Workshop Description

This workshop, Healing Trauma, Unmet Needs, and Negative Beliefs in Those Struggling With and Affected By Disordered Gambling, will present a neuro-informed, cutting-edge clinical approach that emphasizes that the nervous system is always working towards health and wellness, healing and adaptation.
