Copy of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) Parent Practice Lab (5 sessions)
The DDP Parent Practice Lab will help caregivers better understand how trauma, attachment disruptions, and past experiences can affect a child’s emotions, relationships, and behavior. Throughout the five weeks, caregivers will learn and practice:
- Understanding blocked trust and the needs underneath challenging behaviors
- Using PACE—Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy—to strengthen connection
- Recognizing signs of emotional dysregulation and supporting children with co-regulation
- Responding to shame, anger, rejection, and other trauma-related behaviors
- Balancing connection, boundaries, structure, and correction
- Reflecting on caregiver stress and maintaining openness during difficult interactions
- Building opportunities for repair after conflict or disconnection
The lab is interactive and provides caregivers with practical strategies they can use during everyday parenting situations. Participants will also have opportunities to reflect, practice new responses, ask questions, and connect with other caregivers in a supportive environment.
