Today on the podcast we invite Dawn Lawless, CEO and Co-Founder of Counseling Connections for Change, Inc. to discuss a holistic model of therapy known as TBRI. Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical and environmental needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs and engagement, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI is connection. Take a listen as Dawn breaks down these key principles.

The I Found Her podcast is a biweekly conversation between a birthmother and the daughter she gave up for adoption during the Baby Scoop Era. This podcast chronicles our reunification some 36 years later and sometimes invites a guest on to discuss the complexities of all things adoption and reunion, but with a twist.
