In this podcast episode, Katy Tomkinson and Rowan Wolfe, who deliver our HSB service, talk about:
- what denial and shame might look like in children and young people
- the physical signs and non-verbal cues that children might display when talking about their experiences
- building trusting relationships and using therapeutic and trauma-informed approaches
- exercises for practitioners to help understand children’s lived experiences and explore feelings of shame and denial
- the impact on children of parents or carers experiencing denial
- techniques for working with a child or young person when they are fixed in their denial.
