Food, dietary supplements, herbs, and spices can play an important role in healing for traumatized clients but are often left out of treatment strategies. In this recorded session, you’ll learn specific protocols for addressing the most common symptoms of trauma and for the acute and chronic stages of TBI. Get tips for overcoming the core nutritional challenges of trauma survivors, techniques for facilitating mind-body nutrition groups for trauma recovery, and strategies to help your clients stick with changes long enough to benefit from them. Whether you deliver these interventions yourself or collaborate with someone who does, this is a can’t-miss session.
