How to Work with Feelings of Defectiveness by Nicabm

Overview

How to Work with Feelings of Defectiveness is a comprehensive NICABM training designed for mental health professionals who want to help clients overcome shame, self-doubt, and entrenched beliefs of defectiveness. This program brings together top experts in psychology, psychotherapy, trauma, and attachment to provide research-based strategies and practical tools for clinical practice.
