9 – Adoption Trauma Defined! Part 2: How to Find Help and a Good Therapist with Jane Baker

A Conversation With Adoption Trauma Therapist, Jane Baker

Hi Neighbor!⁣⁣⁣⁣

This is Part 2 of my interview with Jane Baker. If you haven’t listened to Part 1, you can catch that in Episode 8.

As an adoptive parent, there were many times I doubted myself. I thought I had failed my boys. That kind of thinking does not serve you or your family well.

This episode is very TACTICAL. Jane will discuss treatment options for adoption trauma and some of the qualities you should look for in a therapist.

All that and SO MUCH MORE!

Hope and Healing are on the way.

TAKEAWAYS…

1. In some adopted children, you see a Pervasive Pursuit of Life on their terms.
2. As a parent, tell your adopted child you understand WHY they behave the way they do. It’s NOT okay but you understand.
3. When you have more conflict in your home than you desire, the whole family needs o go to therapy.
4. A therapist CAN NOT take you any further than they have been.
5. When you've gotten to the place where you tried everything and you're not getting the result you need, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you as a parent. It means you need more tools in your toolbox.
