Don’t you wish children really did come with an instruction manual? Caregivers of children with attachment difficulties, who have experienced childhood trauma, often don’t know that they need to parent differently to meet their child’s specific needs and help them to start making sense of the world. Seeing the Unseen is a one-stop-shop for families who are besieged.
Easy to navigate and written in a straightforward style, Seeing the Unseen is a must-have for adoptive and foster caregivers. It will also benefit anyone who has been touched by attachment disruption, including divorce.
Too often caregivers of children with challenging behaviours feel that the solution to the problem lies outside of them. Yet we all bring past wounding into our relationships.
Drawing on the latest research from both scientific fields and healing modalities, Seeing the Unseen encourages caregivers to recognise how adverse experiences and trauma in childhood lives with them, resulting in whole body dysfunction—activating harmful stress responses that keep them stuck engaging in patterns of behaviour. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviours can significantly impact vulnerable children in their care. In extreme cases, this can lead to burnout or ‘blocked care’.
In Seeing the Unseen, caregivers are invited to journey through ten steps that will forever change the lens with which they view themselves (and their loved ones), resulting in a more balanced and joyful home environment.
While this workbook is written for caregivers of adopted or fostered children, it may appeal to broader audiences such as kinship providers, stepparents, life coaches, family therapists, and social workers.
