Every adoptive parent should be here Every adoptive parent should be here! Clearly this is a place where people understand me and my children, they know what we’re walking through, and they have so much wisdom and love to share. Before we joined, we were stressed and having daily battles. Now we understand where our kids are coming from and we have the skills to help them through it rather than battling against them. And attachment has grown so much in the process!

The Attach Place & Love Matters Parenting Win the Prize "Before the adoption, I could imagine the deep love I'd feel for my child. I could imagine the joy. I could not imagine how the behaviors would send me almost over the brink. Help!" The love and joy are real--and so are the inner wounds that can create such pain and disarray in our child's life and in ours. Ce Eshelman, LMT, has been through this big-time, and she shares her heartaches, triumphs, and wisdom with us at The Attach Place and in her book, "Drowning with my Hair on Fire; Insanity Relief for Adoptive Parents." And, if you are a member of Love Matters Parenting, you also get an international Facebook therapeutic-parenting family you can lean on for support and advice. And, an in-depth curriculum on how to help not just your child, but YOU too (that's in reverse order, though, Ce will tell us). And weekly discussion groups with Ce and other parents that guide you through the curriculum. All of this together has made an incredible, deep-down difference for me and my family. Better than anything else I've tried or joined. If you're a struggling adoptive parent, you have found home.

I thought I knew a lot about… I thought I knew a lot about attachment. This membership 1.) Taught me much more; 2.) Reminds me daily to connect with my children, even when it’s hard; 3.) Provides me with an understanding, knowledgeable group of Facebook friends who have all been where I am. Plus, there’s Ce and Andrea, who sincerely care about every family. The membership helps me become the parent I want to be every day.

Our family was blessed to be introduced… Our family was blessed to be introduced to The Attach Place as a means to addressing the mental health issues due to the COVID crisis. Having absolutely no therapeutic resources (in the entire five years since I had adopted my two girls), I jumped at the opportunity. It has been hands down the best decision for our family. I did have previous suggestions from other resources for how to get my kids in line (as if this was the goal), my own experience as a child, and what I saw mirrored from families who do not have children from difficult beginnings. None of those examples worked for us, which left me feeling alone and fearful of the future. Our situation wasn’t getting better, only worse. After some time in Theraplay, and completing work in the Love Matters Parenting Society resources, I have a success story almost weekly. I see change in how we communicate, and I am on way to parenting the way I always hoped I could - with some compassion, patience, and as a model of security and stability that my children crave. I am most thankful for the graciousness of the staff, and the parents in LMP support group. The mottos of #bettertogether and No Blame, No Shame help to create a safe place to learn, heal, and grow as a family.

Thanks to Neurofeedback Solutions.. and Ms. Ce Eshelman This program has produced amazing results! Just a few months ago my son, who has Asperger's, suffered from overreacting to various situations and was riddled with anxiety. Thanks to Neurofeedback Solutions he is now able to process information to the degree that he no longer has inappropriate outbursts and his overall demeanor is calmer and more relaxed. We are constantly having people remark at how much he has matured over the last few months. My son and I used to have daily arguments and now we have none. We have the pleasure of conversation without drama. My son and I have noticed what a difference this program has made in our lives and we both couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend contacting Ce and utilizing this program for anyone who might be having difficulties with Asperger's and/or anxiety. --S.
