2.  Trainings and Research on the Brain
Research about the brain and how the brain and environment (including relationships) is booming! Seems like every magazine, newspaper and journal you pick up is reporting new and fascinating discoveries - one of the most important for therapists is that relationships in fact wire and rewire the brain! 

This is something that Interpersonal Neurobiology explores in depth. 

Check out the next two classes - one coming up next week
