Our course "Shame – relating to inner value and cultural context" ended well in the end of May. Both the participants and the RTTonline-team are well in the midst of sustainable integrations and landings from all the learning.

The course touched into deep personal and cultural patterns around shame - transformation happened.

We see the importance of establishing a “course-culture”, where it is safe enough to bring experiences around shame into contact.

- The neuroresilinece exercises were a fundamental element in creating safety through strengthening the capacity to stay oriented and relate to traumatic arousal.

Positive feedbacks from the course-participants are still coming back to us, informing us that we as a group as a whole and as leaders did that. It was safe enough.

Now we are preparing our next Level 1 course: Neuro Resilience Exercises (NRE) - Building Resilience in an Age of Stress and Trauma - SEPT 10th - DEC 03rd 2025.

You are most welcome to check the course out.

FREE SESSION on TRAUMA AND SLEEP
MARK YOUR CALENDAR and set your ALARM on
THURSDAY, MAY 15.TH, 7-8 PM CEST.
The pre-registration link on Zoom is attached this post.

I'm happy for hosting this Free ONLINE presentation with Canadian psychiatrist Celeste Thirlwell and psychologist Jaan Reitav,
the people behind the book "Putting Trauma to sleep"

Come and participate in a clinical discussion in this webinar with the authors, who introduce their work exploring the neuroscience behind the integration of sleep therapy into trauma therapy and the embedding of trauma therapy into sleep management. Psychologist Jaan Reitav PhD and psychiatrist Celeste Thirlwell emphasize that EVERY TRAUMA THERAPIST is by nature A SLEEP THERAPIST, and in the book they delve into brainstem dysregulation and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, including increased sympathetic tone and the critical role played by the Locus Coeruleus.

You will be introduced to practical sleep assessment tools designed to improve therapeutic outcomes and promote holistic healing through innovative, neuroscience-based approaches.
The presentation is an introduction to a sleep lens for your trauma practice and will be in English.

Who Should Attend?
We are aiming for a group of people who support others in thriving and overcomming trauma and sleep-challenges.
Anyone treating PTSD, insomnia, stress, or brain injury and professionals working with nervous system dysregulation.
This means: therapists, trauma clinicians, and mental health professionals, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and social workers. This is an event for you.

The format will be like the known frame and structure from events in the scandinavian group Trauma Therapeutic Forum, I founded back in 2020 under the Covid lockdown:
A presentation of approx. 30 min with Jaan and Celeste
Afterwards there will be space for Q&As facilitated by me, Ayuna.
Under the presentation participants will be muted, and you are asked to save your questions to the last part of the call.
There will be room for 100 Zoom-participants.
The main ZOOM room opens at 18:45
The presentation itself will be recorded, the Q&A time will not.
It is not yet certain where or how the recording will be used. Therefore, it is worth participating on the day if you are interested.

Will you join us or tell sombody you know about the event?

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.

New research reveals that witnessing trauma triggers unique brain changes, distinct from those caused by experiencing trauma firsthand.

Forestil dig at enten det øverste eller det nederste kort er dit.
Hvor hurtigt ser du og din hjerne, - hvad er farten på dit informations flow og hvordan omsætter du og genkender din hjerne noget på det midterste kort?
Er du noget du genkender..?
Og hvor hurtigt går det mon dig?

Jeg har lige fået et gennemgående virkeligheds check…
blevet “banket fuldstændig” af en 7 årig hjerne..

Der var 50 års forskel…. Og…
Note til mig selv: Jeg skal træne min hjerne noget mere!

En sød reminder som ikke kun er til børnene,- den er til os alle.

Jeg beskæftiger mig både fagligt og personligt med hypo-response og med Relationel Traume Terapi. Det er mig vigtige fokus-veje, når jeg arbejder med traumer…
Her er en video jeg har lavet i RTT Online regi og et eksempel på hvorfor jeg (også) mener det er vigtigt at fokusere på hypo-respons

En kort artikel om hjernen, digitale vaner, dopamin og at vores børn og unges (hjerner) har brug for vores støtte og hjælp…

Fra artiklen: “…de små, hurtige videoer, spændingen er max, tiden kort, og man kan altid se en til.
Vores hjerne kan ikke forudsige, hvad der sker. Den bliver overrasket. I fagsprog hedder det ’prediction errors’….”

Mere vil have mere, når man ser de korte, spændende videoer. Vores hjerner elsker dem, fordi de er så uforudsigelige. Netop dét gør dem farlige.
