Featured reviews
The majority of patients who suffer from pain and chronic physiological pathologies simultaneously suffer from severe trauma related to the emotional body. Therefore, this course is beneficial for better approaching the patient's overall diagnosis on the biopsychosocial level. As such, I strongly recommend that you take this course, which is very informative and presented in a way that is easy to understand.
