Read MoreThis was such a powerful course. I appreciate Lisa Dion's practical, applicable examples as well as her understanding of interpersonal neurobiology and how that affects both our kids in aggressive behaviors and us as clinicians in response to these behaviors. I feel like I have struggled with this population for the exact reasons she outlined and will now be more equipped to manage my own intimidation with this in the play room.
