Conscious Conversations with Katie Augustyn and Adena Blickstein

I am very excited to meet Dr. Adena Blickstein and have this converation with her and help to get the word out about her work!
Dr. Blickstein is a holistic child psychiatrist specializing in Integrated Energy Therapy. She is the CEO and founder of Teal Dragon Healing, in Stamford, CT, and has a fellowship from Westchester Medical Center and a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University,
Dr. Blickstein has developed a new way of helping children wtih mental health issues, by focusing on the parent-child relationships. She developed Relational Attunement Training for parents, and conducted research which showed that, after 12 weeks of training, rates of anxiety and depression in children plummeted. So instead of solely treating the child as the patient, she uses a more holistic approach where the family is the designated patient. She is now training other practitioners in any field that works with children, in the protocol.
Dr Blickstein says that all parents she has met are well-intentioned. However, well-intentioned, but untrained, parents can unconsciously create trauma in their children. So we need to support grounded and empowering parenting to help the entire family.
