4 WEEK PROGRAM WITH DAFNA LENDER

12:00 PM-1:30 PM ET | 12 APA CE

Children who feel hurt and angry disconnect from their parents - parents who sense that disconnect feel discouraged when their child-rearing approaches aren’t working. Even when parents attempt to improve their relationship through parent-child therapies, they may find that the interventions focus on improving behaviors without considering the core issues underneath: attachment and trauma.

This workshop, hosted by Collectively Rooted, offers a different lens that focuses on the physiologic, nonverbal connection between parent and child to improve the relationship. Using principles from 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.

You will 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 with words
• Facilitate active dialogue between parent and child that’s both safe and gets to their core issues
• Practice scenarios for de-escalating child and parent dysregulation, facilitate optimal arousal and affect regulation
• Learn gentle ways to intervene and redirect a misattuned or critical parent
