10 | Attachment Styles and Building Secure Connections - A Parent's Guide with Tana Dukes, LMSW (Part two of our conversation)

This is part two of my conversation with Tana. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of parenting, and you find yourself constantly struggling to understand and connect with those you care for, then you are not alone! The traditional approaches to parenting and caregiving may not be yielding the results you desire, leaving you feeling lost and unsure of how to provide the support these children truly need. Joining me on the podcast today is my friend Tana Dukes. Tana is a Christian, a mom, a wife, a social worker, and a small business owner. Tana holds an LMSW in the state of South Carolina and is a TBRI practitioner.

Tana's expertise and dedication to her work make her an invaluable resource in our conversation about attachment, parenting, and the importance of understanding and addressing trauma in children (and in ourselves). Her insights and experience will provide valuable guidance for caregivers and foster parents looking to support children who have experienced trauma.
