As mental health practitioners living in the Information Age, it is oh so easy to be overwhelmed with all the latest knowledge and technology available for the diagnosis and treatment of mental health. After all, there are over seven billion people on the planet, each with their own perceptions, experiences, hopes, dreams, and goals. How on earth can we know what to do in every situation? Even when we have avenues to trod, why do we often fail to see lasting change?

Enter Interpersonal Neurobiology.

This robust and conciliatory framework created and cultivated by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel and many other renowned scientists from various scientific fields simultaneously allows for the deep respect and honoring of differences while providing a means by which we can simplify our understanding of and approach to well-being. Yes! A science that simplifies our work!

If you feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or just ready for a new challenge, this is the course for you! From the cutting-edge and well-packaged insights in the field of attachment science to the concise conceptualization provided by the nine domains of integration, this course will open your eyes (and heart) to a new way of seeing and doing your work. You will emerge with novel tools, insights, and inspiration as you take on the worthy work of healing…for yourself and your clients!
