“Why does my kid have disproportionally big responses to things that happen?” “How can I help my child heal from trauma?” — There’s a taboo around trauma that cannot seem to be lifted, but it is crucial that we lift it so that we can heal. Today, Benoit Harpey sits down with Benjamin Perks, who’s dedicated his life to removing that taboo. A father himself, Benjamin is a UNICEF Global Advocate for ending child maltreatment and healing trauma. What most people don’t understand, he explains, is that trauma is healed through connection and love, not just therapy. Benjamin shares his years of expertise, explains the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the reciprocity of healing, and emphasizes the value of investing in support as parents. Listen in for incredibly valuable tips, advice, and practical strategies that will change the way you parent and change your life.
