POST INSTITUTE ATTACHMENT FAMILY CAMP

A special multi-family intensive attachment therapy event for any family struggling with a child diagnosed as reactive attachment disorder. This event is also an opportunity for therapists to receive training in the Family-Centered Regulatory Therapy approach. Educational material included.

What were you NOT told?

 Adoption is TRAUMA. Every year thousands of children are placed for adoption into hopeful, yet completely unsuspecting homes. Many of these children come from the earliest environments of neglect and abuse. Robin Karr-Morse identified it best when she described the impact of early abuse and environment as, Ghost from the Nursery?

Even with the latest scientific findings regarding the brain and physiology, the majority of professionals do not understand that trauma can and does take place for many children during their unborn, in-utero experience. In addition, despite the life-long experience of the majority of adults adopted as children, many professionals do not recognize that even the earliest adoption creates a traumatic experience for the infant. Even the infant adopted at birth!

The earliest break from the biological caregiver is a traumatic experience that often times goes unacknowledged and not validated for life!

Furthermore, the lack of awareness given to the trauma that occurs during the adoption process is carried over into the lives of adopting families. In this manner, families are unsuspectingly led to believe that they are adopting children, whom despite their early orphanage, abuse, or neglect experience, can become normal, healthy children?

Unfortunately, though many adopted children go on to live comparatively normal and healthy lives, a large percentage struggle with interpersonal issues that are never addressed, and some struggle in nearly every area of life! Such children go on to receive numerous years of therapy and receive diagnoses ranging from Reactive Attachment Disorder and Bi-Polar, to Depression and Aspergers Disorder among many others.

How has your family been impacted?

Trauma creates an impact on the neurophysiologic system that can render a child unable to feel safe in any environment. Thereby leaving the child experiencing a constant, and prolonged state of stress or dysregulation, which correlates most accurately to the emotional state of FEAR.

Prolonged fear and stress experienced by one member of the family eventually takes its toll on every member of the family. In addition, any traumatic event that has not been integrated previously in the lives of other family members, begins to get triggered into active unconscious behavior, hence creating a perpetual "Trauma Environment" for all members of the family.

In other words, if you as the parent have experienced early traumatic stress that has not been effectively integrated into conscious awareness, then exposure to high levels of stress from another individual will cause you to re-experience the past emotions of the event in present time.

Now, there is something you can do!

If you are an adoptive parent that has been struggling with your child's behavior for years without finding a meaningful understanding for what is going on in your child's life, then you owe it to yourself and your family to attend the one year of healing.

Through paradigm shifting education, and intense emotional experiencing within a supportive environment, the Post Institute treatment team will assist your family in shifting from an operating platform of fear to a healing platform of love. The essential premise being that we only have two primary emotions love and fear. As long as you operate from a platform of fear, you will be unable to experience the healing power of love. Underlying the behavioral dynamics of families struggling with children commonly diagnosed with RAD, Bi-Polar, and Depression, to name a few, can be found the root emotion of fear. Fear must be explored, expressed, processed, and finally understood and integrated before it can be meaningfully transformed into the guiding principle of love.

“Bryan, I've been amazed over the time that I've known of you and your theory of parenting how much my daughter has healed. We still have a ways to go, but typically that is in my development.  We've both healed so much emotionally. We haven't seen my daughter?s Attachment Therapist in 14 months now. I ran into her at the grocery store last week and she couldn't believe the difference in my appearance as well as my affect. What a blessing you've been to us!!"---C.M.
