Ever wonder if your trauma means you're destined to parent imperfectly? In today's episode, Theraplay expert Dafna Lender shares how all parents mess up - and that's actually okay!As a clinical psychologist and post-traumatic parent myself, I was fascinated by Dafna's perspective on how we can provide healthy childhoods despite our own wounds. She compassionately explains why parents with trauma histories often experience such crushing self-doubt and offers practical ways to rebuild connection through play. What struck me most was Dafna's story about a mother and adopted daughter who transformed their relationship over two years of treatment - proving healing is possible even in the most challenging circumstances. If you've ever frozen during a parenting moment, felt triggered by your child's behavior, or wondered if you're "too damaged" to parent well, this conversation will reassure you that repair is always possible. You'll learn why those moments when your kids push your buttons can become opportunities for growth rather than shame.Topics covered on Theraplay:How does parental trauma affect our ability to be responsive to our children's needs?Why do we feel like our children are "triggering" us, and what can we do about those moments?What happens when professionals exclude parents from their child's therapy sessions?How can theraplay help rebuild damaged relationships between parents and children?Why do parents without secure attachment models experience more self-doubt?How can we explain our trauma responses to our children in age-appropriate ways?How long does it really take to repair damaged attachments between parents and children?Connect with me on Instagram @dr.koslowitzpsychology and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel Post Traumatic Parenting.For full show notes and more resources visit https://www.drrobynkoslowitz.com/2025/05/09/theraplay-healin…ith-dafna-lender

EP 129 - Tracy Schreifels, Healing Prenatal TraumasThe thinking for infants and mental health had always been that they were too young to remember any potentially traumatic events. Upon further research, we've come to realize that although infants don't store the memories in the same way, these events are stored in the body and can affect us later on in life. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What all the letters behind Tracy's name mean and why they're thereWhat exactly is Infant Mental Health and what it all entailsWhy infants aren't too young to remember traumas and how they store themHow Tracy can help people who have experienced scary things at a young ageWhy it's never too early or too late to intervene if there is possible past traumaHow your body stores and holds onto physical traumas over timeWhy Tracy always works with children with their caregiver in the roomTracy's book recommendations for those looking to learn moreHow Brain Spotting uses a “Happy Place” for you to retreat to in your brainFAVORITE QUOTE: “If your parents are still around, maybe even asking them, ‘Did something happen when I was young that I would have had this memory or that this feeling comes up?'”Tracy SchreifelsCONNECT WITH TRACYTRACY SCHREIFELS    MS, LMFT, IMH-E (III)Holding onto hope while on the journey to healing is part of my role as your therapist.

I've been wanting my colleague Dr. Catherine Tucker to come on the pod for awhile now to discuss Theraplay, a therapeutic modality that utilizes the child-parent relationship to foster secure attachment through play-based activities. Catherine illuminates this modality, where the Practitioner guides the parent and child through playful, fun games, developmentally challenging activities, and tender, nurturing activities that helps the parent regulate the child's behavior and communicate love, joy, and safety to the child. Connecting in this way helps the child feel secure, cared for, connected and worthy. Who doesn't want that? We also talk about the power of presence, the concept of cycle starting, healing intergenerational trauma, and and the role of play in emotional regulation. We also discuss the embracing imperfection in parenting and focusing on connection over control in our relationships with our children. One of my goals in my work is to empower parents to be conscious and educated consumers as seek support for their child and themselves.

A couple of weeks ago, I was hearing over and over in my conversations with friends how much stress and confusion and YOWZA come with the holidays. I love this season. I'm probably baking something as you read these words. I'm in. AND I also know this season comes with its fair share of extra. Extra chaos, extra scramble, extra hosting, extra outpouring, even extra grief. So I asked a question online and in private conversations: If you had the luxury of having your own relationship expert on call during the holidays, what would you want to ask? Oh, man, did the floodgates open. And my guest April Bordeau knew just what to do. April is a phenomenal therapist with over thirty years of experience. She's a founder and the managing director of Care To Change, a counseling center in the Indianapolis area, and she was kind enough to join me in a late-night recording session. We tackle all sorts of things, so buckle up and listen to this super helpful and practical conversation with April Bordeau. April is licensed as a clinical social worker. She is a Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) practitioner and certified educator and a Prepare-Enrich & SYMBIS pre-marriage and marriage facilitator. She is trained in Experiential Therapy, Crisis Intervention Teams and NOVA crisis intervention, Theraplay, and the Suicide PAIR program and is certified in EMDR.

