Neuro Navigators Episode 28: Trust in FND: What Builds It—and What Breaks It? (Live Podcast Recording)

This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard podcasts. Join host J.J. Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS, for an insightful conversation with Julie Hershberg, PT, DPT, NCS, a renowned expert with over two decades of experience navigating the complexities of functional neurological disorder (FND).
