“I wrote this book to walk parents through all the guidance and support I offer my therapy clients when doing a digital detox. It’s a helpful companion to any approach, but walks you through my own method - step by step.”

“In addition to my own book, when a family is embarking on a digital detox, I always recommend this extremely detailed book. It offers a medical approach to screen limits and insight into the neurological benefits of technology boundaries.”

“This book does a great job of articulating the speed and impact of screen use on our anxiety levels in an approachable way. It’s great for parents or teens.”

“A very practical guide to help adults or families detach from the constant notifications and alerts associated with smartphone use.”

“A colleague of mine has compiled all the peer reviewed research on children with attachment ruptures manifesting through behavioral issues. It makes solid research approachable for parents & is also on my recommendation list for parents who want to understand the connection between attachment and behavior.”

“I recommend this pragmatic book to the majority of parents who describe their child as strong willed. I always advise that the cover should be removed and title covered to avoid children inadvertently associating themselves with a ‘difficult’ label that does not reflect them or the heart of the book.”

“Any book by Dr. Dan Siegel is excellent, but this is where I usually recommend parents begin. It takes a practical approach to co-regulation leveraging solid neuroscientific research presented in a non clinical way.”

“This is a faith based version of Hold Me Tight - which introduces Emotionally Focused Therapy, an attachment based couples therapy modality that produces measurable results.”

 “I always follow up Hold Me Tight or Created for Connection with this gold standard from The Gottmans. They have been researching what makes couples successful for decades and offer a very workable and practical guide to creating and sustaining fulfilling marriages.”

“When I am working with a family system and there is any kind of unresolved trauma surfacing in one or more of the adults, I always start here. This text is extremely normalizing and helpful for adult children who grew up in a home with any type of addictive cycle.”

“A follow up companion to the 12 Step Workbook, this guidebook empowers adults to reparent themselves - which creates unique opportunities for them to parent their own children in new and more connected ways.”

“I recommend this book for any pre-marital or newly married client. The author, Terry Real, is the real deal and gives an honest and realistic portrayal of how our expectations for marriage have changed and offers guidance for how we can be successful within the new paradigm.”

“Relaunching soon, this podcast gives me the chance to speak to families with inspiring stories to tell. If you’re interested in learning more about trauma recovery, connection, hope, and healing - or just need to be inspired - Inspiring Families is a great investment of time.”

“Host Lisa Dion is the Founder and Director of the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute. While this podcast is designed for therapists, many parents who want to understand nervous system regulation find its content helpful and approachable.”
