What Attendees Had To Say
“This webinar made me cry. I feel like this gave me everything I aim to provide for my daughter. You have validated my own feelings as a parent, and give me tools to continue to support her. You have also made me feel confident in the decisions I have already made and language I currently use, as well as given me new tools and practices to try that I will take with me as she grows up and faces new challenges. I am so grateful to have found you!” – Nicole I.
Panelist Joshua Terhune, Child Therapist, offered an excellent phrase to use when seeking to validate your child’s feelings. “It makes sense that you feel that way”, a deeper suggestion than “I understand”. The panel focused on giving practical, useable tools, phrases, and advice so you’ll finish watching the webinar with real takeaways.
“It was fantastic, hearing the different perspectives and backgrounds/expertise was very helpful. The questions were also very good and specific, some of which I hadn’t thought of before.” – Kat R.
- When children find themselves caught in a state of cognitive dissonance regarding their abusive parent, how would you describe this internal conflict and its impact from the child’s perspective? Furthermore, what strategies can parents employ to support their children in resolving this cognitive dissonance?
- When a child has been enmeshed or groomed to tolerate boundary violations and desperately seeks love and validation from their emotionally abusive parent, even if assertiveness is not their inherent nature, what strategies can a caring parent employ to help their child become more assertive?
- When a child’s behavior mirrors that of their emotionally abusive parent, how can you have a direct conversation with the child about this without slandering the other parent?
“Great panelists! Great moderation and coverage of multiple questions from many attendees. I think it’s a HUGE topic that many parents are concerned about when it comes to leaving their abusive partners while trying to raise wonderful little human beings. Great content and very relatable.” – Joanne E.
