PDF document contains link to video and subsequent handouts. • If you’re a parent or caregiver, are you ashamed and bewildered by your lack of compassion? If you’re a professional, are you confused by parents who seem resistant to your suggestions? There is neuroscience behind why parents may feel ineffective and may experience a sense of apathy called blocked care. Blocked care is a self-protective mechanism in a parent’s nervous system activated by excessive stress. This suppresses the higher brain functions needed for caregiving, causing their nervous system to develop a defensive stance toward their child. In this session, we'll use neuroscience to explain how parents can shed their shame and make powerful changes, so they can reclaim the compassionate parent they want to be.
