From overwhelm to peace The Attach Place and Loves Matters Parenting Society support and therapeutic parenting class has been life changing. I was struggling as a grandparent who has become the guardian of my granddaughter. We lost her mom to drugs and then suicide in 2020. It was devastating for both of us and we spiraled down to a point where I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep caring for her. Just months before I joined my granddaughter who was 9, was in and out of the hospital, on several kinds of medication with no effect, and I was having to call the police because of extreme aggression or threats of harm to self and others. My friend had recently started the Love Matters Parenting Society and shared the link. Desperate for any kind of support I signed up and from the moment of hearing that first video intro song I knew this was something, there was a glimmer of hope. I went all in watching the videos, joining the Facebook group, and then coming to the weekly zoom groups. Things started getting better as I focused on connection before correction and built our relationship back. I have to say that with the amazing guidance, support from the groups and the therapeutic parenting material there is no more extreme aggression, destruction, or hopelessness. We are on our way. Has it been or is it now easy? No. But it’s worth it and it is a more effective and long term solution.

Every adoptive parent should be here Every adoptive parent should be here! Clearly this is a place where people understand me and my children, they know what we’re walking through, and they have so much wisdom and love to share. Before we joined, we were stressed and having daily battles. Now we understand where our kids are coming from and we have the skills to help them through it rather than battling against them. And attachment has grown so much in the process!

Change is possible This is where you will get the support and help you need on your foster or adoptive journey. It's been life changing and life saving for our family. There's work involved, and lasting change takes time, so start now. We are three years in with working with the Love Matters Parenting Society and The Attach Place and we have experienced so much growth and healing and HOPE.

The Attach Place & Love Matters Parenting Win the Prize "Before the adoption, I could imagine the deep love I'd feel for my child. I could imagine the joy. I could not imagine how the behaviors would send me almost over the brink. Help!" The love and joy are real--and so are the inner wounds that can create such pain and disarray in our child's life and in ours. Ce Eshelman, LMT, has been through this big-time, and she shares her heartaches, triumphs, and wisdom with us at The Attach Place and in her book, "Drowning with my Hair on Fire; Insanity Relief for Adoptive Parents." And, if you are a member of Love Matters Parenting, you also get an international Facebook therapeutic-parenting family you can lean on for support and advice. And, an in-depth curriculum on how to help not just your child, but YOU too (that's in reverse order, though, Ce will tell us). And weekly discussion groups with Ce and other parents that guide you through the curriculum. All of this together has made an incredible, deep-down difference for me and my family. Better than anything else I've tried or joined. If you're a struggling adoptive parent, you have found home.

Thanks to Neurofeedback Solutions.. and Ms. Ce Eshelman This program has produced amazing results! Just a few months ago my son, who has Asperger's, suffered from overreacting to various situations and was riddled with anxiety. Thanks to Neurofeedback Solutions he is now able to process information to the degree that he no longer has inappropriate outbursts and his overall demeanor is calmer and more relaxed. We are constantly having people remark at how much he has matured over the last few months. My son and I used to have daily arguments and now we have none. We have the pleasure of conversation without drama. My son and I have noticed what a difference this program has made in our lives and we both couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend contacting Ce and utilizing this program for anyone who might be having difficulties with Asperger's and/or anxiety. --S.
