Episode 150 - Including our own Feelings in Play with Vivian Viester

I am so happy to share another episode in the series of conversations about Attachment Play, this time in conversation with Vivian Viester. Vivian is a level 2 Aware parenting Instructor in the Netherlands and has a 15 year old son.

In this conversation, Vivian shares how she has learnt to incorporate her own big painful feelings into attachment play with her son and gives lots of examples of how she has done this. We talk about bringing attachment play to prepare our children for stressful events and to support their healing after experiencing stress and trauma. We talk about the importance of getting support and listening for ourselves in order to have capacity to play.
