Welcome
Welcome to The Parallel Process Blog. As many of you know, I have a book that will be published in the coming month for parents who have children in treatment. The focus of this blog is to highlight the critical ingredients in my book: parent-child patterns, how kids develop internal resources, how to empower children to solve their own problems, how to communicate and have new outcomes with your kids and many, many more subjects. I hope to keep reinforcing the ideas around Balanced Parenting and apply these concepts to everyday life. Stay Tuned....

Why Parallel Process?
Parallel Process provides a safe place for parents of struggling adolescents to process the range of their emotions from anger and resentment to guilt, regret and fear.
Parallel Process enhances parents skill-development and emotional maturation while their child is away, including: emotional self-care, emotional attunement to their child, boundary setting, reframing issues and problems, sitting with discomfort and uncertainty, I-feel statements, assertive communication and reflective listening.
Parallel Process helps parents develop healthier boundaries with their child. This can range from helping emotionally enmeshed parent learn how to set behavioral limits to helping emotionally distant parents become more engaged and emotionally available.
Parallel Process helps parents learn how to empower their children to solve their own problems.
Parallel Process enhances parents self-awareness by helping parents identify their own patterns. With this, parents can side-step old traps and have new outcomes with their child.
Parallel Process helps parents develop healthier communication with their child from letter writing, phone calls or visit with their child in treatment, to transitioning their child back to the home.
Parallel Process helps parents address their own personal and/or marriage issues that might be interfering with their parenting.
Whether parents are divorced, separated, struggling or happily married, Parallel Process focuses on effective co-parenting and teamwork to provide a safe container for their child.
Parallel Process aims to work alongside child’s treatment to help integrate new communication skills, emotional management skills and behavioral boundaries into the home. This ensures that the child’s gains in treatment are preserved and reinforced.
Finally, Parallel Process works as a team with child’s therapist and educational consultant to achieve best possible outcome for child and whole family.
