Comments

Maren C

"I was really bummed when I attended the pre-recorded training and the slides often did not match what he was reviewing. The material was also more of case studies than truly learning about trauma and the biological response. I would have like to learn more about the brain as well as how this presents in adults. There seemed to be a lot of focus on children which was not mentioned in the flyer. "
