Loving the Wounded Child

Are you an adoptive parent or caregiver of a child who has experienced adversity?

Are you looking for additional support, fresh perspective, encouragement, different techniques, or new information for raising your trauma-impacted child?

Are you discouraged and worn down from caring for difficult children?

Loving the Wounded Child may be for you.

In this package you will learn:

  • About trauma and the impact it has on children
  • Why it is important to address healing the whole child: Body, Mind, and Soul
  • Where to start when you’re overwhelmed (simple, practical yet effective tips)
  • What the Spiritual side of trauma looks like, and how to address it
  • How to identify your own triggers and why it’s important to address your own past in order to parent well
  • How to identify your child’s triggers and the unmet needs that might be behind them
  • Skills to calm yourself and your child
  • Trauma-informed discipline strategies (non-traditional, yet more effective)
  • The importance of healthy relationships in healing trauma (and stepping stones to achieve)
  • How to forgive the source of your child’s trauma, and why that’s important
  • Recommended resources tailored to your specific needs

During our time together, we will identify priority areas, and develop strategies to address these needs. Along the way, I will offer perspective, new information, resources, ideas, accountability, encouragement, and prayer.

Oftentimes, when parenting children who have experienced trauma, caregivers need a safe sounding board from someone who “gets it.” In this package, I offer you that option when therapy and other professional services aren’t enough, or perhaps you’ve graduated from therapeutic services but still need some coaching to maintain, move forward, or keep from going backward.

In order to have enough time to implement steps toward transformational change, I ask that you commit to a three-month plan, to begin with, and reassess once that is completed. These can be tailored a bit to your specific needs, but in general, I offer three options:

Spaces are limited. If I do not have any current openings, you will have the option to be placed on the waiting list for my next available openings.
