Important
This material is flexible. Use it for your clinical work or for your own personal growth.
If you're a therapist, counselor, psychologist, or mental health professional, these maps become the bridge between neurobiology and the way your clients talk. They work even with clients who can't name what they feel, who zone out mid-session, or who keep saying "I don't know why my body does this."
Every one of the 100 pages is designed to look beautiful and make sense at a glance.
The 100 Maps, Organized into 8 Clinical Modules:
