100% recommend. It’s changed the way my sessions go. I am able to regulate and contain big energy and aggression. No more accidental injuries from clients, no more broken toys, clients are not leaving sessions significantly dysregulated. -Elizabeth Ann

An excellent book! Lisa takes the seeming complexity of the interpersonal neurobiology field and applies it directly to work with children. The book is easy to understand and digest and makes the leap to application easy. A must read for anyone who works with children. – Suzanne
