*Ways to more deeply understand the body, nervous system activation, and what it looks like in your client;
*How to truly understand a child client’s behavior at a deeper level (hint: it has to do with perception and body movement);
*How to visibly identify confirmation that something has integrated in the child (e.g., their moments of empowerment or deep connection to themselves);
*The biggest misunderstanding about the autonomic nervous system; and
*What regulation truly means, how it’s connected to the body, and ideas for how to regulate more through your own body.
