There are very few training offers on trauma for non-therapists - especially practical ones

Why Stabilization Techniques are still not widely established

"There is a general tendency for people to know things [...] but it is too little to just know about things [...] without having specific techniques and methods." [02:30]

Doing vs. Knowing

Organizations need to create conditions for their staff to actively intervene in a structured way. Stabilization work cannot be squeezed in between other tasks and responsibilities and needs dedicated time and space. [03:00]

"[...] we are still missing huge opportunities for helping people and giving people what they really truly actually need." [03:25]

current state / missed opportunities

"Why is there not a movement to make these methods more available?" [03:50]

Movement

The Vision

... to give every human being what she/he needs to grow to their full potential.

"It surprises me again and again and sometimes to be honest it makes me very angry to see what the actual need is on the ground and how little of that [solution] is being implemented and done." [04:45]

Talking vs. Doing

Lets talk about it -

"Not with good consciousness can we only talk about trauma and not give people the means to actually deal with it." [05:34]

"Yes for many situations you need a therapist and you need the setting of psychotherapy. That is out of the question. But in many situations [...] it is just an illusion to say you will make available psychotherapy in the quantity that they need it. It is never going to happen [at least] not within a reasonable timeframe. People suffer unnecessarily." [05:43]