Vieraana Johanna Tervanen Voisiko lasten ja perheiden pahoinvoinnin taustalla ollakin se, että vanhemmat eivät itse ole ole aikanaan tulleet hoivatuiksi? Miten voisi kyetä antamaan sellaista, jota itse ei ole saanut? Miten voisimme hoivata läheisiämme, tai itseämme? Hoiva kantaa ja luo toivoa, se auttaa erityisesti lastensuojelun palveluiden piirissä olevia vanhempia luomaan parempaa suhdetta lapsiinsa. On tärkeää myös tiedostaa ja auttaa vanhempia ymmärtämään se, miten heillä voi jokin oma kriisi aktivoitua silloin, kun heidän lapsensa on saman ikäinen kuin milloin oma kipeä trauma on tapahtunut. Ensin täytyy siis kohdata ja hoivata vanhemmat, ja tukea vanhempaa hoivaamaan lasta ja itseään.

It is often really difficult for the professionals involved to know if a group of traumatized siblings should be kept together or separated once they've been removed from their birth families. There are so many factors to weigh in the balance such as:Do the siblings depend on each other and have they formed an unbreakable bond? Or is there intense rivalry and jealousy between them?Have the boys been encouraged to think they are more important than the girls? Will learned patterns of behaviour make re-parenting and learning new cultural norms an uphill battle?Is an older child violent to a younger one? Does one child show highly sexualised behaviour to another?How can a parent meet the different needs of each individual child within a sibling group?And how can parents successfully raise traumatized siblings so that they retain happy memories of their childhood?Social worker, academic and mother of two sibling boys, Jessica Jackson, talks from her own challenging experience with plentiful advice on how to overcome problems.

Sarah’s Intro As a parent to a young adult who was adopted through foster care and also is the parent that goes through attachment interviews and experienced supervised visits and phone calls with a child at a residential facility, I am uniquely poised to discuss what it is like to be the observer and observee in parent/child interactions. Professionally, I’m a Certified Parent Coach® whose passion is helping families with children who have experienced trauma or struggle with attachment. I started The Foster Lane Parent Coaching in 2016. My goal: Use coaching to help others avoid some of the parenting challenges my own family faced. I’ve spent over 1,500 hours researching trauma, children’s brain development, parenting strategies, and foster and adoptive parenting. I successfully completed the graduate-level Parent Coach Certification program through the Parent Coaching Institute®, have completed the initial training in Theraplay™, and continue to attend conferences on trauma-informed parenting. We talked about Sarah and her wife’s story, and their journey to becoming parents.  Things we talked about on this episode: attachment styles, how they are formed, and how they affect us today.  ACE’s Reaction vs. Response Training your brain to regain control Creating Cooperation vs. Compliance Mindset shift    Sarah’s Links The FosterLane Website   @thefosterlane on all Socials Book Recommendations   The Power of Showing Up by Dr. Dan Siegel The connected child by Dr. Karyn Purvis The Connected Parent by Dr. Karyn Purvis The Explosive Child By Dr. Ross Greene   Foster Care: An Unparalleled Journey Find All Our Links Here https://linktr.ee/fostercarenation Patreon https://patreon.com/fostercarenation Website https://fostercarenation.com Connect with us on our Facebook Page https://facebook.com/7timedad Connect on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fostercarenation/

