"I’m so confused about the RAD diagnosis. My son’s therapist suggested it but everything I read online is scary and hopeless. Help!"
When parents get a diagnosis of RAD (or it even gets suggested!) they head straight to Google.
What they find is terrifying!
That's the problem with RAD as a diagnosis!
In this episode, I give a new framework for considering what's underneath the behavioral symptoms that lead to a diagnosis of RAD- and why this reframe is crucial to treatment.
Welcome to Fridays in February Q&As! I'll be answering one question every Friday in February.
