Parenting Beyond Trauma

Parenting Beyond Trauma is a warm, practical guide for parents who carry the weight of their own trauma into their most important role. The book helps readers understand how unresolved trauma shows up in everyday parenting and teaches them to re-shape it to find healing across generations.

Through reflective exercises, short meditations (available in audio online), hands-on practice and relatable examples, readers learn to cultivate self-care, self-compassion, calm bodies and clear thinking. Less desirable parenting behaviours are understood through a parts perspective to reduce shame and offer genuine empowerment for healing. Evidence-based practices for topics such as discipline, communication, attachment and boundaries are offered in a trauma-informed, empathetic tone.

This book invites the reader to develop deeper, more connected relationships with their children. It offers them the tools to find meaningful, lasting change for themselves and generations to come.
