Listen now
Description
Laurie A Couture is an expert in childhood developmental trauma and attachment, and the author of "Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons" and "Instead of Medicating and Punishing." In this episode, Laurie shares her groundbreaking insights and introduces the Couture Protocol, a transformative 12-dimensional system for trauma recovery, emphasizing the importance of tailoring education to individual needs. We dive deep into the challenges faced by parents in today's society, exploring how labeling and controlling children within the educational and mental health systems can have detrimental effects. Laurie sheds light on the pressures placed on children in conventional schooling, often masking underlying trauma and stifling their authentic selves and interests. Our discussion also delves into the lifelong significance of secure attachment and its impact on a child's development. Laurie provides valuable insights into the consequences of a lack of secure attachment and how it can lead to a materialistic approach to life and difficulties in forming healthy relationships in adulthood. We also explore the challenges and solutions of homeschooling as a single working parent and the unique importance of physical love and nurturance, especially for boys and young men. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in creating a brighter future for our children. 🗓️ Recorded October 12th, 2023. 📍Coma Ruga, Spain  ▬ EPISODE LINKS ▬ Lauries website: https://laurieacouture.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurieacouture/ https://www.facebook.com/LaurieACoutureAuthor/ https://twitter.com/laurieacouture Book: Instead of Medicating and Punishing - https://www.amazon.com/Instead-Medicating-Punishing-Childrens-Acting-Out/dp/1932279970Book: Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons - https://www.amazon.com/Nurturing-Empowering-Sons-Laurie-Couture-ebook/dp/B0BZ1F9SK2  Support the showPODCAST INFO Podcast website: http://theconrad.family/podcast YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/theconradfamily365 Apple Podcasts: https://www.theconrad.family/apple Spotify: https://theconrad.family/spotify RSS: https://theconrad.family/rss SUPPORT & CONNECT Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Theconradfamily Share a review: https://www.theconrad.family/review-our-podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconrad.family Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theconradfamily Twitter: https://twitter.com/theconradfamily
