This workshop speaks to the unique emotional journey of adoptive parents. Research and clinical experience informs us that adoptive parents, particularly those parenting children with a history of abuse and trauma, have a unique set of emotional experiences.
Adoption brings unique and powerful dynamics into the parent-child relationship. Parents often find themselves triggered by the behavior of their children and reacting in ways that are unexpected and upsetting. Understanding where the feelings come from, what they mean, and how to manage them effectively, is essential to being able to parent effectively.
