Today we are joined by Kelly Nicassio who has graciously agreed to come chat with Dr. Bahr and Jody about her daughter's PANS/PANDAS journey and insight as an LMFT.     We cover:    • Kelly shares her background as a therapist & what initially brought her into the PANS/PANDAS world • The story around her daughters own PANS/PANDAS onset • How Kelly’s personal experience with PANS/PANDAS has changed the way she approaches therapy for these families  • Kelly’s introduction to Resilience Naturopathic and how the homeopathic healing journey has been going for her daughter • If you are new to therapy - where do you start? • Strategies that may be helpful for managing PANS/PANDAS at home • The beautiful marriage of homeopathy alongside therapy and how they can work so well hand in hand (in the right circumstances AND when the timing is right) • When therapy is NOT useful for a PANS/PANDAS child, and honestly - how it can be counterintuitive if approached too early • The importance of parental self-care and the huge benefits therapy can have PLUS how therapy for siblings can give them a safe space to process    -------------------------------- As always, we invite you to be our partners in advocacy and education by following, sharing, rating, and reviewing. Together, we can teach the world about PANS/PANDAS and homeopathy!   If you want a place for support, join our FB group: Homeopathy For Pans & Pandas https://www.facebook.com/groups/PANDAShomeopathy    Facebook not your thing?
