143 // Overcoming the Effects of Trauma in Children with Jolene Philo Pt 1
Is your child nonverbal, but you know they have experienced trauma? As a parent, do you need support to help your child through the fear? Have you wondered if there are ways to reprogram the nervous system after trauma, to stop PTSD? I have good news for you. Today Jolene Philo and I dig into trauma and PTSD today, explaining the difference between trauma and PTSD, talking about the various symptoms that accompany PTSD, and sharing various treatment methods that can help in the recovery of trauma. Even if your child is non-verbal, there are ways to help them heal if they have experienced fear or some form of trauma due to medial or therapeutic interventions in the past. As a busy homeschooling or special needs parent, it’s not always simple to discern if the anxiety, sleep struggles, or emotional meltdowns are a passing phase in development or a trauma that needs to be addressed and healed. As Christian parents we know the value of stewarding and raising our children to be emotionally and mentally healthy, and to help bring them closer to Christ during the childhood journey. Understanding how to support them through the fears they have and to process the emotions well is a gift to the entire family. If you think it is possible that your child is struggling with a trauma, or maybe even PTSD, today you will get some answers that can bring you hope, peace, and direction. Grab a notebook and a hot Chai Tea, let the kids go play, and let’s dive in! XOXO, Katie Connect with Me: https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeart Jolene’s Website: https://differentdream.com
