Course Objectives & Your Practical Toolkit
We are skipping the introductory definitions and going straight into actionable intervention strategies:
- Analyze the underlying neurobiology to instantly distinguish between willful non-compliance and a survival-based drive for autonomy (PDA).
- Apply collaborative problem-solving techniques to break down the perceived power dynamic and build a deeply trusted therapeutic alliance
- Critically evaluate standard behavioral interventions to eliminate hidden demands that accidentally trigger nervous system dysregulation, leaving you with “ND-proof” tools for Monday morning.
