We are committed to the mission of Integration Nation, building community through education about integrative mental health concepts and practices and seek to deliver the highest level of content possible.  To that end, due to recording live we were unable to use specific audio equipment leading to a few audio issues. We’ve done our best to reduce the impact of the audio difficulties on the content and believe that the content of this conversation far outweighs the minor audio issues we experienced.
