🌀 EMDR Therapy – for trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming experiences
🧸 Integrated Play Therapy + EMDR – supporting children through play & healing
🧠 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – building new ways of thinking & coping
💬 Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – designed for trauma recovery
🌱 Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) – for children, teens, and families
⚡ Solution-Focused Brief Therapy – highlighting what’s working and building on it for lasting results

When conflict hits the news, parents might need to explain war to their children.

How we use language is really important. When we say ''how was school/work today?'' It can be really hard for their brains to break the experience down into its different parts and give you an answer - that is partly why we get responses like It was fine, I don’t know, Ok or equally no answer at all!

Work with their processing, not against it.

If your child is struggling with anxiety, this is a power technique to help with mindfulness! I recommend practicing this skill a few times together for it to become familiar to them. Also, deep breathing can be integrated into this skill by adding 2-4 deep breaths between each of the senses.

This is helpful for kids and adults!

we have all been there.. your child is having a full blown tantrum or meltdown at the most inconvenient time in the most inconvenient place. you throw a hail mary with a "let's just make it to the car and you can have (insert reward here)". they respond by screaming louder.. 😅🤪why doesn't that work most of the time?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
when a child's brain is in survival mode and using the emotional part of their brain (think of it as their logical brain is "offline" during a tantrum or meltdown), they are unable to reason in that moment. they cannot process or understand rewards, consequences, or reason. instead of attempting to use bribes during a tantrum or meltdown, recognize that your child is in survival mode and needs connection and understanding. this might look different for each kiddo and you know yours best! some general tips are: use a quiet, calm, and steady voice when speaking. get down on their level and (if your kiddo is responsive to it) get in close proximity. model slow deep breaths. connect to the sensory part of the brain with a tactile fidget, soft animal to cuddle, etc. once your child's logical brain is back "online" and they are emotionally regulated, then reasoning can be used to talk about what happened and what choices can be made next time!
