Prince dumb ,

If u want to up your relationship game then u have come to the right place!

AvidOrganizer ,

Like supervision in your back pocket!

If you love EFT, or are new to the model and want to continually sharpen your skills, the Leading Edge is a great resource for pushing yourself to grow and transform your practice. I’ve felt so grateful for this resource, whether I’m looking for last minute supervision before a tough case, or I was just thrown a curveball and I’m shaken, this podcast has been more than just a buoy in the storm…it’s truly the voices of stronger, wiser others that can resource you up so you can embark on this epic adventure with more compassion, confidence, and clarity in the therapy room.

Thanks to the LE-EFT team for all you do.

ACG103 ,
