Today's episode is all about stepping out of the drama of playing various unhealthy roles inside ourselves and within our families. Ce briefly shares parts of the Karpman Drama Triangle and how replacing it with the Empowerment Triangle can save you from Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer behaviors in your family interactions. Stop the chaos by stepping out of the drama.

From Ce Eshelman:

Are you searching for a community of parents who will get you; who offer an attentive ear and open arms in the worst of times; who give you a standing ovation for the monumentally big "small steps" forward you make with your child? It is so painful to walk the jagged trail of this parenting journey alone and no one is ever alone in the Love Matters Parenting Society Therapeutic Parent Program. You will feel seen, understood, and actually deeply cared for. We know it as "love." The Society is a virtual program for parents of children who experienced trauma and others who support them or work with them professionally. You don't have to wait a minute longer. We are right here waiting for YOU!

Ce interviews Naomi Houston about her journey from being adopted from China by American parents through her recovery from complex developmental trauma.. Naomi has written a lovely account of her therapeutic recovery to date from abandonment trauma in adoption in her first book, A Glimpse into the Unknown. Naomi speaks frankly about her childhood struggles and gives her thoughts on what to do or not to do when parenting children who are struggling after adoption. I hope you enjoy the show.

I recommend this book for deep-thinking, teen readers, as well as, for young adults who have experienced trauma in their early years. It may be hard to read for some who are not used to complex sentence structures, analysis, or insight into the trauma recovery process; but, for some, it will be a lovely roadmap to freedom from self-destruction, self-loathing, and grief. There will be more books from Naomi, I feel certain, in the future. She has a beautiful, writing voice, and a sound therapeutic sensibility.

A Glimpse Into The Unknown by Naomi Houston is available now on Amazon.

Ce Eshelman interviews Ginger Healy, the Director of the Attachment and Trauma Network (ATN), a parent-created national organization supporting traumatized children and their parents. In 1995 three mothers who were parenting children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder met to support one another only to find how similar their journeys were and that they truly were “Not Alone,” ATN was born. Ginger is an incredible champion of parents of children from difficult beginnings all over the country. 

The mission of ATN could not be more aligned with Ce's mission at The Attach Place and in the Love Matters Parenting Society Therapeutic Parent Program. These are ATN's posted beliefs that resonate deeply with Ce, as every day she walks the same path with the same beliefs:

• We believe that children impacted by trauma and those with attachment disorders can heal.
• We believe that parents, who are supported and taught therapeutic parenting, are the best healing agents of their traumatized child.
• We believe that children impacted by trauma need trauma-informed, attachment-focused therapies.
• We believe that all children learn best in trauma-sensitive schools where strategies are in place to help the children and adults feel safe, stay regulated, get connected, and not be re-traumatized or triggered. We believe trauma-informing schools empower trauma-responsive educators.
• We believe that providing resources to the families from the start is the best way to minimize crises and promote healing.
• We believe that ongoing peer-to-peer support is critical to empowering caregivers and communities with strategies, resources, and strength to persevere daily.
• We believe that “touching trauma at its heart” is more than a tagline, it’s a healing mission.

In this episode, Ce tackles the often infuriating statements that come out of our children's mouths like: "I didn't do it," "I didn't take it," You never believe me," or the perfect accusation "You don't love me."  Yes, children gaslight, too. In adults it is quite damaging. In children, gaslighting is an opportunity for parents to build their child's felt sense of safety. Listen to today's episode to find out ways of handling this defense mechanism the next time you hear, "You always think I'm lying."

Ce takes us on a journey to understand the overarching principles and practices for parenting neurodivergent children.

From Ce Eshelman:

Are you searching for a community of parents who will get you; who offer an attentive ear and open arms in the worst of times; who give you a standing ovation for the monumentally big "small steps" forward you make with your child? It is so painful to walk the jagged trail of this parenting journey alone and no one is ever alone in the Love Matters Parenting Society Therapeutic Parent Program. You will feel seen, understood, and actually deeply cared for. We know it as "love." The Society is a virtual program for parents of children who experienced trauma and others who support them or work with them professionally. You don't have to wait a minute longer. We are right here waiting for YOU!

In today's episode Ce gives you a short and sweet neuroscience lesson on why kids self-sabotage so much and how parents can be the changemakers in the way they respond. There isn't anything more frustrating than wanting your child to be able to have fun at an anticipated birthday party, overnight with friends, or a trip to Six Flags, and just before the event they pull out some kind of behavior that ruins their opportunity to do it. Ce helps parents prevent their children's self-sabotage by changing their own responses to those behaviors. Thank you for listening to Unmuted Love.

In this validating conversation, Ce chats with neuropsychologist Dr. Gila Reckess to unpack what actually helps parents when parenting doesn’t follow the “normal” script. Together, they explore:

• Why parenting feels so hard (and why that makes sense) 
• The power of self-compassion for you and your child 
• How to shift from correction-heavy parenting to connection-based influence 
• What “growth mindset” looks like in real life 
• Why repair matters more than always getting it right (like any of us could)
• The truth about kids who push back against connection (and what’s actually happening underneath) 
• How to hold love AND safety boundaries when behaviors feel scary or overwhelming 
• Why sometimes parenting requires radical shifts in expectations 

You will walk away with a grounded, brain-first understanding of living better in the messy real world of parenting.
