Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
As a registered family therapist, I see the parent, parents or caregivers as key to successful therapy for families. Parents are the most important figures in a child or adolescent's life. As you may know it is a very difficult task being a parent, and mistakes happen. Getting support and working with a family therapist who is experienced and qualified is critical to addressing issues in the family that are stuck in problematic patterns of reactivity. Emotionally our strongest attachments are with parents as children, and this adds to the intensity or activation. Humans cannot solve problems when they are activated because we are in a threatened state - anxiety. Seeking a helpful family therapist can help.

Suzan Erritzoe, Being One Counselling & Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, Transpersonal Counsellor DK
Parenting brings up everything unintegrated, un-dealt with in our selves will easily bring up a lot from our own childhood, and to be in the vulnerability of that, at the same time as caring for a child, depending on us, calls for gentleness and the release of the need to perform according to outer ideals and ideas. As parents, we more than anywhere else, need to okay with being imperfect, and to learn how to see, and meet with another being intimately in the midst of that.
Children read us all the time, and if what we say don't match how we "walk the talk" they get confused - more than being and doing the right thing, our children need us to be authentic and honest, so they can know us and see us. To be a role model, doesn't mean to do the right thing all the time, but to not use power where we feel lack, and instead allow them to see your humanness
