Parenting Through Trauma

Parenting Through Trauma

Even on normal days, parenting is hard. After a trauma, parenting changes. Kids have new needs, and what’s most important to them changes too. But parents often feel confused and uncertain about what to do next. This podcast features four parents who have really gone through difficult times. They’ve lived through trauma, they’ve guided their children, and they have a lot of wisdom to share. Two therapists, Erin Barnett and Becky Parton, will be your narrators and your guides. They will get you started on your child’s healing journey, and they’ll help you heal too. You’ll feel more confident that you can support your kids in the way that they need.
