When a child is exposed to early adversity, their brain may activate a premature defense mechanism putting them in a chronic state of survival. This may result in blocked trust. When a parent continually makes attempts to connect and there is no reciprocity from the child, this may result in a corresponding activation of the parent’s defense system, resulting in blocked care. In this presentation, learn to recognize the nine signs of blocked care and what parents need to regain compassion.
