You swore you’d do things differently—so why does parenting still feel so hard?
- My childhood was so stressful—how do I even know what I’m supposed to do?
- My childhood was fine, but recent events in my life have left me so depleted…
- I’m a lousy parent. How can I give my children what they truly need?
- How can I love a baby if I don’t even like myself?
- What’s wrong with me? Why do I get so angry at my kids?
Parenting after trauma is not like typical parenting.
- You know the “right” things to do, but your body reacts before your brain can intervene.
- You read about gentle, responsive parenting, but it feels impossible when you’re triggered.
- You love your kids, but sometimes you feel emotionally detached from them.
Parenting is not just healthy – it can be healing.
This summit is for parents who are breaking cycles but don’t have a guide. It’s for parents who are willing to do the work, but need real-world tools—ones that acknowledge how hard it is to parent when parenting itself is triggering.
What You’ll Learn at the Post-Traumatic Parenting Summit
You swore you’d do things differently—so why does parenting still feel so hard?
Even if you know what you’re supposed to do, trauma hijacks the nervous system. Learn science-backed strategies to regulate your emotions in the moment and parent from wisdom, not fear.
How to Balance Being Responsive and Responsible
Many Post-Traumatic Parents swing between extremes—either being too gentle (fearful of setting boundaries) or too rigid (trying to maintain control).
- Gentle parenting isn’t enough—kids also need structure.
- Strict parenting isn’t enough—kids also need emotional attunement.
- Your kids are not you. Your kids HAVE you.
R2 Parenting (Responsive & Responsible Parenting) teaches you how to break generational patterns while raising emotionally secure, resilient kids.
How Trauma Affects the Parent-Child Relationship
Trauma survivors fall into survival-based parenting patterns:
- Perfectionist Parent: Trying to be the perfect parent, afraid of "messing up" your kids.
- Entangled Parent: Pulled into toxic family dynamics, an overbearing ex, work drama, or friend-group chaos—so emotionally enmeshed in other relationships that parenting takes a backseat.
- Paralyzed Parent: Frozen, overthinking every decision, afraid of repeating the past.
- Survivor Parent: Parenting in crisis mode, constantly scanning for danger, living on edge.
- Disengaged Parent: This parent is often a workaholic or chronic over-functioner—always busy, always doing—but underneath the hustle is a deep, hidden fear: I might harm my child just by being close. Subconsciously, they believe that the most dangerous thing in their child’s life… is a relationship with them. So they create distance—not out of coldness, but out of a quiet desperation to protect their child from themselves. It’s as if they’re thinking, “If I stay close, I might mess them up. If I step back, at least I won’t be the one who causes harm.”
How to Heal Your Inner Child While Parenting Your Actual Child
- Your damage doesn’t have to damage your kids.
- Trauma doesn’t occur in the past. It occurs in the future. So does healing.
Parenting isn’t just about your child’s growth—it’s about your growth too. Learn how to process your trauma while actively parenting, so your past stops controlling your present.

Meet Your Host
Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, PhD
Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, PhD leads a large clinical practice, The Center for Psychological Growth, in New Jersey and is a recognized thought leader on Post-Traumatic Parenting. She has a PhD from New York University in School/Clinical Child Psychology and worked in schools on the East Coast before opening her clinical practice in New Jersey. Since that time, she and her growing team have helped more than 10,000 children and their parents, educators, caregivers, and child protective services personnel.
This vast and varied experience with so many diverse situations led her to develop her trademarked Post-Traumatic Parenting process.
It is her life’s work to help people develop the skills and resilience they need to break the cycle of their own traumatic past – so they can help to create a healthier, happier, more wholesome environment for the children they care for.
Dr. K’s entire body of work revolves around answering this vital question: “How can I give kids a normal childhood, when mine was anything but normal?” She helps parents break the cycles that almost broke them, to become the parents they’ve always dreamed of being.
