One of the most effective psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic interventions is to offer parents and carers a space to help them reflect on the emotional challenges their children face and consider the parenting strategies they have used over time. I do this in a supportive, non-judgmental way. With the permission of parents I explore with them issues and challenges from their own childhoods, and we consider whether some of these may remain sufficiently unresolved as to be influencing, unconsciously, their parenting in the present. When this proves to be the case and we manage to bring some resolution to these issues for the parent, it is striking how often the child's emotional challenges reduce or even resolve.

Let's all take care of the child within us!
