Host: Anna Webster — coaching psychologist, trainer, psychotherapist in training, and founder of Neurowise. Anna is also a parent of a child with FASD.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why standard therapeutic parenting often falls short for FASD
- Why FASD needs to be treated as a primary consideration, not a side note to trauma and attachment
- Why caregiver needs matter as much as the child's, and why generic self-care advice isn't enough
- Why space and distance can be a safe, legitimate parenting strategy for FASD - not a failure of closeness
- Why facing FASD directly, rather than avoiding it, is where the real hope lies
Anna also answers listener questions from carers on the topic, including how her SPARCS model's idea of "space" fits alongside more traditional therapeutic parenting advice.
