If you’re just as excited about this topic as Lisa, you’ll definitely want to take notes for this one …

Here’s what you’ll hear …

How nervous system expressions occur within the context of families; How all behavior (even what we term as dysfunctional) is actually functional and has a purpose; How the family system is always in balance and how it is always attempting to equilibrate itself; How to become the external regulator to help regulate the family nervous system; and How to use this information clinically to inform your therapeutic work.
