The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}
It's hard to write a summary of this episode because it is so rich with goodness.
Mark Vatsaas is a dad and parent coach for parents of kids with challenging behaviors. He's compassionate, clear, articulate, and has a knack for seeing straight through to the heart of the manner (that's my observation of him!!)
There are so many brilliant sound bytes in this episode. It's long but you are going to want to listen to the whole thing.
Mark gives us a peek into his process as a parent coach and describes how he often sees these four themes emerge in his work with struggling parents:
1. Attachment and our drive for survival
2. How our emotions help us navigate our world
3. Defendedness
4. How parents show up- and specifically how they send cues of safety and connection to their children
There are a few tears, some laughter, and by the end you will understand by Mark's business is called Seen and Heard. Just listening to this episode will help you feel both seen and heard. Promise.
To learn more about Mark's work, head to www.SeenandHeard.coach. He offers a free 90 minute consultation for parents- no obligation to schedule any additional sessions.
