Good balance between theory and practice, excellent and dynamic. A very practical training that adds to our current practice while being conscious of not falling back into old habits. It’s a training that gives me energy, it’s resourcing, it rekindles the flame.

I wanted to be able to quickly create a therapeutic bond with my patients. I particularly appreciated the practice with feedback, which allowed us to experience and refine the techniques taught. Yes, I would definitely recommend this training to other therapists who want to be more effective in their practice.
