“This is where so much of this comes from, in RTEP actually. But one cool thing about GTEP is that it's very art therapy based. You don't have to be an art therapist to implement it, because I sure am not. But there's a lot of drawing involved, which is super cool. ” - Carolyn

“It happened to me the other day when I was looking at someone's profile on Instagram and I went to their bio and then I was like, where is the cost of this service? Like I'm done with this person.

Welcome back to another episode of the Future Template Parent Podcast!

Today's episode is a slightly different episode than I normally do. I am including a segment of a coaching call with an EMDR trained therapist, Nathalie. We had a great time chatting about intensives, and you'll hear me answering some of her questions.
