   The idea that symptoms are not signs of pathology instead clues to what human needs are craving different styles of regulation. This book offers new ways to connect to self and others with authenticity! Wish I had this in grad school!

   This is a great resource for therapist, parents or anyone who works with children. Truly though this book can be applied to adults and children being that we all have a nervous system/brain and responses. This book helps individuals to understand the brain and body in a way that feels attainable versus overwhelming. An amazing resources to increase understanding behind behavioral responses which increases connections as well as empathy. :)

   I was surprised at how much Lisa's book had to say to me. I really appreciate that she talks about a difficult subject and "normalizes" the reactions and mis-steps we, as therapists, sometimes take. And then she offers actionable steps that can be taken before, during, and after challenging times in the playroom. The rationale for her suggestions is solidly based in neuroscience and in practice itself and really focuses on the development of the therapist rather than on just another technique. Thank you for the insights, Lisa. I learned a lot and look forward to having more exposure to your work.
