at 14 Peaks
Step 1: Assessment before Treatment
Dunkin NeuroMap™ identifies where regulation breaks down, where the nervous system gets stuck, and what to treat first. This allows treatment to follow a clear plan instead of trial and error. We map five parts of the brain: the medulla, pons, diencephalon, limbic system, and cortex.
Step 2: Three Phase Step-by-Step Treatment Plan
Healing follows a developmental sequence: stabilization first, then attachment and regulation, then integration and growth.
Phase 1 - Nervous System Stabilization
What clients often notice:
Feeling slightly calmer day to day
Less emotional flooding
Improved sleep patterns
Fewer shutdown or panic responses
Better ability to use coping skills
Feeling safer in their body
What this phase builds:
Regulation capacity
Safety before trauma work
Nervous system flexibility
Foundation for deeper treatment
Why this matters:
Without stabilization, trauma processing often becomes overwhelming or stalls.
Phase 2 - Attachment & Regulation
What clients often notice:
Trauma memories feel less intense
Reduced emotional triggers
Increased emotional tolerance
Less avoidance
Hope for connection with others
Feeling less “stuck” in old patterns
What this phase builds:
Safe trauma processing
Nervous system tolerance
Emotional integration
Reduced reactivity
Why this matters:
Trauma work is most effective when the nervous system has enough regulation to process without retraumatizaion.
Phase 3 - Integration of Brain and Body
What clients often notice:
Greater confidence
More consistent emotional stability
Stronger relationships
Increased resilience under stress
Ability to recover faster after setbacks
Feeling more like themselves
What this phase builds:
Long-term nervous system resilience
Identity stability
Relationship capacity
Sustainable emotional health
Why this matters:
Treatment is not just about reducing symptoms, but helping clients function with strength and stability long-term.
Nervous system progress is evaluated through:
Dunkin NeuroMap™ retesting
Nervous system pattern changes
Symptom reduction
Functional improvement
Phase indicators
Dunkin NeuroMap™ helps clients:
Create a clear treatment roadmap
Identify nervous system patterns
Sequence treatment in the right order
Measure progress through retesting
What clients often experience as they move through the phases:
Feeling calmer and less reactive
Improved emotional control
Reduced overwhelm
Better sleep and recovery
Increased confidence
Therapy finally moving forward
This is not general therapy. This is a structured trauma treatment model. Like physical rehabilitation, this work is most effective when followed as a structured process rather than occasional sessions.
Developed by Dr. Kimberly Dunkin, the Dunkin NeuroMap™ provides a structured treatment roadmap for complex trauma.
Dunkin NeuroMap™ Method
You weren’t broken.
Development got interrupted.
Dunkin NeuroMap™ helps complete the developmental process trauma disrupted through a structured nervous system treatment pathway.
Understanding the Nervous System Changes Everything
What is the Dunkin NeuroMap™?
The Dunkin NeuroMap™ helps your therapist understand how your nervous system has adapted to stress and life experiences.
Instead of focusing only on symptoms, it looks at how your brain and body are organized underneath those symptoms. This allows treatment to follow a clear, structured path beginning with stabilization, moving into deeper engagement, and progressing toward integration and long-term flexibility.
Therapy becomes more targeted, more organized, and more effective. Dunkin NeuroMap™ is for adults.
The NMT
Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics For Children
The NMT Assessment is a structured, brain-based evaluation designed to understand how early life experiences have shaped your nervous system development.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, NMT looks at how different parts of the brain are functioning, especially those responsible for regulation, stress response, attachment, and emotional control. This allows us to identify where your nervous system may be underdeveloped, overloaded, or stuck in survival patterns.
Using this map, we create a targeted treatment plan that prioritizes regulation first, then connection, and finally higher-level integration. Therapy becomes more precise, more effective, and more aligned with how the brain actually heals.
