Crisis intervention

Crisis intervention

Sometimes certain events or stresses send us acutely into a crisis. Once caught in it, it is difficult to keep track: What is important now? What is the first thing to do? What should be done next? The thought of addressing underlying issues and processes in this situation seems impossible. 


What is needed in this case is first of all acute stabilization, regulation of the agitated nervous system and access to one's own resources that are (still) available.

By working in the here and now, you can come back to a state where you can regain an overview and have a greater capacity to act again.



You can then decide whether you want to continue working on the underlying issues at this point, or first rest in stability, recharge your batteries, and give the body time to activate its self-healing powers.
