Trainer: National Association of Therapeutic Parents (NATP)
Course Overview: Children who have suffered developmental trauma often have very high circulating cortisol. This is like their body being on full alert all the time with a pounding heart and feelings of being agitated and not being able to keep still. If the child is feeling extra anxious, this triggers further cortisol production and makes matters worse, because the central nervous system interprets a threat, the body is taking over from the brain, making sure that the body is ready to manage the challenge and run or fight, keeping the child wakeful and alert with eyes and ears wide open for signs of danger.
