Episode 56 | Understanding Attachment-Focused Family Therapy

In this episode, Janet sits down with Dr. John Stewart to explore how attachment-focused family therapy can help families work together to address mental health concerns. Dr. Stewart is a clinical psychologist, assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, and the author of several books including his most recent: What Helps When Children and Families Struggle. In this episode, he shares insights from decades of experience working with children, adolescents, and parents. He discusses why individual therapy isn’t always the best starting point, how to reframe children’s behaviour through the lens of connection and vulnerability, and the power of creating a safe, playful, and emotionally attuned space for families.Whether you’re a parent, clinician, or educator — this episode offers a thoughtful and hopeful look at how to repair relationship issues, reduce shame and bring families back into a loving, supportive relationship with one another.To learn more about Dr. Stewart and his work you can visit his website. For more information on the work we do at Catch, please visit our website and don’t forget to follow and subscribe to our podcast wherever you listen. Stay connected with us on LinkedIn & Instagram.
