SEEING THE UNSEEN | A HANDBOOK FOR CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN WITH ATTACHMENT WOUNDS

Don't you wish children really did come with instructions? Caregivers of children with attachment difficulties, who have experienced childhood trauma, often don't know that they need to parent differently to meet their child's specific needs and help them to start making sense of the world. Seeing the Unseen is a one-stop-shop for families who are besieged.

> Learn the founding principles of attachment and trauma theory.
> Understand why it's important to put on your oxygen mask first.
> Discover how to become a trauma detective.
> Access practical strategies to tackle behaviours--from sleep issues to sibling rivalry, manipulation to miscommunication.

Easy to navigate and written in a straightforward style, Seeing the Unseen is a must-have for adoptive and foster caregivers. It will also benefit anyone who has been touched by attachment disruption, including divorce.

(Available in paperback format)

Reviews:

"This is a must read for all parents and teachers especially those charged with supporting adoptive, foster care, neglected or overwhelmed children. From every angle, Felicia helps us understand the wound and specifically what we can do about it in concise, practical terms to enhance our ability to restore a child's well-being, empowerment, and healing. Brava!" ~ Dr. Diane Poole Heller (PHD)

“WOW! Felicia has packed so much information into this handbook. I have intensely educated myself over the last three years and have finally diagnosed my infant-adopted twin teenage girls with developmental trauma; despite being with seen by multiple mental health professionals from age 5-13! [It] is well-written and explained. It will be well received within the adoption and fostering community.” ~ Christine B (adoptive parent)

Thank you for sending us your amazing book to read. All caregivers need to be armed with this information before they start their caregiving journey. ~ Rob Surtees (Caring Families Aotearoa)
