TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs\, Connecting Principles for attachment needs\, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment\, sensory processing\, and neuroscience research\, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection. \nA foundation of TBRI® concepts is important for further understanding; therefore\, the TBRI®: Introduction & Overview is a pre-requisite for any of the other courses (Empowering\, Connecting and Correcting). Once the initial TBRI® Introduction & Overview class is completed\, families may complete the other sessions in any order. \n\nSession 1: TBRI® Introduction & Overview*\nIn this class\, we will: \n\nLay a foundation for insight\nCreate a practical framework for intervention and application\nEnhance understanding regarding\n\nInterpreting behavior\nResponding appropriately with the TBRI® Principles (Empowering\, Connecting\, and Correcting)\n\n\n\n*This is a prerequisite and must be completed before taking any additional sessions.  \n\nSign up for Training Today!

TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs\, Connecting Principles for attachment needs\, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment\, sensory processing\, and neuroscience research\, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection. \nA foundation of TBRI® concepts is important for further understanding; therefore\, the TBRI®: Introduction & Overview is a pre-requisite for any of the other courses (Empowering\, Connecting and Correcting). Once the initial TBRI® Introduction & Overview class is completed\, families may complete the other sessions in any order. \n\nSession 1: TBRI® Introduction & Overview*\nIn this class\, we will: \n\nLay a foundation for insight\nCreate a practical framework for intervention and application\nEnhance understanding regarding\n\nInterpreting behavior\nResponding appropriately with the TBRI® Principles (Empowering\, Connecting\, and Correcting)\n\n\n\n*This is a prerequisite and must be completed before taking any additional sessions.  \n\nSign up for Training Today!
