Parenting Trauma

Parents everywhere seek a close emotional bond with their babies. They also strive to develop a parenting style that works with their values. Some parenting models favor treating children as little adults to be reasoned with. Others take an approach that stresses rule-following. They all aim to create self-reliant adults who can maintain healthy relationships and go on to have families of their own.

Are you going through a moment when you feel guilty not crying after a loss? Drawing on her own recovery from loss and from seven years of research on neurodevelopment and mental performance, Chelsea Berrie helped hundreds of survivors to move forward through trauma in the local community and is providing her answers to such questions in her book. Her book, 9 Steps Toward Healing acknowledges the myths, misconceptions, and social issues we face when dealing with grief, and instead provides a compassion-driven toolbox of ideas and activities to help listeners cope.

People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken. They have been told this by countless people. Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people, and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them. They are just missing skills. This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises. Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.
