Description

When some parents discover their child is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, this may halt, or even destroy, the narrative they have unknowingly placed on their child(ren). If left unprocessed, it can lead to destructive parenting practices. This is a critical time for all members of the family unit. In this recording, view Carmen Jimenez-Pride to learn not only how to meet each family member where they are at, but to help parents understand and acknowledge how their prewritten narratives and extreme feelings of grief, loss and fear can affect their parenting techniques.

Through IFS therapy, play therapy, and sand tray skills you’ll be able to:

  • Assist parents in exploring their parts and gain an understanding of the child’s parts
  • Help parents understand how their prewritten narratives and extreme feelings of grief, loss and fear can affect their parenting and harm their child

At the end of the session, you'll leave with therapeutic interventions that encourage a healthy dialogue, reestablish a strong family core, and renew stable family structures.
