Testimonial:I spoke to Rebecca for some suggestions regarding attachment with our 4 year old daughter. She was so responsive and really took the time to understand our family dynamics. Rebecca gave great suggestions for simple things we could change in our daughter's environment and in our daily parenting. We implemented these right away and the positive changes in our daughter have been priceless! Thank you Rebecca! - L.R.

Testimonial:I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Rebecca Thompson. She gave me concrete suggestions that I could implement immediately. She was supportive, encouraging and empathetic to my issues. Her advice was just what I needed to hear at this stage in my parenting. I am glad I contacted her and look forward to another session. -J.C. in Boston, MA

Testimonial:"It's amazing how many parenting books you can read that don't acknowledge that children (let alone children with trauma histories) can really bring your own issues to the forefront. Through Consciously Parenting's support and classes, I am learning to face these issues and take responsibility for my own behavior instead of just blaming my kids for their behavior. There are specific strategies to de-fuse anger and increase awareness of our negative self-talk so that we can be present for our children and create a happier family." -Adoptive mom from NY

Testimonial: I am the single mom to a 6 year old daughter that I adopted from Guatemala when she was 2. I had some small concerns about her behaviors but didn't have huge concerns until she went to kindergarten. After about a month, I became convinced that Lillie fit the description of a child with trauma history. I read Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control by Heather Forbes, LCSW, and Dr. Bryan Post, LCSW and began to implement the parenting paradigm described in the book. After 6 months in public school, Lillie refused to go anymore. She was obviously overwhelmed by school, so I began homeschooling her. I, too, felt overwhelmed by having my daughter and her severe behaviors at home with me 24/7. I had absolutely no support person or support group whatsoever. I had taken Lillie to a child psychologist in the area, but she was not trained in BCLC and did not think I should be homeschooling Lillie. I felt as though I was "twisting in the wind." So I contacted Rebecca Thompson, M.S. to explore the possibility of phone coaching. We began talking on the phone once a week in late February. I feel that these phone calls have kept me sane during this time. It is frustrating to know how you want to parent your child but can find no professional help in your area. Phone coaching solves that problem because you can live anywhere in the country and have a parenting coach who lives anywhere in the country. It amazes me that Lillie has made great strides since last February and yet the therapist who is helping her has never met her! Phone support works!
