Too many children feel hurt, angry, and disconnected from their parents; and too many parents feel discouraged that their child-rearing approaches aren’t working.

Many parent-child therapies focus on improving behaviors without looking at the core issues underneath-attachment and trauma.

This recording offers an approach that focuses on the physiologic, nonverbal connection between parent and child to improve the relationship. Using two attachment-based modalities-Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Theraplay-learn how to enhance regulation, connection, and joy between parents and children as well as guide parents to do reparative work around family trauma. Discover how to:

• Get to the heart of a child’s deeper thoughts, feelings, wishes, and beliefs without relying on the child’s ability to verbalize feelings
• Facilitate active dialogue between parents and children that’s both safe and gets to their core issues
• Practice scenarios for optimal arousal, affect regulation, and de-escalating child-parent dysregulation
• Learn gentle ways to intervene and redirect a misattuned or critical parent
