(Live Podcast) Trust in FND: What Builds It—and What Breaks It?
Presented by Julie Hershberg and J.J. Mowder-Tinney
Description
Join host J.J. Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS, C/NDT, CSRS, CEEAA, for a powerful, live conversation with Julie Hershberg, PT, DPT, NCS, an expert with over two decades of experience navigating the complexities of functional neurological disorder (FND). Together, they dive into the critical—and often fragile—role of the therapeutic alliance, exploring how medical stigma and past clinical “gaslighting” can derail patient progress before it even begins. You’ll discover actionable, evidence-based strategies to move beyond simple education and toward a collaborative partnership that truly centers the patient’s wisdom. Tune in to learn how to identify the subtle “trust-breakers” in your practice and replace them with clinical rapport that fosters genuine healing.
This is a live filming of a Medbridge podcast. In this dynamic session, you’ll have a front-row seat to listen in on the experts in conversation while also engaging with a vibrant community chat that gives you direct access to peers and leaders in a modern, accessible way.
