Brainspotting in Adoption Therapy Does this sound familiar? You've been told to simply provide love and support to your adopted child, but despite your best efforts, they still struggle with emotional trauma. Or maybe you're an adult adoptee and struggling with ongoing distress from your relinquishment. The pain of watching your child - or yourself - suffer and feeling helpless can be overwhelming. But there is hope. In this episode, we explore the power of Brainspotting as a therapy for trauma in the adoption constellation. By understanding the critical role of support structures, nurturing openness and connection, and mastering emotion regulation strategies, adoptive parents can help support their child's emotional healing. And adult adoptees can access this same healing for themselves with the help of a trained therapist. Join us to learn more and take a big step forward in your healing journey. ===============  

My guest this episode is Brooke Randolph, author, speaker, and trainer.  She specialities are Adoption, Brainspotting, relationships, and developmental trauma. She's a a certified Imago Relationship Therapist, a Certified Brainspotting Trainer & Consultant, and coordinator for the groups Brainspotting Indy and Brainspotting with Adoption.In this episode it is fascinating to hear how Brooke gives first hand insights into the complexity of adoption and childhood attachment trauma.  Through her experience and expertise in therapy she has developed an approach that seeks to facilitate natural healing in appreciation of the innate wisdom of the internal system and the limitless implicit wisdom therein.  Brooke speaks to the challenges of working with those with complex attachment trauma histories and how therapists and attachment figures can benefit from fully meeting the child's expression of their emotional world unconditionally to let their system feel heard, felt and to facilitate co-regulation. She expands on how the pressures of time and expectation of outcome can inadvertently impede the sense of trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship.  Instead, she tells us, as we prioritise the relationship and accept that this takes time, then we create the conditions for deep, long-lasting healing and rewarding relationships. For more information on Brooke's work go to:   Support humanitarian trainings in Oceania https://brooke-randolph.com/humanitarian-trainings-in-oceania/Brainspotting with Adoption & the Constellation Set-Ups Specialty Training https://brooke-randolph.com/consultation-training/brainspotting-training/brainspotting-with-adoption-specialty-training/Recommended reading https://www.amazon.com/shop/brandolphlmhcReceive monthly list of Adoption Therapy resources https://practiceexcellence.ck.page/706af9f5bdCreative Ways to Use Brainspotting with Couples online course https://brooke-randolph.teachable.com/p/creative-ways-to-use-brainspotting-with-couplesSocial Media links https://linktr.ee/BrookeRandolphFor more information on Brainspotting and to train with Dr Mark Grixti go to: https://bspuk.co.uk/trainings-and-events/ https://www.facebook.com/brainspottinguk https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/awe-in-trauma/id1580294433?i=1000543054793 https://twitter.com/BrainspottingUK https://www.instagram.com/brainspotting_uk/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-wfQEAwQX3qr36zkhh9J0g

On today's episode, we hear from Erika and Efrain, parents of a twelve-year-old tween, about their experience navigating a semi-open adoption with their daughter's birth family, and their process in seeking out adoption-competent therapy to work through some of life's challenges. Host Linda Alexandre, Spence-Chapin's Chief Program Officer of Domestic Adoption Programs, leads this helpful discussion about managing a child's and family's expectations when a birth parent is non-responsive, how to seek out the right kind of support when issues arise, and the ways we can be purposeful to build and create the community we need.

Even if you're not quite sure what it is, chances are you've heard of Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1980s that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many people affected by adoption have attributed the therapy with helping them. While there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to seeking help, we will be exploring a number of therapeutic options over the coming seasons. In today's episode, we'll be discussing EMDR with Fiona Mawson, a Counselling Psychologist and registered and accredited EMDR Consultant with the EMDR Association of Australia. Fiona also has an EMDR focussed practice in Victoria.This episode discusses adult themes and listener discretion is advised.

There is no "one size fits all" approach when it comes to finding a therapy that is right for you. Throughout this and coming seasons we'll be exploring a number of therapeutic options in the hope that amongst them you might find an option that you'd like to investigate further. First up we'll be discussing Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSY) with Edwina Kempe, an accredited mental health social worker and trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator and trainer. TSY provides an opportunity to safely connect to your body and your breath through the practice of yoga and is suitable for all levels of fitness and flexibility.
