Back to EpisodesEp. 77: Q&A! After experiencing post-adoption depression, my child and I are struggling. I need help!
Description
"I experienced post-adoption depression when my son was adopted as a newborn. Now he has some behaviors that make it hard for me to parent with compassion. How do we get out of this stuckness?"
This is such a brave and vulnerable and honest question. Thank you for trusting as well as trusting all my listeners to hold you and your son's pain.
Regular podcast listeners won't be surprised that I start off by talking about self-compassion! I have some thoughts about the important of everyone processing their grief, as well as how to support this parent's son is expressing authentic and valid feelings without being hurtful.

Underneath every behavior is something happening in the body, specifically in the nervous system. When we support the body first, behavior often begins to shift. Even for kids who don't have a sensory processing disorder!
