The Gift Our Children Are to Our Healing Process -Interview w/ Heather T. Forbes

In honor of Mother's Day, parenting consultant, coach and author Heather T. Forbes will be focused on helping mothers learn to stay regulated, calm, and in a loving state when their children have challenging behaviors. Mothering is the most difficult "job" on this planet. Heather T. Forbes, LCSW, is the founder and owner of the Beyond Consequences Institute. Forbes has worked with nationally recognized attachment professionals in the field of trauma and attachment since 1999. She is an internationally published author on the topics of adoptive motherhood, raising children with difficult and severe behaviors, and self-development. Forbes lectures, consults, and coaches parents throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, working to create peaceful, loving families. She is passionate about supporting families by bridging the gap between academic research and "when the rubber hits the road" parenting. Much of her experience and insight on understanding trauma, disruptive behaviors, and adoption-related issues comes from her direct mothering experience of her two adopted children.
