Parenting in the Trenches with Karen Peters

Our Kids, Complex Trauma, and the "Stress Staircase": Strategies for healing, with Dr. Chuck Geddes


Listen Later

Supporting a child or youth who has experienced significant trauma in their life can feel overwhelming, complicated and sometimes impossible. Attachment struggles, intense emotions and behaviours, layers of diagnoses and constant appointments with professionals can leave parents, foster caregivers and teachers feeling helpless, despite their deep love for these deeply hurt kids. Dr. Geddes goes beyond describing the challenges and lays down a roadmap we can all use to cultivate long term healing as well as help us get through the hard moments. He's concrete, specific and practical - and it comes from experience of using these tools and strategies with hundreds of kids over the last decade.

If you listen to this episode and want to know more, please invest in a copy of his new book, Children and Complex Trauma: A Roadmap for Healing. This book will be an effective guide for social workers, physicians, coaches, teachers, parents, caregivers of all kinds, and counsellors dedicated to the heart-work of supporting kids along their healing journeys.

And if you want a compact 45 minute webinar on co-regulation strategies, you can find it HERE to get you started.

We're in this work to support you - the people who directly impact the lives of kids. THANK YOU for being there for them!
