Principales reseñas sobre INTRODUCTION TO INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES AND HEALING PRACTICES
This is a great overview of Integrative Therapies, I learned a lot of detailed information about how you can apply the healing therapies into various situations.
It's a long course. And you might have to wait a week or 2 just to complete a requirement as it is dependent on reviewing other's work.
Thank you for this introduction! I am more aware of how so many different evidence-based therapies and healing practices are there to help us to build, maintain, regain our homeostasis!
A very good synoptic view of the different approaches that exist outside of mainstream practice, and their potential benefits as well as things to keep in mind.
