Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...     1:40 - A mental health professional can help you determine whether you should start with parenting support or individual therapy for your young child.   3:05 - Understanding the therapeutic support options available for young kids.   6:05 - Having a parent present during the beginning of sessions can help facilitate and strengthen a therapeutic alliance between the child and the therapist more quickly.   10:32 - What you can expect from parent-child dyadic sessions with a therapist - building trust, increasing frustration tolerance, containing emotions, strengthen your attachment, and more.   16:27 - Having a thorough and comprehensive intake is key for finding a treatment plan that is best suited for your child and your family's unique needs.   19:10 - It's okay to speak up, push back, and be an advocate for your child if you feel the support your receiving is not properly helping them.     WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PARENTING COACHING AND INDIVIDUAL THERAPY? 👉🏻 Click here to lean more about support options at Upshur Bren Psychology Group and to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call to learn more about the available resources for your unique needs.     ✨We want to hear from you!
