Are you as a parent seeing negative routines in your child from home to school? Do you feel like, as a parent, you feel like a doormat or feeling walked all over by your child? We can suggest ways to find answers to these feelings so that you do not feel that anymore. We were honored to speak to the owner of Conscious Mommy, Bryana Kappadakunnel. These next minutes will be an insight you can apply to your current life to see what is the next move for you and your family to be productive and successful together.
Bryana talks to us about her field of work by helping families with very young children navigate challenges related to child development, ADHD, behavioral & emotional issues, attachment problems, and trauma. She explains to us her unique technique of bottom-up processing and how that type of work is beneficial to parents and children. As well as how she views parenting and what is a successful team for both the parents and their children. She gives us great examples of what we as parents should look out for to get our children some help with their functioning.
Bryana Kappadakunnel is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (90464), an Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, and a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist-Certified. She is the owner & voice behind Conscious Mommy. Guided by attachment theory and the neuroretinal framework, her approach is unique in that she works primarily with parents by helping them discover their child’s nervous system and developmental needs. Parents also learn about their nervous system and how it supports - and sometimes conflicts - with their children. She also guides parents to develop vital skills in self-reflection & deconstructing familial cycles of guilt and shame, which aims to drastically shift the child-parent relational patterns. Bryana also works with new moms experiencing perinatal mood or anxiety disorders. She uses a conscious- and mindfulness-informed approach to help moms realign their expectations with reality, deconstruct the guilt & shame they’re experiencing, and shift into the present moment, where depression and anxiety cannot exist.
