“Thank you for sticking to the talking points that really drive the lesson home. Love this. Listening in my car while I wait in the school pick up line and I love that I get to finish an episode because they’re short.
Thank you! Keep bringing these.”

“Dangerously misinformed. The host makes some broad claims about mental illnesses, some of which could be dangerous to people who may need a level of structural or clinical support. The practical tools of Polyvagal Theory are great, but it oversimplifies the fact that the entire nervous system is...”Read full review »
