When Raising Kids Reopens Your Client’s Deepest Trauma Wounds

mom with childhood traumamom with childhood trauma

What if I’m doing to my kids what my parents did to me?

It’s one of the most painful questions a parent can ask.

That’s because the childhood wounds some of them carry may be damaging the very relationships they most treasure.

But that same question may also provide one of the most powerful openings we get as clinicians.

Because the moments when parenting reopens a client’s trauma wounds can become the moments where intergenerational patterns get interrupted.

That’s why we asked Dafna Lender, LCSW – a globally recognized child and family therapist, to lead this live, 3-hour, skills-based workshop:

— New Live Workshop —

When Parenting Reopens Trauma Wounds: Skills for Helping Adult Clients Regulate, Repair, and Reconnect with Their Children

In this workshop, Dafna will walk you through how to spot the parent’s activation, how to help them respond instead of react in the heat of the moment, and how to guide them through repair.

Here’s a look at what Dafna will get into:

  • How to recognize when a client’s parenting struggle is a trauma response in disguise
  • A way to help clients differentiate their child’s actual behavior from their own trauma-based read of it
  • The crucial sequence that can change the trajectory of a parent-child conflict, and how to teach it
  • Two regulation patterns that quietly sabotage repair
  • Specific language for helping parents repair after conflict
  • How to distinguish between four rupture typologies (and how the type of rupture can guide your interventions)

Dafna will show you the skills that can help a client stop a pattern before it passes to the next generation and instead, let their connection with their child become the place where old wounds finally heal.

The live workshop will take place on Thursday, July 23 from 12-3pm ET.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Dafna your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
