Outstanding research and information. I am taking notes and it is hard to see tiny print but found the transcript notes which is great. I am very grateful for the opportunity to take this training. Important information.

Began slowly, and I was a little impatient to get going. Better as we got beyond introductions and into topic as it applies to my clients and my practice. Some good insights.

By Noah Harris on 10/11/2020

The course was quite informative and full of useful, relevant resources as I've come to expect from AZI.

By Monika S. Eichler on 10/5/2020

I absolutely loves everything about this course thus far. She is right on the money in terms of somatic experiences and trauma.

By Jennifer Sorrell on 10/3/2020

I took this course to find out about Trauma affects the body. I am truly amazed at what I learned. Yoga, Tai Chi and sound are great therapy tools. Also trust your gut feelings are very powerful and real.

The training content is good, but the sound is terrible. There are conversations with the participants that can't be heard. The closed captions are also very bad, so they don't help when there's audio issues.

By Henry Juarez on 9/17/2020

Wow , much much better than anticipated! I am not a clinician or social worker or therapist, but I do deal directly with children in foster care. This was fantastic. Thank you for this.
