Post Institute

For Family-Centered Therapy

Home

Reactive Attachment Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bi-Polar, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are all behaviors that bring parents to The Post Institute. Both parents and professionals alike who are parenting and working with adopted as well as foster, and biological children come to the Post Institute seeking hope.

Here you will find education, inspiration, and guidance for seeing your child differently than the traditionally defined behavior modification, consequences, restraint, and heavy psychiatric medication approach.

The Post Institute strives to provide you common sense love-based tools and techniques to help you begin improving your relationship with your attachment challenged, defiant child immediately. We offer many educational resources for helping you to learn what is needed for embracing and implementing the love-based, attachment parenting approach that has made Bryan Post, the founder and pioneer, a common name in thousands of homes around the world.

Bryan, I just wanted to thank you for coming this week. I feel for the first
time in 4 years that the school finally understands my daughter’s situation.
Your visit with the school made such a difference. We look forward to working with our daughter in dealing with the trauma
experienced. Since you began consulting with us, we feel empowered to make
a difference in helping our daughter heal. Thanks,
L.R.- Texas

Support Group

Hello, B., I went to an adoption support group meeting last night and guess who was the topic of conversation? B. Bryan Post and family centered regulatory parenting! The therapist that runs the group (we used to co-facilitate it, but I had to drop out for awhile) was in your workshop at the conference. Your ideas really helped in turning her attitude around. She used to be much more cynical and almost "sneaky" in her approach for parents, but last night she had much more of a compassionate approach. It was so refreshing. I felt like I had always…

Dear Bryan: I thought I would write you a letter on my feelings of what you have done for me and my family. Your book is an expression of you and your work which we have been blessed to get to experience. After years of therapy, what amazed me was how quickly you got to the core of the problem, helped us to dig down very deep to look at it, to express it and heal from it. You made us get honest with ourselves, to stop blaming others for our problems and realize it takes work and commitment to…

Last Spring, my family was in complete chaos. The school was threatening to send my 8 year-old daughter to alternative school because of her defiant behavior with her teacher and poor interaction with her peers. My daughter had experienced trauma at the age 5. From that point in time, she had great difficulty coping in the school environment. Her original therapist worked with her concentrating on finding out her trauma experience. Due to her young age, we agreed to stop the sessions after 10 months without her learning how to cope with the trauma experience.

Letter to Potential Post Institute Families We are grateful for the opportunity to pen this open letter to you. We,
along with our four children, completed Bryan's family intensive in May of
2005. To truly convey the impact this therapeutic intensive had on our family, it
would be best to first share with you what brought us to Florida for parent boot
camp and then on to Oklahoma for the family intensive from our home in
Northern California.

Dear Bryan, It has been some time since I attended your conference in Indianapolis with my sister but I wanted to take the time to thank you for your work! I am currently writing my Master's Thesis on RAD and the spiritual gifts inherent in the disorder and I am using your work to highlight the prenatal physiological formations of the stress response that is so evident in RAD disordered persons. I am finding that your idea of looking at the person as being fundamentally 'scared' rather than angry is so helpful in my personal training as a therapist as…

Dear Bryan, I thought to myself "What title should I give to you?" You are the "Last Therapist", the greatest honor you can have in someone's life. After work with you, I am able to continue on my own. I was running out of fingers and toes in counting the therapist I had seen in my lifetime. When you introduce yourself you need to say "I'm Bryan Post, your Last Therapist". N.T.- Oklahoma

Thanks

Hi Bryan, I enjoyed meeting up with you at the ATTACh conference. Your workshop
related to my family to a tee. We've been through all the breakthrough
holdings, but I've felt (for too long now) like we've been so stuck in
moving forward. Your Stress Model™ and explanation of our two little
"stress bombs" has really clarified the approach my husband and I need to take
from here. I really like the work you've done and the parenting model
you've developed. And....this past week was MUCH better! Your…

Dear Bryan, I just wanted to send you a brief message expressing my thanks and appreciation for the workshop that you presented, in Baton Rouge, on yesterday. It was very informative, refreshing and so enlightening to have a different viewpoint to process on human behavior. There was so much logic in what you presented in terms of stress factors being the primary contributor to behaviors that are viewed to be disruptive due to organic or other factors. Your presentation was awesome! Thanks for the CD, also. I listened to it, on today, and it exceeded my expectations.
I shared…
