Healing from Parental Alienation & Childhood Pain
Navigating Parental Alienation and Healing from Childhood Trauma
Parental alienation and childhood trauma can leave deep scars—emotionally, mentally, and physically. If you are an adult who is processing the overwhelming impact of an abusive relationship or the effects of parental alienation, you’re not alone. You deserve a space where you can heal, process your feelings, and move forward with practical tools and compassionate support.
What I Offer
At BACS, I specialize in providing individual counseling for adults who are navigating the complex emotions and painful realities of parental alienation and childhood trauma. Through trauma-informed care, we’ll explore how your past experiences—whether related to family dynamics, abusive relationships, or emotional neglect—are affecting your present life, especially your parenting.
My Approach
I utilize a blend of therapeutic techniques* tailored to your specific needs:
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): To help you manage intense emotions, build emotional resilience, and regulate your responses during difficult situations.
- Person-Centered Therapy (PCT): To create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace.
- Motivational Interviewing: To empower you to make positive changes in your life and foster a sense of hope for the future.
- Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI): Focused on providing practical support for parents navigating the impact of trauma, equipping you with strategies for healthier relationships with your children.
Through these therapeutic approaches, we can work together to process trauma, build emotional resilience, and find healthy ways to navigate the challenges of parenting in difficult circumstances.
How I Can Help
- Healing from Trauma: I’ll help you understand how your past experiences—whether from childhood or a toxic relationship—affect your current well-being. We’ll work to unravel the pain and create a path toward healing.
- Parenting Support: Parenting through the lens of trauma can be overwhelming. Using TBRI techniques, I’ll support you with practical, trauma-informed parenting techniques that nurture both your healing and your child’s well-being.
- Emotional Validation: As you process the complexities of parental alienation, I’ll ensure your experiences are heard and validated, helping you regain a sense of control and self-worth.
Who I Work With
I focus on working with adults, particularly those who are struggling with the emotional fallout of parental alienation and childhood trauma. My services are for parents/individuals who are dealing with the emotional strain of alienation tactics. If there’s a need for legal or custody-related support—this is not something I offer. Instead, I provide the emotional healing and parenting support you need to rebuild your sense of self and create healthier relationships with your children.
Why Choose Me?
With years of experience in trauma-informed therapy, I offer a compassionate, collaborative approach to healing. I’m here to guide you through your healing journey with patience, understanding, and practical tools that make a real difference.
You don’t have to navigate this on your own. Let’s take the next step together and work toward a future of healing, clarity, and empowered parenting.
