I HATE BUTTONS is a short story turned metaphor about how our son Khai used to hate buttons... for 12 years... and everyone tried to label it as an autistic trait... but was it?

DEPRIVING OUR CHILDREN is a quick rant around why I strongly feel that trauma exists in order for us to help transform our mess into our message. Yet, we diagnose and medicate away our children's - our next generation's - opportunities for transformation (aka becoming who they are here to become - through healing their wounds)… and most importantly, I feel that as parents if we label and medicate our children [with ADHD], we the parents never get to dive deeper, identify our own traumas, our coping mechanisms, our addiction patterns and we don't get to heal them… in turn healing our children and dissolving these so-called symptoms of ADHD.

These 'labels' keep us boxed in and they keep us and them small.

Listen in and hear for yourself where you land in regard to being a conscious or unconscious parent...

A FRAUDULENT DIAGNOSIS is a powerful, in-depth conversation with my guest Laurie A. Couture, a Childhood Developmental Trauma and Attachment Specialist.

Laurie is a licensed mental health counselor and the author of 'Instead of Medicating and Punishing' and the best seller, 'Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons'. She is developing The Couture Protocol, an evidence-based, whole-child program of treating developmental and generational trauma in children, youths, and their families. Laurie provides consulting, presentations, training, and research reports to industries, agencies, and programs that directly serve children, youths, and families.

Laurie discovered early in her professional career that our society's institutions are out of alignment with nature's intent for children's developmental and attachment needs. What concerned her most was that the institutions in which she worked--behavioral healthcare, education, social services, and juvenile justice--generally reacted to children's alarm signals with labels and behavioral/biochemical interventions that caused more developmental distress. She observed that boys especially suffered and withered in these institutions, as their needs and natural alarm signals were met with denial, hostility, or punishment.
