About the training
The Freedom to Move Forward Intensive™ Model helps clients understand the effects of childhood relational trauma, which is an important step in healing the underlying dynamics at work in dysfunctional behaviors and relationships. Based on Pia Mellody's Post–Induction Therapy (PIT) and informed by attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and developmental psychology, trainees will leave with a clear path to help move clients into new ways of showing up in relationships.
