Have you ever heard of attachment based family therapy? On this week’s episode of Embracing Your Season, host Paige Clingenpeel invites Dr. Suzanne Levy who is an internationally renowned licensed clinical psychologist, co-developer of the Attachment Based Family Therapy and co-owner of the ABFT International Family Institute. Dr. Levy shares an abundance of information on attachment styles, encourages us in the fact that we all mess up as parents and teaches us how to recover from those mistakes.
Paige’s Takeaways:
- Addressing the needs of our child is showing them that they are worthy of love and protection. If they have that when they are little, they will grow to understand that there are trusted adults out there and we as parents should be one of those trusted adults.That will create a solid foundation of identity development.
-Help them define emotions.
-Meet them where they are at.
-Identify emotions. Don’t be scared of the emotions, go deep with them.
-Continue to show they are safe and your love is unconditional.
- We only have to do it well 40% of the time. Accept ownership when we mess up the other 60% of the time. Apologize for the incorrect response to them. This builds trust and makes them feel safe and valuable.
