Feedback From Live Versions of this Course

Presenter was fabulous and taught us all a great deal about their topic.

So incredible! Cathy is amazing!

Love the discussion that was made available throughout as well as the detailed information from research and lived experience of the presenter.

This course was thought provoking and inspiring and definitely helped me towards my goal of feeling more culturally competent working with gender divergent and neurodivergent clients. I got a lot out of it and really respect Cathy's expertise and knowledge.

Wonderful current information and its application to EMDR
