Tess Connolly LCSW talks with Sonja Montiel and Hilary Bilbrey about their decided heart companioning technique that fosters a trusting relationship and a strong sense of belonging between you and your child. 

• Sonja and Hilary share with us about the work they do and share a little bit about their story of how their business came about. 
• Sonja and Hilary explain to us about their technique H.E.A.R.T and what it means. 

H - Hold Space

E - Empty Cup

A - Assess for Action/Accountability

R - Review Discussion

T - Trust-Building 

• Tess, Sonja and Hilary discuss how this technique has to come from the heart and curiosity and be authentic otherwise it will not have the full effect. That parents have to have full control of their emotions before they attempt to take on this method for it to be used effectively. 
• Sonja and Hilary talk about how whilst doing this method it is about practice and being messy and we have to be patient and have forgiveness and hold space for these moments. 
• Sonja and Hilary go through the method and give a brief run down for you offering a taste of their method and what it can bring to your family. They share some tips and strategies that we can use as a family. 

- How to hold space and be receptive to our child’s behavior and mannerisms.

- How to mentor our tween or teen and be as supportive as we can with what they are facing day to day. 

- and how to give them mentorship on ways to deal with the situations that they are going through, helping them learn how to deal with situations for themselves and give them life long lessons to support them into adulthood.                

• Tess, Sonja and Hilary discuss virtue words and the importance of how we use them with our tweens and teens. (please download the pdf below for more information)
• Sonja and Hilary share with Tess how grateful they are to be on the podcast and sharing their method with her audience. They are also grateful for the world stopping for a moment and being given that time to reflect as a family and what they want as a family from each other, something they have noticed which has benefited their parents within their membership.
