I found the course on narrative exposure therapy provided by NET Institute extremely rewarding and useful in my work with victims of trauma. The focus on hands-on exercises and applying the method on personal real-life experiences gave a unique peak into the working parts of the therapy that can not be explained through mere lecturing. Both of the facilitators gave expert insight into working with trauma and have benefited me greatly in my therapeutic practice.

Basic Training in NET - Your 3-day Kickstart (part 2/2)

Part 2 - 'Dissociation and NET Practice'

We will start the day by introducing you to the Defense Cascade of Survival and the biological adaptations of humans to life-threatening situations. Based on this, you will learn to assess dissociative reactions in trauma patients and identify event types and stressful circumstances that trigger parasympathetic dominance and shut down. Overcoming dissociation using anti-dissociative strategies during trauma-focussed treatment is an essential skill that should be in every therapist's toolbox. A lecture on The Etiology of Dissociation and Treatment Implications is presented. Participants learn about the Biology of Surviving - including the origins of peri-traumatic dissociation and the Defence Cascade - as well as strategies to counter the occurence of dissociation during Narrative Exposure.

We then observe a live demonstration of Narrative Exposure, with a senior NET Institute practitioner guiding a client through a dissociative or otherwise highly-stressful life experience, while applying Narrative Exposure.

After Q&A we will go into small groups and practice the application of Narrative Exposure under supervision.

Back in the plenary, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences and discuss technical questions.

Following small-group sharing and plenary feedback, we will move into another group exercise to further refine and consolidate Narrative Exposure skills, supported by immediate and constructive guidance from our group moderators.

By the end of the 2-day seminar NET Fundamentals Training & 1-day seminar Dissociation and NET Practice, you will be prepared to begin practicing Narrative Exposure Therapy (ideally under supervision).
