reFramed Table Talk: Reframing Birth Parent Identity Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

Society has some stigmas around who a birth parent is, why someone would choose to place their child for adoption. These stigmas can write a story that is not the birth parent's story. As Megan Devine says, "joy and pain can coexist". Adoption is beautiful and families are made, and it is born out of loss.

"Never should a birth parent be shamed for what she chose to do -- what she found best for her and her child." ~ Katie

S1 BONUS: Talking Foster Care with Heidi Bruegel Cox Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

Emily Morehead, LPC, and Heidi Bruegel Cox, JD, talk about Heidi's passion project -- foster care. Gladney has a great project going on right now. We are trying to get as many children out of foster care as possible. Once the plan is adoption for the child, we want to help those children find homes as soon as possible.

At Gladney, we believe every child needs a place to call home and people to call family. Forever. Together, we can ensure children have permanent, loving, and caring families, because every child deserves them.

S1 E12: Reframing Your Worry Monsters Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

Emily Morehead, LPC, and Pam Dyson, LPC-S, talk about reframing anxiety in children. Anxiety is the the most common reason why children are in therapy. While some anxiety in children is age appropriate and typical, that anxiety can sometimes get out of control. The out of control anxiety is generally when parents bring their child to a therapist. So how do you differentiate between the typical anxiety of starting a new school year, meeting new people versus a chronic, consistent issue? Listen in as Pam helps us reframe the worry monsters.