A rich conversation about the power that play has to connect and have a harmonious relationship, to find a moment of hope and heal past trauma, and to live in this world as our own true self.They talk about Dafna’s journey into the profundity of play and her beautiful definition of play.They converse about what happens to a baby when their caregiver is not responsive or is abusive and how parents can approach a child that is damaged or has been rejected. Furthermore they cave into a dialogue around parents expectations and how they can handle them, how just one moment of play and connection can heal an extended period of disconnection, qualities of a parent that can help a disconnected child, what is the symptomatic of a healthy functioning relationship, the importance of repair and reconnecting, and how to deal with discipline.In this chapter of Inspired Evolution you will discover why we tend to play less as we get older, what attachment means to Dafna, which is the most formative period of a child, whether to embody or not the values of pace in babies, and advice to those who are parents for the first time. You will learn to play with your child in a way that establishes felt safety, increases social engagement, expands arousal regulation, and supports the development of positive self-esteem for both your child and yourself.You also will have access to different fun and caring parent/child games and activities that build attunement and understanding of each other, replicating early relationship experiences that are proven to lead to secure attachment.You will find ways to help your child discover his/her true self and ways to approach, connect and start healing your child's past trauma. You will learn how to be responsive and create a safe and secure attachment for your baby, how to repair, reconnect and restore the relationship with your child, and in moments of trouble and disagreements, you will discover the best way to accompany your child in a receptive way.“It is never too late to restore the relationship with your child”“To see your parents laughing and enjoying you, is like a lightning ball of energy”About Dafna Lender:Dafna Lender is a trainer, supervisor and consultant in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Theraplay. She is the training director at The Therapy Institute , the co-author of the book “Theraplay: The Practitioner’s Guide” and co-author of two chapters in the 3rd Edition of the book “Theraplay, Building Better Relationships Through Attachment-Based Play”She earned a Bachelor degree in Political Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a Bachelor degree in Social Work from Tel Aviv University in Israel, and a Master in Social Work from Yeshiva University in New York. Dafna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapist. She has served as the program director at The Theraplay® Institute in Evanston, IL for 16 years. She trains psychotherapists all over the world and trains in three languages English, French and Hebrew.Early in her career, Dafna worked in treatment foster care and witnessed child after child “fail” out of foster placements due to difficult behavior. Children were disruptive, unsettled and unhappy, and their caregivers felt defeated. Dafna’s sense of discouragement went away after taking the DDP training and learning direct, concrete ideas and interactions that she could apply in home with her treatment families to promote healthier, stable relationships. Dafna’s area of expertise is helping children with serious psychological problems caused by histories of abuse, neglect, trauma and/or multiple placements. By focusing on developing a child’s secure attachment with his/her caregivers, Dafna helps resolve issues in the child’s traumatic history. She has successfully treated children with a variety of backgrounds, including children raised in orphanages, with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, exposed to domestic violence and community violence and children of parents with chronic mental illness.Her aim is to help people believe that there is hope in their relationship and that they can experience happiness and connections that they thought weren’t possible. Tune In: Welcome Dafna Lender to the Inspired Evolution!: (00:00:00)Dafna’s journey into the profundity of play:(01:57)Her journey started as a social worker putting kids from 6 to 12 in pre adoptive homes, matching the family with the child, and then accompanying them on this journey hoping they would be able to live happily ever after. Nobody was prepared for the events that would happen at home when the child actually showed fear of the enemency of the parent-child relationship. Dive in and see what Dafna did to help these damaged kids and the child/parent relationship.“I went on a search to find the skills to help damaged kids”About the disruption of children’s intimacy: (04:18)When a child is born their attachment system is prime and ready to connect with a responsive primary caregiver. If that primary caregiver is not responsive or abusive, then this child is going to grow up completely distrusting and it will be very hard to be their own selves.“Damaged kids see any adult that wants to take care of them as a menace ”Approaches that work with damaged kids: (06:40)Discover the importance of acceptance, being present, and sharing basic experiences. In this chapter you will master fun, simple and sensory games for those basic experiences.“We need to give kids presence and acceptance to feel safe”How does a parent not have expectations?: (08:42)Parents constantly try to put their expectations on their child and make it so that the child bares witness to what the parent’s greatest values are. In this chapter Linda recommends what to do every time you have a conflict with your child. “Let go of expectations if you want to have a harmonious relationship with your kid”“Play” according to Dafna: (11:33)Cave into the episode and hear the most beautiful definition for “Play” and conversation around laughter. You will find out why play is important and everybody must never stop doing it, and you will discover how important it is when trying to connect.“Play is the energy that gives kids and adults hope”Sporadic moments of connection that heal extended periods of disconnection: (23:38)Replicating moments of hope can heal extended periods of disconnection in kids. Follow the episode to hear how it works.More qualities of a parent that can help a disconnected child: (26:37)Find out the importance of curiosity and empathy. All about connecting parents and child and making it a harmonious connection.“Curiosity and empathy can reduce conflicts between everybody”Positive outcome of applying this pace methodology: (30:37)Tap in and hear what Dafna has to say about repair and reconnecting, the importance of parents stepping back and figuring out why they want to be in control and the importance in how parents treat themselves.“Reconnect and show your kids you still want them in your circle”How to discipline without needing to “repair”: (34:30)“Separate the consequence from the actual connection with the child”Why do we tend to play less as we get older: (39:21)“There is part of society that compresses our energy and creativity to connect, play and dance”“Attachment” according to Dafna and what it underpins: (41:56)“Early experiences of security, both the joy and that somebody will take care of me and protect me, is the platform for so much of our human experience ”The most formative period of a child's life and when it ends: (44:10)Cave in and find out which is the most formative period of a child, and why you must be receptive and not reactive.“It is never too late to restore the relationship with your child”Embodying values of pace for those ages from the third trimester to the age of two: (48:09)Embodying values of pace in babies is different. Discover what Dafna means about nervous systems matching and co-regulating“A body trying to vibrate on the same level as the babies internal pain, makes the babies pain lessen”About nervous systems co-regulating and intergenerational trauma:(50:10)Awareness in initial parenting:(52:34)“There is no manual, you learn as you go”Last words of inspiration and hope: (55:22)“Change is completely possible even in the most impossible situations”Dafna Lender’s books:“Theraplay, The Practitioner’s Guide” by Vivien Norris & Dafna Lender: https://amz.run/4Gpu “Theraplay, Building Better Relationships Through Attachment-Based Play”: https://amz.run/4Gpv Mentioned resources:The Theraplay Institute:https://theraplayinc.com/ Connect with Dafna Lender:Website: https://www.dafnalender.com/ Company website: https://theraplay.org/team/dafna-lender/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dafna-Lender-107175947813271/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrdVHsE36zdpGWB0XX2-kkA Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYvBrxAQEowA57jGC5TQqgg Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dafna-lender-31a09411/ Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/ Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Quand la famille s'agrandit, on rêve tous d'harmonie, de câlins, d'une tribu soudée. Au lieu de ça, on se retrouve souvent à arbitrer entre des enfants mécontents « parce qu'elle a eu une plus grosse part de gâteau »… quand on ne hurle pas sur le “grand”, parce qu'il vient de blesser le “petit”. Dorothée Saada reçoit Margaux Michiels, psychologue clinicienne, formée au Theraplay (une thérapie basée sur les liens d'attachement). Grâce à elle, on comprend mieux les besoins de l'aîné, on apprend à l'écouter vraiment, et on fait le plein d'ocytocine, l'hormone de l'amour, qui apaise tous les conflits. A lire pour aller plus loin : “Frères et sœurs sans rivalités”, d'Adèle Faber et Elaine Mazlish, aux Editions du Phare. Galère sa mère est un podcast de Parents.

