Learning new concepts and watching demos. This woman is amazing!!!!!
Inspired conversations, not too many assignments, passionate teaching. I really appreciated getting to know more about the interaction between attachment, substance abuse, and trauma. Gabor Mate’s book was eye-opening. I really appreciate all the references to further resources (books, articles, websites).
I appreciated her enthusiasm and knowledge on the subject matter.
Shannon is passionate and enthusiastic about the content and it is infectious!! She weaved together different literature to provide a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to the science of addiction.
I’ve learned so much in this course and am appreciative that it is included in the substance abuse certificate program. Exploring the connection between addictions and trauma and learning about how substances affect the brain has improved my overall knowledge and understanding of addiction. I appreciate the approach that Shannon took in teaching the course…
Class discussion!! PHENOMENAL CLASS Thank you!!!
Shannon is personable and really broadened my knowledge with addictions, substance use, and attachment.
I could focus on learning instead of having serious anxiety about assignments!
Shannon is the reason this course is so amazing and interesting. Her specific experiences are directly related to issues that clinical social workers will face. The way she presents material, engages us all in class discussions, etc is why this is the best grad school class I have ever taken.
Wow. Everything. Professor O’Neill presents with such dynamics and guides us through this material in a way that makes it fun, interesting, and thought-provoking.
