Very valuable content, and I enjoyed the program! Would highly recommend.
L.A.
The upgraded version of Talk Therapy, NNT, was explained through stories, demos, exercises the learner needed to complete and short videos. The chapters of the course were fun and easy to read and understand. I would say the NNT, when used with clients, will be very engaging, and thought provoking. The journey for improving our emotional health will reach in the depths of our hearts, body and soul by discovering what our emotional behaviours mean and how they can make positive and permanent changes in our life. Thoroughly enjoyed every part of this course. Everyone needs to take the NNT session and have "AH-HA " moments!
A.D.
Learning should always result in some form of personal growth. This program exceeded that expectation for me.
A.M.
As a student of the asynchronous stream, I found the course design and systems very flexible and easy to follow. The time-allocation to complete the course was fair and did not feel pressured. I was able to complete the material at my own pace, when my schedule and energy permitted. But found as I dove in, I would get on-a-roll and was so intrigued by the content, I was energized and interested in starting the next lesson or module.
S.M.
The Emotional Health Practitioner Program provided me with an understanding that through Neural Network Therapy we have the amazing ability to overcome trauma, anxiety, grief and emotional pain by creating new pathways to healing. An incredible program.
L.D.
This course taught me a lot about myself and how to relate to others in an effective way. I liked the ability to learn at my own pace, while knowing an instructor was just an email away, and were very quick to respond.
T.R.
Exploring neuroscience- based approaches to emotional health care, by emerging in hands on practical exercises, helped tremendously in fostering a sustainable emotional growth y rewiring my neural pathways. Helped to empower me to support myself and others.
E.M.
“I appreciate the way the course is set up with the flipped classroom, allowing us as much time as we need each week to learn and review the material and then the opportunity to ask any outstanding questions and get various perspectives and interpretations of the lessons. I also find the breaks timely, giving us an opportunity to dig into the lessons a bit more and to prepare for assignments.”
