Level 1 course
Neuro Resilience Exercises (NRE) - Building Resilience in an Age of Stress and Trauma - SEPT 10th - DEC 03rd 2025. - The course has startet and is fully booked
Relational Trauma Therapy specializes in understanding and effectively addressing hypo-aroused states (under-activated states) within trauma work. Our clinical experience has highlighted the crucial role of addressing neurologically under-activated systems through sensory rehabilitation and education. This insight has culminated in the development of the Neuro Resilience Exercises (NRE) methodology. The course is fully booked and has started.
Level 2 course
Beyond polarising - Managing similarities and differences bodily and relationally
A 7x3 hour online course. Dates: Feb 25, March 11, March 25, April 15, April 29, May 13, May 27 - 2026
In this course we will explore interactions around similarities and differences both bodily and relationally.
Bodily the dynamic can play out between hyper- and hypo-states.
In hyper-states we over-activate – either muscles or autonomic nervous-system or both. In hypo-states we under-activate. These two strategies are very different – and they easily get stuck in polarisation to each other – or going dominant or submissive to each other.
Clinicians participating in this training will gain a basic understanding of and practice in including and regulating similarities and boundaries together with a client in the map of trauma therapeutic methodology

Level 1 course
Including and awakening hypo-response, Special edition Recordings of 7 teaching-presentations
Relational Trauma therapy has specialised in including and normalising hypo-states and developing practical methods for working with these. Psychomotor exercises and neurologically informed training are used to increase empowerment – and reduce the impact of trauma-patterns. Skills and resources held in the muscles, bones and senses are awakened and with that our capacity for regulating emotions and arousal-states can grow. Clinicians participating in this course will gain a basic understanding of and practice in including modification of hypo-response in the map of trauma therapeutic methodology.
