Don Neufeld, Social Worker/Therapist

Don Neufeld, Social Worker/Therapist A forum for sharing with my clients and others the materials that I find meaningful, as resources for personal and societal change. I welcome your feedback.

I have chosen to set up this page as an opportunity to share resources and personal comments for clients and friends who choose to follow. I am committed to the confidentiality of my clients, and I caution you from posting in ways that will identify you. You will find general clinical and social materials that I feel add helpful information as food for thought. You will also note that som

e of the content has a "religious" flavour, and I hope that no one will feel compelled to believe or follow any specific creed that is not comfortable for you. I post such content because I do have a fair number of clients for whom faith is central to their journey of life.

The pattern doesn't need you to understand it. It just needs you to keep ignoring it.

That is how trauma gets passed from one generation to the next. Through unhealed wounds and the silence that protects them.

And unless you turn and face these patterns, you'll hand them right down to the people you love most.

The best gift you can give your children is always your own health and recovery.

Some children do not “act out” - they react to how safe they feel.

A child who clings, avoids, shuts down or seems overly independent is not trying to be difficult. They are showing you what relationships have felt like for them. When a child has not consistently felt safe, understood or reassured, their behaviour adapts to cope.

Some will stay close and worry about being left.
Some will push adults away and hide their feelings.
Some will swing between both, unsure who to trust.

What looks like behaviour is often attachment.

When adults respond with calm, consistency and understanding instead of control or punishment, children slowly learn that relationships can be safe. That is when behaviour begins to change - not before.

If we only focus on the behaviour, we miss the message. If we understand the attachment need underneath, we can actually help.

The more we matter to them,
the less they are wounded
by outside wounds.
The key is in the relationship.
It’s not in the teaching.”
