Dr. Curt Thompson, founder of Being Known and author of Anatomy of the Soul, explores connections between interpersonal neurobiology and Christian spirituality. In this episode, he speaks with Kris Faasse, Bethany’s Senior Vice President for Clinical Operations, about how he has applied his research to help parents develop healthy attachments with children who enter their families through adoption or foster care. The key, he says, is for parents to be in tune with their own need for healing, restoration, and relationship. Parenting a child who has experienced trauma requires considerable patience and empathy—which can only be given in proportion to what parents already possess.
