An alternative option is to follow the generic course by going to the free YouTube videos 1 Introduction - Session 2; Session 3; Session 4; Session 5; and if you would like some personalised support during or after completing the course, contact me for some individual, bespoke sessions.
The running time of the course (which is comprised of 5 videos) is about an hour and a half in total, but followed diligently, that is, including the reflection activities, it will take a few hours. As you complete each section, please remember to like and subscribe, comment on each video and share with others you think might benefit.
The course will:
- Help parents understand the roots of tension, friction and other challenging behaviours
- Support parents and young people to re-establish / consolidate healthy attachment relationships
- Support parents to explore the origins and impact of their parenting styles, try new responses and parent more consciously.
What could be more satisfying than engaging in life long personal growth along with your children. Tensions and conflicts are part of life but they can be sources of profound growth, they need not be a dominant and painful feature of family life.
Family/Parent Coaching
Facilitative Coaching for Parents with dependent children
Connect Relate Grow (CRG) coaching is an approach that explores the needs and feelings behind behaviour and relationship challenges. By understanding the dynamics, and learning strategies to reconnect with your young person, positive communication is facilitated and relationships are developed in which personal growth can occur for all and everyone can feel like a winner.
For parents who seek change in the behaviour and or mental wellbeing of their young people, parent coaching can be a fruitful approach.
This approach
- is inclusive - adults and children/young people have a voice and take responsibility
- develops skills for meeting life challenges for the whole of life
- is appropriate for everyone regardless of external or internal challenges
- increases self-esteem
- promotes more rewarding relationships in the home and in the world
Family/Adult Estrangement
Estrangement of adult children and a parent, or of adult siblings, can result in 'ambiguous grief' or 'living grief'. When a loved one dies there is a process of grieving that society recognises and supports and eventually, the grief becomes an integrated part of life without the physical existence of the loved one in it. But when someone chooses to have their life without you in it, this brings never-ending painful, uncertainty.
Often, with estranagement, it feels like there is an expectation from yourself or others that you should be 'getting over it' at some point
Estrangement is 'disenfranchised grief' it is not recognised by society as the deep and real source of pain that it is. It often carries a sense of shame and judgement so is difficult to talk about and while sense of hope can be a source of positivity, it can also lead to remaining stuck in a place of frozen disharmony.
While there are no miracle cures and the pain cannot be extinguished wholly and forever, it can be diminished as we learn to grow and live life alongside it.
It is realistic to hope that life can still be meaningful and positive and joyful.
ADULT FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
Relationship struggles can happen between friends, work colleagues, siblings, extended family relations...
Two people don't have to be life partners to benefit from relationship counselling together.
It may not be possible for both parties in a relationship struggle to attend counselling together for a whole variety of reasons, but it can be worthwhile to talk with a counsellor individually, with a focus on the problem relationship.
Solving the problem between parties is sometimes possible, but not guaranteed. Reframing it or understanding it or learning to respond differently are all possible and can help with finding a way to move forward with more peace about it.
Whether you feel confused, angry, aggrieved, hurt, lost, frustrated in any relationship, talking, challenging and exploring narratives is the first step to change. Healthy relationships are not about being the same as the other but how difference is navigated.
