Parents often ask what they can do if they have exhausted all of their resources trying to get their kid to change their behavior to no avail. In this week’s How To Tuesday, Dafna talks about when it might be time to ask parents to address their own behavior toward their child.
During last week’s How To Tuesday, Dafna addressed how therapists can help regulate parents during joint sessions where both parent and child are present. This week, Dafna takes that point one step further and discusses how the 3 P’s can be used to lead parent sessions.
The parents can be as emotional and intense as children about some topics we bring up during family therapy. In this How to video, Dafna addresses how to regulate parents, via a method she calls the 3Ps.
We are all made of different parts and they have different positions and feelings that can come out in specific moments. When a child compensates for feeling left out and misunderstood, they can take the perspective of those parts to explore new perspectives. In this week’s How To Tuesday, Dafna talks about how to care for all of your parts.
