Description:
A child who is traumatized, grieving, or loses a parent can feel unsafe, disloved, and may be unable to trust their family. This can cause relational injury and sometimes even break the attachment bond. Children, not having the words to express how they feel, display the hurt in maladaptive ways — aggression, rage, defiance, oppositional behaviors, shutting down, hiding away, or numbing. Shame is a factor for the parent. Shame that they can’t “parent away” the hurt and the misbehavior—that their love isn’t “good enough”.
How do we as therapists, help families begin repairing and rebuilding the lost connection/disruption?
