the five items....

The first of these five items are rooted in my own experience and you can check this out personally. The other four are derived - with thanks - from the scientifically-based views of the Scottish CCI trainers Rose Evison and Richard Horobin, as I understand them in their manual and in their writings over 30 years of practice.
The aim of a CCI fundamentals training is: to work from strengths, and increase resilience to stress; increasing the ability to listen and communicate respect to others; increasing ability to detect distress-driven responses in self and others in everyday life, and to minimise the practical difficulties caused, by applying emotional first aid; increasing abilities to overcome getting stuck; and learning skills useful for people who are voluntary or professional helpers. The method applies to the whole person, and the techniques used are organised into strategies that assist learning. These strategies are underpinned by a theory of emotions, that relates to the whole person, and is backed by research in many fields, e.g. psychology, neuroscience, linguistics.
