Parent Coaching is Trauma-Informed

The trauma-informed parent looks at rebuilding relationships from the inside out versus the outside in. Instead of focusing on rewards and punishments, it creates real change through emotional safety, connection, and regulation. Parenting tools will be provided that use the parent as the source of grounding and regulation. The parent must understand their own trauma history and respond to themselves and the child in ways that prevent retraumatization.

    Lead Family Healer

    Ron Huxley, LMFT

    I'm Ron Huxley, your lead Family Healer. I started FamilyHealer.tv in an effort to reach more families who are dealing with the challenges of Trauma, Anxiety, and Parenting. My personal mission is to provide Trauma-Informed tools for individuals and organizations that can empower and transform. I am a licensed Marriage and Family with 30+ years of experience as a Clinician, Mental Health Director, and Trauma-Informed Trainer. I have 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren (so far) and I was one of the earliest adopters of online education and therapy way before it was cool or acceptable. I believe that mental health issues are the next global pandemic and we are in desperate need of the tools necessary to stop the growing dilemma of toxic stress, fear, suicide, substance abuse, violence, and hatred our world is suffering. I have a strong personal faith and I bring powerful principles for inner healing to my work as an individual therapist/trainer and online courses. Don't worry, I don't preach but I do use some universal truths to help us heal body, mind, and spirit. I hope you enjoy this course...
