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). Together, they unpack the critical—and often fragile—role of the therapeutic alliance, exploring how past medical stigma and past clinical “gaslighting” can derail patient progress before treatment even begins. You will discover how to identify subtle “trust-breakers” in your own practice and replace them with actionable, evidence-based strategies that center the patient’s wisdom. Tune in to learn how to move beyond simple patient education and build a collaborative partnership that fosters genuine healing.
