In this episode I talk about my newest obsession, attunement and the role of interpersonal neurobiology in therapy. I also share the exciting news that I had my first training CEU certified! My training on applied interpersonal neurobiology and attunement practices will be in February 2025. I also have a non CEU version available for folks who don’t want the CEs and want a lower cost. You can register for either of those trainings here https://linktr.ee/cptsdtherapist
