What if healing began with autonomy instead of compliance? Brainspotting is a neuroexperiential, anti oppression model of therapy that honors the wisdom of the nervous system, centers client autonomy, and helps therapists flex and follow each individual’s unique window of tolerance. In this introductory session, you’ll explore the foundational principles of Brainspotting and discover practical, immediately applicable strategies for supporting regulation, safety, and connection. Whether you’re a PDAer, parent, caregiver, or professional, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of this neuroaffirming approach and how it can support healing across a variety of settings.

Join Brooke Randolph, LMHC, LIMHP, LPC, LPCC-S October 15th at 7PM (CST) for PDA & Brainspotting.

Back-to-school season means family trees, "where were you born," baby photo assignments, and heritage projects — all of which can land differently for adopted students than teachers expect.
As a therapist (and adoptive parent), I've watched well-meaning classroom assignments unintentionally create hard moments for kids who are still processing adoption — sometimes decades later. Most educators simply weren't trained on this, and that's a systemic gap, not a personal failing.
That's why I created Adoption in the Classroom: A Crash Course in Adoption Awareness — a 45-minute mini-course built for teachers, administrators, and parents who communicate with schools. It covers:
✅ Problematic assignments to watch for�✅ How to talk about adoption in the classroom�✅ Understanding adoptive parents�✅ The impact of adoption and trauma�✅ Tips for classroom success�✅ How educators can advocate for adoptees
It's $35, with handouts, resource links, and further reading included — built as a gift to teachers and the adoption constellation, in hopes of more supportive schools for everyone.

AANHPI Heritage Month is a celebration of people, history, and the vibrant cultures that shape our world. 🌺 I am honoring my clients, friends and aiga in Samoa, artists, authors, and dear families who hold the traditions of the islands and the continent close.
As adoptive parents, we have to be curious and learning, the ones doing the work to build a bridge that keeps our child connected to culture so they can develop a confident identity.
It’s more than attending a once-a-year festival. It’s finding the Samoan* church, joining a dance class or rugby club, and putting yourself in spaces where you are the minority, so you can begin to understand your child’s daily experience. It’s building relationships.
It’s filling your social media feed with AANHPI voices, reading the news from Samoa, following artists, and buying from them directly. It’s having maps and flags on the wall and understanding what “Fa’a Samoa” really means.
It’s not just reading teen literature before your child does, but reading as much as you can about their history and culture, Samoan literature and stories, books by Samoan artists and books set in Samoa.
It’s learning recipes and tracking down the right ingredients—even if they have to be shipped from halfway across the world—because food is a language of heritage and nurture.
Most importantly it’s about Humility, no matter how much we learn. We must leave space for our children to correct us, to guide us, and to define their own identity and relationship to their culture.
What is one new way you are immersing yourself in your child’s culture this year? 👇🏻

*my boys are Samoan and that specificity made this easier to write, but of course you can apply this to your child’s culture.

I am looking forward to sharing this with the entire adoption constellation ✨ have appreciated it when I shared at conferences and therapists usually nod along. I have no doubt that adoptees will agree that reactive attachment disorder is a problematic diagnosis that can have harmful ripple effects on all members of the adoption constellation.

Many therapists who work with adoptees genuinely care. And yet — fewer than 25% of adoptees who have worked with a mental health professional found their therapist to be adoption-competent. (Baden et al., 2017)
Most of us were never taught that adoption is its own clinical specialty. Recognizing where our training ends is part of doing this work well.
Consultation is one of the most powerful tools we have. It challenges our assumptions, deepens our clinical thinking, and — most importantly — improves outcomes for the people we serve.
This group is participant-led. Bring a case, bring a question, or come to listen and think alongside others who are doing this work seriously.

There is a new study published in adoption land - and I need you to see it if you care about an adoptee for a birth mother. I need you to read every word, especially if you are a therapist. When you see these numbers, you will understand that we can cannot afford for therapists to not be adoption competent with real training and ongoing consultation. I read a lot of research about adoption; this one is even written in a readable way.

⚠️ content note: this post contains statistics about su***de attempts. If you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text 988 su***de in crisis lifeline.

You may have seen others sharing some of these numbers in the last year. I didn’t, not because I doubted them, but because I knew they would be so shocking that some people wouldn’t believe them. I waited until the research was peer-reviewed and published. Previous research in the US has depended on adoptive, parent and adolescent report, so it is not surprising that the numbers were lower than when adult adoptees and first mothers report on their own su***de attempts.

21% of adoptees and 22% of first mothers report having attempted su***de - making them 35x and 37.7x more likely than the general population. Let that sink in. And 94.3% of adoptee reported developing unhealthy coping mechanisms. These numbers explain why I am so passionate. The study also speaks to how adoptees and first mothers wants society to consider their perspective and help change the narrative around adoption

These aren’t just stats. These are the people sitting in your office, dear therapist. Other recent research tells us that approximately 89% of adoptee, more than 89% of birth parents, and over 90% of adoptive parents reported engagement with mental health professionals - substantially higher than the general US population estimates of 30 to 40%. Please sign up for my free monthly list of info and resources for adoption therapy and consider more trainings, more conferences, and more consultation.

PS you probably know a birth mother. She may just not have told you, but reading this will help you understand why.

Thank you for all the work you put into this (links in bio)
