Neuro De-escalation®

Method

Neuro De-escalation® in practice is a new and innovative approach that applies the findings of neurobiology, attachment and trauma theory as well as body psychotherapy to the specific problem of escalation.

In this way it complements work with NVR as well as attachment-based approaches.

prevent and Interrupt

Neuro De-escalation® guides people who are prone to escalation from the alarm system to the social engagement system at the onset of survival responsiveness.

Learn how to prevent and interrupt the activation of survival reactions and symmetrical escalation.

Use

Neuro De-escalation® equally works for children, young people and  adults. It does not depend on intelligence, age, physical nor mental state of the person. 

Target Groups

We welcome not only professionals such as social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and child mental health nurses, but also foster carers, residential carers and parents.

Join a community anchoring in mutual support even when the iron is hot.

Participants of our seminars will

• understand the neurobiological background of escalation
• get to know basic approaches, techniques and ways of encountering the person who is prone to escalation that dramatically reduce the risk of escalation
• accompany clients before, during and after escalation
• know and apply techniques on the basis of an attachment orientated attitude that supports clients to switch back to the attachment system even after they have been triggered
• practice dealing with escalations in systemic role plays
• understand escalation as opportunity to foster attachment
• have deep experiences of ‘anchoring’ and remaining emotionally available under stress
• learn attachment-inducing hands-on-body methods to apply at different stages of escalation
• further develop their professional attitude through emotional understanding of escalation

Masterclass Neuro De-Escalation® online

The course spans 10.5 learning hours equally divided between three consecutive training days. The program comprises frontal presentations, discussions, guided imagination exercises, body awareness meditation, and systemic role play. The guided imagination and the systemic role play work with self-exploration of experienced situations and therefore include mindfulness and therapeutic elements. Participants are encouraged to share their personal experiences as part of the learning process.
