Final word 💬

The study shows that successful integration of #SensoryRegulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, and #DDP requires:

❤️ Human insight
📚 Clinical knowledge
🛠️ Ongoing support systems

More research is also needed to move from theory to safe, reflective, and effective practice

Therapists & Services engaging in the integration of #SensoryRegulation #Theraplay #EMDR & #DDP should:

✅Focus on enhancing parent comfort during integration
✅Explain the “why” behind methods
✅Reflect on acceptability, not just outcome.

Better understanding = better outcomes

Therapists, take note 👂

Therapists in the study described the integration of #sensoryregulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, & #DDP as both powerful & challenging.

🧩 Integration requires qualification, thought, support, & skill — not random improvisation.

So What?

Real-world clinical impact 🌍🧠

Integrating #sensoryregulation #Theraplay #EMDR & #DDP is feasible & acceptable across a wide age range of adoptive parents (28–54) and children (3–13)

This is promising as integrating these models to varying degrees is already common.

First of its kind 🚨

Integrating these core models is becoming more and more common in clinical practise.

This is the first study to explore how feasible and acceptable it is to integrate #SensoryRegulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, and #DDP into one #AdoptionSupport intervention.

Excited for University of Salfords #FASD conference today, can't wait to hear leading researchers discuss best practice!

I will be presenting Chrysalis Associates research on the use of #Theraplay and #Sensory work to support children with #PAE & post-natal trauma.

Come say hey if you're there 👋

we don’t just focus on child or parent, we hold the relationship as the client. Because when one partner in the dance gets out of sync, it’s not about blame, it’s about finding the rhythm together.
