Bryan Post is a speaker, author, and one of America's leading child behavior and adoption experts. He is the creator of the Stress Model, a dynamic theoretical model of human behavior. Through the Stress Model, Bryan has developed Family-Centered Regulatory Parenting and Regulatory Therapy, which have both been taught at the university level and are changing the lives of adults, parents, and families. Bryan is the founder of the Post Institute—an organization dedicated to helping parents heal wounds created by trauma—and serves as the Clinical Director for Parents in Training, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides wraparound services to adoptive families throughout Northern California. Bryan joins me today to discuss the Stress Model and why it's important to go to the source of an individual's trauma. He describes his early life and how stealing, like other forms of addiction, is an attempt to soothe an internal condition. He explains why mental health professionals must work through their own trauma and reveals a critical flaw in society's mental health systems. He also dissects the relationship between love and fear and underscores how we can empower ourselves to become aware of the source of our pain. “When we are stressed, we are not in love—we are in fear. We can't be in a relationship and be in fear.” - Bryan Post This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast: The creation of internal chaos and how Bryan started stealing in the first grade Intergenerational trauma and the trauma iceberg Adoption trauma and why we need to look beyond the behavioral manifestations of trauma Flipping the script and how Bryan began his work on healing trauma The problem with society's mental health systems The importance of self-compassion, surrender, self-acceptance, and recognizing that we need to do deep healing work What creates secure attachment in relationships Bryan's Stress Model and the relationship between love and fear Empowering people to grow self-awareness over the root of their pain Resources Mentioned: Book: The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson and Miriam Klipper Book: The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life by Joseph Ledoux Connect with Bryan Post: Bryan Post Website Post Wraparound Post Institute Book: From Fear to Love: Parenting Difficult Adopted Children Using a Love-Based, Family-Centered Approach Book: The Great Behavior Breakdown Book: Beyond Consequences, Logic and Control: Volume 1 by Heather Forbes and Bryan Post Post Institute on Facebook Post Institute on Twitter Bryan Post on LinkedIn Bryan Post on Instagram Bryan Post on Facebook Bryan Post on YouTube Where High Achievers Get Through Shit - TOGETHER Thanks for tuning into this week's Trauma Hiders Club ‘The Podcast' episode with Karen Goldfinger Baker.

An interview with Heather Forbes.We'll be discussing Classroom180: A Framework for Creating, Sustaining, and Assessing the Trauma-Informed Classroom, by Heather T. Forbes, LCSW. Classroom 180 is a comprehensive roadmap of what it means to fully create, implement, and sustain a trauma-informed classroom from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Additionally, Classroom180 includes an assessment tool, the Classroom180 Rubric, that can be used by administrators and others specialists who support teachers on the journey of becoming trauma-informed.Heather T. Forbes, LCSW, is the owner of the Beyond Consequences Institute and author of numerous books on the topic of working with children impacted by trauma. Coming from a family of educators, Heather has a passion for helping children in the classroom. Trauma robs children of their curiosity, and Heather's passion is to help these students return back to their innate love for learning. She consults and lectures extensively with both general and special education schools around the nation and the world.Her signature style is to bridge the gap between academic research and “when the rubber hits the road” classroom situations, giving teachers and school personnel the understanding and tools they need for even the most challenging of students. Heather has worked in schools with trauma-impacted students and knows firsthand how challenging it can be on a daily basis with these students.Much of her insight on understanding trauma, disruptive behaviors, and developmental delays, comes from her own experience of raising two internationally adopted children and mentoring a severely trauma-impacted young adult.

You might have met Jim Sporleder in the groundbreaking documentary Paper Tigers. Jim is the former principal of Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, Washington, where he led his team and ultimately his students on the journey of becoming a trauma-informed school. The work Jim, his team, and his students did was so phenomenal that it inspired the documentary Paper Tigers. If you haven't seen Paper Tigers, I highly recommend it. It is absolutely worth your time! A New Lens on BehaviorJim was inspired to shift toward a trauma-informed lens because he knew his school and his students needed something different. He attended a trauma and toxic stress conference in 2010 where he was exposed to a completely new paradigm on behavior.“I always believed behavior was a choice,” Jim said. He left that conference in 2010 with a new – and radically different - understanding of behavior. He said it felt like he was hit by a bolt of lightning; he knew immediately that his approach to discipline needed to change.

Heather Forbes, LCSW is one of the nation's leading experts in the world of Trauma-Informed Education. Heather has worked for over 20 years helping to educate both teachers and parents in the area of using a trauma-informed approach to help student's academic and behavioral health. She is author of “Help For Billy” and her newest book, “Classroom 180”. Heather's work stems from her own experiences after adopting two children from Russia. “School environments are designed for children who have their natural love for learning intact and for children whose systems are hardwired to be able to sit in a classroom and stay focused. But when a child comes along who does not fit this description, we have continued to EXPECT this child to change and to fit into this predetermined mold, no matter how much he or she is unable.” - Heather helps us unpack with this happens and what parents and educators can do. Heather helps us understand how we keep “high expectations for our kids” and yet help them when they display challenging behaviors. “The amount of pressure students are asked to handle in academic environments frequently goes far beyond what their nervous systems are equipped to handle. Staying at this heightened level of stress diminishes their abilities to self-regulate and their abilities to learn.” - Heather Forbes We talk in this interview about motivation, and Heather likes to exchange that word for ‘inspiration'. How are we inspiring our kids to learn? And if kids are inspired to learn, they put forth the motivation to learn.

She is passionate about helping moms first take care of themselves to be their best for their kids.
