Understanding Trauma Part 2

Are you at a loss to understand your child's big emotions and behaviors? Are you frustrated with, sad about, or even scared of your child? Are you completely confused about how to help them and help yourself make it through even another day in the midst of the arguments, the school refusals and suspensions, and even the threats and physical aggression?If you're at your wit's end, wondering what you've done wrong, or feeling like there's nothing you can do, this podcast is for you!  The Full Potential Parenting Podcast is for parents of children with serious emotional and behavioral struggles, and for professionals who work with such families. In short segments (under 15 minutes), I'll be introducing you to critical concepts (like developmental trauma, neuroception, and regulation), lifesaving stress release tips and tools, inspiring books that I've found transformational or enlightening, and effective (non-pharmaceutical) therapies and interventions that you may have heard of but don't know much about (like EMDR, neurofeedback, or cransalsacral therapy). My goal is to help you better understand not only what's going on with your child but also what's going on with you, so you have more awareness and compassion for your child and yourself and are better able to manage your emotions and be there for your child in a way that helps them feel safe, seen, accepted, and loved, so they can begin to heal.Whether your child has multiple diagnoses or none, if you're at all concerned about what's going on with your child (and about how you're getting triggered yourself), it's empowering to finally get some answers about why certain things are happening and why you're reacting the way you are. Your host, Alison Morris, is the founder of Full Potential Parenting and a certified Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping) practitioner who loves to help parents better understand both the roots of what they're witnessing with the children and various approaches to soothing everyone's stress so you and your child can reach your full potential.
