Often times we find ourselves desperate to end our children's tireless tantrums, or maybe it's even ourselves or someone else we'd like to stop from engaging in an undesirable pattern of behavior. However, no matter how hard we try to make changes on our own, these undesired behaviors and patterns become more and more ingrained, often resulting in feelings of defeat and hopelessness. We then may search outside ourselves for some form of relief, but in our attempt to collaborate with our partner or follow advice, we only find contradiction, and then the confusion frustrates us further in the quest to do what's right for for everyone involved. We are faced with anxiety-provoking questions like: do I use ABA or Play therapy? CBT or DBT? Behavior Modification or Positive Reinforcement? Operant Conditioning or Classical Conditioning? Do I need testing, and if so which assessment? Should I hire a Psy.D., a MFT, a CSW, a MHC, a BCBA, should they be a coach, have a Masters degree or a Doctorate? What does it all mean, and who can I trust? The reality is there are many terms that can mean the same thing to different professionals or the same term may be used differently between those same professionals.
At Fresh Start Life Solutions we can help you make sense of the seeming chaos, and navigate you directly towards the clarity you need in order to find the answers that are right for you. We believe each individual is unique, and his/her family is its own dynamic system.
