Did you know that 80% of the communication between your brain and your body actually goes from your body to your brain—only 20% flows the other way? That means what happens in your body plays a huge role in how you think and feel.
Why Online Family Therapy Works for Parents and Kids
Did you know that 80% of the communication between your brain and your body actually goes from your body to your brain—only 20% flows the other way? That means what happens in your body plays a huge role in how you think and feel.
When it comes to healing and connection, online family therapy is most effective when we use both top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Top-Down Therapy: Changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves
Top-down therapy focuses on your thoughts and beliefs. We look at the stories you tell yourself—about yourself, your relationships, and your experiences. By gently challenging the beliefs that aren’t serving you, we can replace them with something more true, more helpful, and more freeing.
This approach helps parents and children become more aware of their thought patterns, making space for healthier communication and emotional connection.
Bottom-Up Therapy: Healing Through the Nervous System
Bottom-up therapy works with your nervous system—your body's built-in response system—to help you regulate emotions and build stronger neural pathways. Through movement, grounding, and breathwork, we give your brain cues of safety, making it easier to heal.
For parents struggling with their children, online family therapy combines both approaches to process painful experiences and integrate primitive reflex movements. This helps families find relief faster and create lasting change. The beauty of online therapy is that you can access expert support from the comfort of your home, making it easier to prioritize healing without the stress of travel or scheduling conflicts.
