Interracial Adoption Pt. 2
RAD Parenting Podcast
In this episode, we’re continuing the conversation about interracial adoption with Jena and her daughter. There really are so many little things happening that we don’t think about when blended families come together. Finding and building community with others who have a similar ancestral background as the adopted child is very beneficial though. Most importantly, we need to make sure the child’s needs are being met. That may mean seeking out additional support, asking for help, and being an active listener to really understand your child. Adoption is an incredible thing,...

What Therapy is Really About at Full Circle Family Counseling
RAD Parenting Podcast
As we move into 2023, I want to talk about what you can expect from therapy when we work together. At Full Circle Family Counseling, you won’t find ‘traditional’ therapy that is solely client-driven. Instead, the entire family is very actively involved, because everyone is being affected by what’s happening in the home. It's really important to be committed to being fully involved in therapy. It’s also perfectly okay to have really hard feelings about what’s happening in your home too (that’s why you’re here after all). In this episode, I’m sharing more about the...

Decompressing After the Holidays - Guided Meditation
RAD Parenting Podcast
The holiday season can be fun, but it can also be a busy and stressful time for so many of us - especially as parents. If you feel like you need to relax and decompress after the holidays, I have a guided meditation to help you do just that. In this episode, I want you to close your eyes (or at least soften them), take in some deep breaths, and really notice how your body is feeling. As you begin paying attention to your different senses, give yourself permission to simply take note of what’s going on around you, and really take it all in. You’re here for a reason, and you...
info_outlineAs a parent of a RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) child, it is no surprise to feel overwhelmed during the holiday season as you plan time with extended family. What do you tell your in-laws, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or siblings that may not give you the support you need?
In this episode, I share advice for making your holiday run much smoother by educating your extended family as well as helping your RAD child feel safe and secure. This will allow your child to be able to move throughout the busy day while confidently having fun with the family.
