Using the 5 secrets of effective communication with kids: A conversation with Chelsea Dorcich

Holding space for your child’s feelings is often easier said than done. When your child is struggling in some way it can be easy to fall into the trap of trying to cheer them up, solve their problem, or convince them that there’s nothing to be upset about. Using the 5 Secrets of Communication, a TEAM-CBT technique, is a great way to hold space for your child and strengthen your connection with them. In this episode Dr. Coor does a “5 Secrets” deep dive with Chelsea Dorcich, a level 4 TEAM-CBT therapist who works with children and adolescents. 

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
