Description
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.
As a clinician, despite attempting various interventions to help a parent be successful within a parent-child session, you find that the unhelpful parent attitudes and behaviors persist.
Join Dafna Lender, LCSW, as she guides you in learning the steps towards successful parent attachment work.
You’ll learn how to:
Identify when a parent needs more focused individual work
Set goals for parent-focused work
Assess when it is time to re-introduce child into the therapy room
Navigate parent child sessions when the parent’s defenses are re-triggered
Help parents initiate repair and stay present with the child to facilitate true healing and connection
