Program
Day 1 — Thursday, July 30: Pre-Conference Tracks & Kickoff
Thursday runs as two parallel tracks for most of the day — Track 1 leans experiential and skills-based, Track 2 focuses on the therapist’s own nervous system, supervision, and self-care under pressure — before everyone comes together for the opening night plenary and party.
