Ep. 107: Helping Kids Discover their Superpowers with Dr. Chaitra Wirta Leiker

42 min • 17 januari 2023

An interview with Dr. Chaitra Wirta-Leiker about empowering children to be the boss of their own stories and how to find therapists who can hold those stories with curiosity and resonance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • We all get to decide how we want our stories to be shared, and why it's especially important for adoptees to have tools for responding to intrusive questions
  • The powerful connection of finding a therapist who is an adoptee
  • How to find the right therapist for your child
