Baseline

With our Baseline we mean how high or low our energy level and how strong our resilience is. How high or low our Baseline is defines if we are able in a situation to keep our cool, keep our eye on the target and direct our energy associated with OE towards our own chosen goals and applying the PowerWood DIY Kit or if the emotions run wild and/or the situation escalates and we loose control and have further negative experiences. This means clearing the runway of all unnecessary stressors or irritations is of real importance to have a high Baseline.

Our well-being is hugely influenced by both our Baseline and our access to what we call the PowerWood DIY kit.

PowerWood DIY Kit

The PowerWood DIY Kit is information, practical tools and strategies to apply during an incident in the moment to prevent escalation, calm yourself and others and help strengthening the Baseline.

Testimonials

“Helpful to speak to somebody outside my family about family dynamics, to have an outsiders perspective to help with our day to day ups and downs.” (Mother of a 12 year old boy)

I participated in the first Social Volunteer Day in Crediton, and I am very happy that my children and I came. I take great pleasure in being able to use my skills while supporting PowerWood, and I find that talking about, and reading about, overexitability both increases my understanding and works as a reminder of the challenges that we face, and the steps we can take to create the life that works for us, and also, focus on the gifts and uniqueness that come with these abilities. Participating helps me feel more normal and better accept and embrace our challenges.  I get a better understanding of both my children, and my husband and myself, as we all show sign of overexitability in some way, and it is like finding the missing pieces in a big puzzle, that help us identify our needs and what we need to do to balance these.
