DB-System®
– A Path to a Fuller and More Meaningful Life

When your thoughts feel overwhelming and stress and unease begin to affect your daily life

…it’s not about pushing yourself harder, but about how your brain functions.

When you learn to create balance in your brain, you gain access to more of your inner resources – and you can begin to lead yourself in a whole new way.

Deborah Borgen
– Founder of DB-System®

For many years, I have explored how we function as human beings – both mentally and in everyday life.

What I share today has been developed through 40 years of experience, working with people, and a deep interest in how the brain influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions.

When Things Don’t Quite Work the Way You Want Them To

Many people experience that:

  • their thoughts are constantly racing
  • it is difficult to find a sense of calm
  • stress and unease affect them more than they would like
  • they feel they are falling short – either at work or at home
  • they know they have more to give, but can’t quite tap into it


Some experience it as inner restlessness, others as mental noise or a feeling that something is not quite right.

Many try to solve it by:

  • thinking more
  • pushing themselves harder
  • or looking for answers and solutions outside themselves


But this rarely leads to lasting change – and we find ourselves stuck in the same place.

There Is Another Way

We all have untapped potential within us – along with inner resources that can open up more possibilities in life.

When stress and unease take over, they affect how your brain functions.

This makes it harder to:

  • find a sense of calm
  • make good choices
  • solve problems
  • make better use of your innate abilities


It is not about willpower or pushing yourself harder.

It is about understanding how your brain functions – and learning to create better balance.

My Own Experience Became the Foundation for the Method

I know what it feels like when something isn’t working – even though you are trying.

For many years, I lived with stress and inner restlessness, constantly trying to make things work.

When I hit a wall, I looked for help – both through conventional healthcare and various alternative treatments. I also read everything I could get my hands on about personal development.

But nothing helped.

What I was missing were practical techniques I could use in my daily life.

That became the beginning of a long search for answers.

Over the years, I explored different approaches within therapy, science, and personal development.

But it wasn’t until I began to understand how the brain actually functions – and developed simple techniques – that things started to change.

It turned out that two techniques, a zone for inner calmness and balance, and the Self-Leadership Tool were all I needed to lead myself toward a good life.

What I developed eventually became what we know today as DB-System®.

What Is DB-System®

DB-System® is not therapy, nor is it a method for “thinking your way out of problems.”

It is a specific form of brain training that creates balance.

In addition, it includes two simple techniques, a zone for inner calmness and balance, and the Self-Leadership Tool.

When your brain is in balance, the way you think, feel, and act begins to change.

This helps you to:

  • find a sense of calm
  • make good choices
  • handle what comes your way
  • use more of your innate abilities


This is how you can lead yourself – and create a good life.

Documented Results

When I saw the results the method produced, it almost seemed too good to be true.

That is why it became important to have the method documented through scientific research – so that the results would not be based on experience alone, but could also be demonstrated and verified.

This means that it is not only something you experience – it is also documented.

Research on the method shows, among other things:

  • measurable functional changes in the brain
  • better balance between reason and emotions
  • increased intuition and creativity
  • improved problem-solving ability
  • better concentration and memory
  • increased life satisfaction
  • a greater sense of meaning in life


The research also shows that the brain functions more efficiently, with increased functional connectivity between regions in the right and left hemispheres. 

Participants experience, among other things:

  • less stress and mental noise
  • greater calm and clarity
  • better sleep and recovery
  • an increased sense of mastery
  • greater confidence in their own choices
  • improved quality of life

For deg som ønsker å fordype deg

Etter det fysiske grunnkurset velger mange å fordype seg videre – ikke fordi de må, men fordi de opplever at det gir støtte, motivasjon og videre utvikling.

Du kan fordype deg gjennom fysiske helgekurs, temakvelder og vår digitale plattform.

It’s Not About Becoming Something Else

“It’s not about becoming something else, but about getting closer to who you really are.”

We all have inner resources and potential that can become harder to access when stress, unease, and the pressures of everyday life take over.

When your brain is in better balance, it becomes easier to find a sense of calm, make good choices, and use more of your innate abilities.

DB-System® is about helping you tap into more of your potential, so you can lead yourself toward a fuller and more meaningful life.
