How does it work?

COURSE CONCEPT FOR GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS

The training is suitable for anyone over the age of 16 and can be given in groups of up to 12 persons or individually.

FIVE SESSIONS OVER SIX WEEKS

The training covers six weeks in total. Each of the sessions builds on the other. For the first four weeks, there is one session per week; the fifth and final session follows two weeks later.

3-HOUR SESSIONS

Each session includes a mix of practical exercises (primarily focusing on mindfulness and acceptance), basic theory and time for conscious reflection on experiences from inside and outside the training sessions.

THE IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

For lasting success, it is vital that participants practice the NMF methods between sessions and continue the practical exercises after completion of the course.

CONTINUOUS QUALITY ASSURANCE

The concept is based on continuous quality review and further development. To this end, we employ methods before, during and after a course to record the personal experience of the students, which allows objective statements to be made about the effectiveness of the programme.

THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL TRAINING METHODS

Traditional training methods for optimising mental strength focus on turning internal processes that have supposedly ‘gone wrong’, such as negative thoughts, emotions or physical stress reactions, into positives through conscious and deliberate control. While this so-called cognitive approach may seem plausible at first glance, recent scientific findings have cast doubt on the wisdom of such methods.

1. Poor track record

A significant majority of scientific studies have thus far been unable to prove any positive effects from the traditional training methods. This is supported by numerous field reports.

2. Distraction instead of focus

3. Increased effort and premature fatigue

4. Especially in sport: reduction in skilled performance
