Sarah Bren, PhD is a clinical psychologist and mom to two little ones in upstate New York where she loves to work with new parents, especially parents who want to parent differently than they were parented.  

Dr. Bren developed an interest in working with parents when she became a parent herself.  She was learning about parenting and parenting models and realized that so much of what she was reading 

This insight sparked Dr. Bren’s interest in working with parents with the goal of helping parents break generational patterns and hopefully reduce the number of adults who have to heal from their childhoods.

In this episode, Dr. Bren and I explore:

• What is secure attachment
• Is there a check-list? What is it?
• How do I work toward secure attachment with my child?
• Can I still do that even if my child is older or an adult?
• The importance of curiosity in secure attachment
