Dr. B - My Journey

Feeling Like A Failure As A Mom

My son attended three day care centers and was asked to leave each of them due to what was considered aggressive behavior. I felt like a failure as a mom. I searched for experts in sensory work and met with an array of specialists and designed a sensory diet for him. At age nine he was released from Special Education Services, those of you that have had experience with that system know how rare that is. This happened because he was able to regulate his emotions and hadn’t had a behavioral incident in two years.

At that time I was writing my dissertation for my Doctorate on Behavior Change. I continued to seek out experts and trainings that could help me understand the brain and the sensory system.

Setting Out On A Journey To Learn About Trauma

In addition to my sons, we had a full house of children, from ages four to eight, all of whom had experienced a significant amount of trauma. I set out on a journey to learn all about trauma. I completed my certification in mindfulness. I also completed my certification in relational frame therapy, and I became certified in Yoga Instruction for Children.

Moved My Focus to Mental Health Support

Soon I moved my focus to mental health support and how to apply different therapeutic models to support individuals. I attended trainings in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and met with lots of experts. I integrated all of these disciplines with every new student.

You Are Not A Failure

I share my story with you with the hope that you will take away that as a fellow parent you are not alone. Be patient and keep an open mind. I created The Behavior Bootcamp as a step-by-step system with the intention to educate and train to help you on the path to positive change. Make sure you join the private Facebook group The Behavior Bootcamp. It is a great community with others that are in a similar place, as well those that have solved problems that you might be struggling with.
