Parenting with PTSD is an anthology and workbook for parents who are survivors of childhood abuse. Editors Joyelle Brandt and Dawn Daum are survivors of childhood abuse working to break the cycle for their own families. Raising children as an abuse survivor is often a lonely and isolating experience, as the triggers and flashbacks of abuse can be hard for non-survivors to understand. When they were looking for stories of how other survivors coped, and couldn't find any, they decided that something needed to change. So together they started an online community specifically for parent survivors, and started collecting essays to create Parenting with PTSD. Breaking the silence allows for an honest conversation about the lifetime journey of healing from childhood trauma. This is a combination of essays, journal questions, and recommended resources. It is intended to be a starting point to more conversations about how we can heal both individually and within our families, communities, and institutions. Our Mission: 1. To build a supportive community for parenting survivors, normalize the PTSD responses they may be having, and share resources for healing from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or other traumatic events. 2. To educate professionals working in the fields of physical, mental, and social health about common triggers that arise for parents with PTSD, and the challenges they experience while working to break cycles of generational dysfunction and abuse. 3. To help partners and families better understand the experience of parenting for abuse survivors.

Courageous voices.

November 15, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So thankful that the authors of this book and Trigger Points have had the courage to give a voice to something so many of us experience - doing our best to parent with the struggles that come from childhood trauma. No child comes with a manual, but there are many manuals for child-rearing available. Not many take into account the added dimension that personal trauma adds to the complexities of being Mommy or Daddy.

Trauma Informed Parenting by Parents Informed by Trauma: Fantastic Resource for Parents & Other Experts

October 17, 2017

Format: Paperback

This book is brilliant. It's as good for parents with PTSD as it is for those who know, love, work and advocate with/for us. I disclose I'm a contributor but I still don't give five stars unless I mean it. This book has essays from parents, about how parenting with PTSD feels and it also contextualizes the issue by including lots about the ACE study and trauma-informed initiatives (and yes, that means informed by trauma survivor parents).

It's got a wide diversity of voices/experiences.

It has writing prompts.

It has a whole new section on survivors empowering survivors as service providers and activists.

It has downloadable documents parents can share with health providers.

It has healing modalities included that were gathered from survivor parents and service providers.

It has resources for more information and support.

It has hope because it is hope at work.

It has a stunning cover image which shows how parenting with post-traumatic stress feels and why it's so important.

This book shows the power of parents and survivors coming together for one another. Survival is not guaranteed and some of our precious peers have not made it and it's not because they lacked personal resilience but suffered too much without enough support. Abuse and neglect in the early years can be life-threatening and life-altering. That's not something we can forget.

However, parents are instrumental, critical and on the front lines of making things better for ourselves, our kids and future generations. We deserve a voice, to be part of the conversation and not to just have a seat at the table but to help shape the our narratives and the trauma-informed movement meant to support us.

This book is a beautiful beginning and shows why and how parents are needed as well as what parents need most.

I'm honored to know Joyelle Brandt and Dawn Daum who have worked tirelessly to make this resource available and reflective of parents. Kudos to them!

From bmi-ibsr.com thank you Joyelle for working with me and writing about IBSR and how it was "the only trauma framework that ever worked."
