A 3 Hour Online Workshop || Wednesday, July 30th @ 11-2:15pm eastern (includes 15 minutes break)
(Really, anyone who works with “resistant” parents)
the way we conceptualize caregiver behaviors that are often labeled ‘resistant’?
What if we could understand the brain-science behind behavior?
Not just of the kids we work with- but their parents!
What if we could stop feeling ineffective,
worried that we should really just quit our job and work at a coffee shop.
I mean…surely they get a discount on coffee?!
What if we could learn ways to welcome ‘resistant’ behaviors
from parents and caregivers because we are truly curious and not intimidated or frustrated?
We’d feel better, and so would our clients!
families who are stressed, frustrated, or “just done” with their child’s behaviors.
By the end, you’ll confidently be able to
Reframe the “Resistant” Behaviors of Parents & Caregivers
Increase Connection with the Most Challenging Parents & Caregivers
Through the connection and co-regulation you’ll be able to offer, parents will be easily be able to put on their ‘x-ray’ vision goggles to see beyond and beneath the behaviors of their children.
A new way to conceptualize resistant behavior from the parents and caregivers of your child clients
Handouts that are NOT just the powerpoint slides in hand-out form. These workbook-style handouts are intentionally designed to support your learning and integration of the material both during the workshop and after.
Plus, you’ll have had a pretty fun afternoon with me and colleagues around the world who love kids and families as much as you do.

After 20 years as a therapist, I spend my days as an educator, trainer, author, podcaster, and consultant.
I’m a little obsessed with studying the relational brain and then teaching everyone who will listen alllllllll about it.
Understanding what’s underneath behavior has changed everything about how I work with kids and families.
Especially the hard ones. I mean let’s be honest- the easy ones aren’t usually why we take trainings.
Working with parents doesn’t have to be hard, scary, or intimidating.
I love working with parents, caregivers, and families.
You can love working with families, too. Seriously.

Workshop Description:
Many psychologists and therapists report that working with resistant and uncooperative parents of child clients is the most stressful part of their job. This stress contributes to compassion fatigue and decreased satisfaction in our work. Some therapists and psychologists even leave the field due to the stress of working with ‘resistant’ parents. Psychologists and therapists can rediscover confidence and contentedness in their work by applying the theory of the autonomic nervous system to their clients, seeing their resistant and uncooperative behaviors as signs of stress. Workshop participants will learn a step-by-step process for connecting with — and setting boundaries with — even the most challenging parent or caregiver.
