Podcast appearances and mentions of Laurie A Couture

Normal boy behavior is too often pathologized and drugged and medicated. When our children "act out" or "act up," it doesn't mean that they have poor behavior, a learning disability or a mental illness. It actually indicates that they are in distress and it's up to us as adults to investigate the cause of the behavior and to attempt to meet their needs.   Laurie A. Couture is a licensed mental health counselor and the author of "Instead of Medicating and Punishing" and "Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons." Today, she addresses the crisis our boys (and all of our children, really) are facing when it comes to physical and mental health. Laurie offers sound advice for supporting and nurturing our children through appropriate diet and attention. She makes specific recommendations for what foods to avoid to protect their health (like refined sugar and soy) and how to help them deal with trauma (like using protocols like EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).   Visit Laurie's website: laurieacouture.com Join the Weston A.

I've mentioned secure attachment in several previous episodes. We sometimes lump this very scientific concept under general terms like having a “good relationship” or “strong connection” with our kids and teens. This concept of secure attachment is the basis for these more general terms. It's about first understanding and then meeting our kids', teens' and tweens' needs. If we don't meet those needs, we see dysregulation,  anxiety, depression, mistrust, etc. In today's episode I talk to Laurie A. Couture, a licensed mental health counselor, child trauma specialist, child advocate and author. Laurie drives home the concept of secure attachment and how unmet needs and trauma (small and large) can lead to insecure attachment with your teen…and how you can repair it.

A FRAUDULENT DIAGNOSIS is a powerful, in-depth conversation with my guest Laurie A. Couture, a Childhood Developmental Trauma and Attachment Specialist. Laurie is a licensed mental health counselor and the author of 'Instead of Medicating and Punishing' and the best seller, 'Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons'. She is developing The Couture Protocol, an evidence-based, whole-child program of treating developmental and generational trauma in children, youths, and their families. Laurie provides consulting, presentations, training, and research reports to industries, agencies, and programs that directly serve children, youths, and families. Laurie discovered early in her professional career that our society's institutions are out of alignment with nature's intent for children's developmental and attachment needs. What concerned her most was that the institutions in which she worked--behavioral healthcare, education, social services, and juvenile justice--generally reacted to children's alarm signals with labels and behavioral/biochemical interventions that caused more developmental distress. She observed that boys especially suffered and withered in these institutions, as their needs and natural alarm signals were met with denial, hostility, or punishment.

I want to sell drugs to healthy people. I want drugs to sell like chewing gum.” —Henry Gadsden, former CEO of Merck, Fortune magazine, 1976 “The way to sell drugs is to sell psychiatric illness.” —Carl Elliot, University of Minnesota Bioethicist (In Shankar Vedantam, July 16, 2001, The Washington Post) For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com

Empowering boys is one powerful way to address the boy crisis. Some people -- often, people who don't have or work with boys -- wonder why boys need to be empowered. After all, they say, men still control most businesses and countries. But boys struggle in the classroom and in our communities. "Dangerous double standards" exist regarding sexual abuse, depending on whether the victim is male or female, says Laurie A. Couture, a mental health specialist, mother, and author of Instead of Medicating and Punishing: Healing the Causes of Our Children's Acting-Out Behavior by Parenting and Educating the Way Nature Intended. There's a tendency, she says, to focus on male pathology rather than male needs and strengths. Couture says one of the most effective things parents can do to empower boys is to "get them out of the public school system" and explore alternative educational options such as homeschool or forest schools. "Boys should be spending the majority of their days moving," Couture says. "If boys are sitting sedentary, there is something wrong. That's not what nature intends for their development. Children learn through play. That is the vehicle by which a child's brain develops." What adults commonly view as acting-out behavior is actually nature's alert system. "It's saying 'Alert, alert! This environment is toxic for this child,'" Couture says. "it is nature's way of saying, 'Something in this environment is going against life. It's not meeting the child's needs. The child is not at homeostasis." Though it's virtually impossible to meet a child's needs 100% of the time, our efforts to respond sensitively to our boys can empower them. When a child's needs are met consistently, they develop confidence in those around them and in their own abilities. Empowering and supporting each other is another way to empower boys. "We can create spaces that welcome our boys and noise, chaos, and activity," Jen says. "We can work together, empower each other, empower our boys, and make this world better for all of us."

A White House Gender Policy Council sounds like its purpose is to help BOTH genders-but NOT Biden's Council. His excludes boys and men and only helps girls and women! Yet, despite what Biden and his Council would have you think, boys and men are in trouble, in terms of education, jobs, fatherlessness, physical health and emotional health. Today's three guests are all members of an organization - unrelated to President Biden - called the White House Council on Boys and Men. Even before Biden became President, this organization has been working towards establishing such a Council in the White House to address the special concerns of boys and men. How ironic and sad, then, is the fact that Biden's Gender Policy Council excludes boys and men! Psychologist Dr. Warren Farrell is the author of bestselling books about male psychology, including The Boy Crisis. He's been a pioneer in both the men's and women's movements - including being elected to the board of N.O.W. Laurie A. Couture is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the author of Instead of Medicating and Punishing, and the upcoming book, Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons. She is not only an expert by training, but also through her own experience of having adopted a boy from the foster care system who ultimately committed suicide. Bill Amatneek is the author of Heart of a Man, a collection of stories written by men that gives insight into who men really are, in the hopes that it will bring men and women closer together. Each of these guests bring their own perspective and efforts towards the goal of the WHCBM, and the current campaign to get President Biden to add the needs of boys and men to his White House Gender Policy Council.
