His mission is to help
Malte Loos came to Ukraine specifically to support local volunteers and psychologists. He understands how difficult it is now for those who care about others.

The body remembers everything
Malte Loos devotes a lot of attention to working with the body. This is especially true during wartime, when most people are in a state of permanent stress.
"In the body we feel everything: sadness, shock, the pain of loss, the attitude of the family, etc", – says the psychotherapist.
That is why he taught volunteers and psychologists how to work with stress. It is important that you don't try to get rid of tension, you need to feel it, be aware of it and understand what it is for.

A considerable number of practices are designed to overcome tension through movement. "Communicate with tension" – taught Malte.
Style of 5 animals
One of the interesting theories that Malte Loos teaches is the 5 "animal" styles. Each person, depending on the situation, can use 5 types of behavior:
Sea turtle – attentiveness, comprehensiveness.
Chameleon – adaptation, autonomy, "adult" state.
Dolphin – the ability to play and learn.
Mountain goat – logic, confidence (a person confidently holds his position, like a brave mountain goat on a rock).
The phoenix is the ability of a person and his psyche to be reborn (like a mythical phoenix bird from the ashes).

A person can use different styles in different life situations. Where one animal's style doesn't work, another style can work wonderfully.
Malte Loos taught volunteer psychologists techniques of working in different styles. Understanding these styles helps to find an approach to almost every person.