Welcome to episode 4 of my new podcast 'Agents of Hope'. My name is Tim Cox. I am a trainee Educational Psychologist and I am passionate about psychology, hope and society.  This podcast aims to promote hopeful thinking and conversation about positive change in the field of applied educational psychology, education and wider society. If you are interested in the podcast you can subscribe on your podcast streaming platform, follow the Agents of Hope Facebook page or follow me on twitter @timceducation.Episode #4In this episode, I speak to my colleague and deskmate, Dr Amelia Taylor. Amelia talks about her journey from her upbringing in rural Somerset, chancing upon Educational Psychology and a bike ride that changed everything. Amelia sees her role as Educational Psychology through the lens of Polyvagal theory and has recently become a trainer in Theraplay.  If you are interested in Amelia's ideas you can follow her on twitter @lifecyclespsych.During our discussion, Amelia helps me to understand the principles and theory of Polyvagal theory and how that relates to resilience, Theraplay, Amelia's love of mountain biking and my love of music. Our discussion helps me to understand how the nervous system can be integrated into an ecological understanding of resilience and how the idea maps to other neuroscientific ideas.  Amelia also talks about her new intervention for teenagers combining mountain biking and we discuss how the theory that underpins Theraplay could be applied to other outdoor pursuits and sports. We conclude by trying to tackle a tough question from the TEP Facebook community about therapeutic approaches, evidence-based practice and ecological psychology. This discussion was a real learning experience for me, so many ping moments. I hope that you enjoy the episode as much I enjoyed recording it. Suggested ReadingDana, D. A. (2018).

COMPLEX TRAUMA AND ADOPTION Why does no one talk about kids who are traumatized being raised by parents who are traumatized? And if that’s not complicated enough, what if the kids are adopted?  Who can possibly sort out those issues, and who can help the folks (and there are more of them than you think) who are dealing with all those issues? AND how does all that impact the rest of us? Robyn Gobbel, LCSW, RPT-S specializes in complex trauma, attachment, and adoption and she joins us to talk about such convoluted problems.   Robyn’s diverse clinical training includes EMDR (including EMDR adapted for children with attachment trauma), Somatic Experiencing, DEEP Experiential Therapy, and Theraplay.  She is a Trust Based Relational Intervention® Educator and a Circle of Security Parent Educator.  Robyn is a dedicated student of attachment theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology.   Join us as we talk about the trauma, the kids, the parents and the neuroscience of healing children and families.
