Experiential Videos
The videos on this page are primarily experiential, or more "hands on," in nature. It is our hope to provide you with some helpful tools and techniques to de-stress and decompress during this tough time. We encourage you to utilize the videos on both pages for both a deeper understanding and awareness as to what you may be experiencing, as well as tools for how to cope in healthy ways. We will be adding videos to this page, so please check back! If there is anything in particular you would like to see, please email us at: Therapy@tssnt.org
