About Reflective Parenting
Reflective
Parenting: Holding Parent and Child in Relationship
Training Description: Parenting is about growing humans, ideally into well-minded, balanced, healthy, and happy individuals. Many parents work tirelessly in supporting children in mind, body, spirit, and soul into reaching their fullest potential in life. But why does parenting transform a well-intended, typically logical, and even-tempered adult into a screaming banshee? As clinicians, we have many tools to respond to parenting support but too often, the patterns seem immovable and reoccurring. Reflective Parenting offers a supportive parenting model based on Peter Fonagy’s concept of reflective functioning that allows for deep shifts to occur. Integrating key concepts such as mentalization, attachment theory, mindfulness, intergenerational resiliency and trauma, Reflective Parenting holds the tension both the parent and child as individuals who have their own deep inner experiences and the dynamic between their intertwined worlds.
Learning Objectives:

About the Organizer
Bay Area Psychotherapy Training Institute
We at bapti.org are a non-profit, public benefit corporation founded over 20 years ago to provide high quality therapy services to clients in local communities including Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, Canyon, Concord and Walnut Creek. BAPTI offers internships to qualified applicants who possess a master's degree or doctorate in Counseling Psychology or other appropriate major from an accredited university program. BAPTI utilizes a private practice model that provides training and support for interns and guides them in developing, marketing and managing their own practices. BAPTI also offers a school-based program that supports interns in creating new alliances with schools and other agencies for specialized experiences. We also support a group of independent licensed practice clinicians who realize the importance of establishing a professional community whose purpose is to support one another through continuing education, formal and informal consultations, and the sharing of our experiences in a variety of settings. We hold firmly that the private practice of therapy should not be an isolating experience and that clinical work is enhanced by frequent peer interactions.
