4KIDS, TBRI & EPIC Parenting Tools for Trauma Recovery | Meiby Nodarse LMHC on Healing Through Faith

Описание: In this powerful episode of The Holistic Counselor Podcast, host Diana S. Rice sits down with Meiby Nodarse, LMHC—a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and TBRI® Practitioner with 4KIDS of South Florida. Together, they unpack what trauma-informed parenting really looks like and how the Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) and EPIC faith-based trainings are transforming foster care families and Christian caregivers across Florida and beyond.

We explore the intersection of faith, attachment science, and parenting—from healing early childhood trauma to supporting teens navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. Whether you're a therapist, foster parent, teacher, or someone healing from religious or relational trauma, this episode offers clinical insight and Christ-centered encouragement.
