Comments from the Training Program
I appreciate the thought, detail and clinical process put into facilitating this program, as I am a mental health clinician myself. I feel blessed that I am a part of this rewarding program and recommend it highly.
The personal mining experiences are providing me with such profound self insight in a safe, extremely fun and structured way.
I am learning about the heart, mind and physical body connection in a way that all other therapies I’ve committed to, didn’t even touch.
