What is Neuroaffective Therapy?
Neuroaffective therapy was developed by Danish psychologist Susan Hart and integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, and body-oriented psychotherapy. The method focuses on how the brain and nervous system affect our emotional development and regulation. The therapist works with all three levels of the brain to rebuild emotional capacity. The method is used for trauma, attachment difficulties, stress, and emotion regulation problems.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
What does 'neuroaffective' mean?
'Neuro' refers to the nervous system and brain, and 'affective' to emotions. Neuroaffective therapy understands psychological difficulties in terms of how the brain and nervous system have developed — particularly in the early years of life.
How does neuroaffective therapy differ from other therapies?
The method consciously integrates work at three brain levels: autonomic (bodily), limbic (emotional), and prefrontal (cognitive). Most other therapies primarily focus on one of these levels.
Who benefits from neuroaffective therapy?
People with early attachment injuries, complex trauma, emotion regulation difficulties, and chronic stress can particularly benefit. The method is also relevant for anxiety and depression rooted in early relationships.
