The Trauma Beneath the Craving: A Neurobiological Approach
This course is built for therapists who want to move beyond behavior management and understand the deeper why behind addiction—through the lens of trauma, the nervous system, and survival.
If you’ve felt unsure how to help clients in the grip of craving, I hope you’ll join me.
Let’s shift the way we treat addiction.
