Therapy Talks Podcast

This week on Therapy Talks we will be discussing the challenges and benefits of adoption, how to deal with behavioral challenges, and what post-adoption support looks like. We will also be exploring the impact of trauma and how it can cause emotional dysregulation in children, the importance of secure attachment, and how emotion coaching can help children understand and manage their emotions.

Our incredible guest Heather Toews is a therapist with a passion for working with adoptive families. Heather has spent the past 10 years in the field and currently works in the area of mental health with children, youth, and families. She has developed a trauma-informed, attachment-based parenting program for parents and caregivers who have experienced trauma and attachment disruption. Heather will be talking about her trauma-informed parenting course and why it is important for parents and caregivers to have access to this type of support.
