Did you know that there are over 400 million active users on Face book, that more than 50% of those people log in to Face book daily and they spend close to 500 billion minutes per month interacting on Face book. Twitter now has over 12 million visitors with that number expected to double by next year. And what about YouTube? Huge! How many of you have Face book, Twitter or LinkedIn accounts or have a blog? Learning is social and we are social beings and that is the reason why this type of medium has just skyrocketed. So what's this all mean to us parents?
We at the Post Institute have a global message to spread that "Love" not "Fear" is the answer and to help get that message out, we're entering the world of social networking. That's right, our very own Bryan Post is jumping into the social networking universe with both feet. We even made him buy a new cell phone so that he could share his thoughts about love, parenting, adoption, foster care, you name it, from wherever he is on the globe. He's so addicted to Twitter now that he's "tweeting" several times a day about all kinds of things relevant to what we parents are struggling with. How cool is that!!!!
We need your help in getting the word out about what we're doing and in return, we'll be sharing with all of you some of the best thinking out there from a guy who is considered one of the foremost experts in working with children with challenging behaviors. A lot of what Bryan talks about works with all kinds of children and in all kinds of relationships. You can expect that we'll be keeping this stuff fresh with a team of people working with Bryan to make sure that happens and we want you to "join" the conversation and share your thoughts and comments with us.
There are a couple of ways to "join" the conversation with us and you can find each of them on our website at http://www.postinstitute.com or you can visit each site we're posting to by clicking the following links:
So make us a friend, tweet with us or follow Bryan's blog, together we can help change the world. Join the Love Revolution!

About Bryan Post
B. Bryan Post is one of America’s Foremost Child Behavior Experts. Founder and CEO of the Post Institute for Family-Centered Therapy based in Virginia Beach, VA. The Post Institute specializes in working with adults, children and families who struggle with issues related to early life trauma and the impact of trauma on the development of the mind body system. A renowned clinician, lecturer, and author of several books, video, and audio programs, Bryan has traveled throughout the world providing expert treatment and consultation to a variety of groups. An internationally recognized specialist in the treatment of emotional and behavioral disturbance in adults, children and families, he specializes in a holistic family-based treatment approach that addresses the underlying interactive dynamics of the entire family, a neurophysiologic process he refers to as, “The secret life of the family.” Post contends that these same dynamics become obvious and are visibly apparent in every relationship.
Dear Bryan,
I thought to myself "What title should I give to you?" You are the "Last Therapist", the greatest honor you can have in someone's life. After work with you, I am able to continue on my own. I was running out of fingers and toes in counting the therapist I had seen in my lifetime. When you introduce yourself you need to say "I'm Bryan Post, your Last Therapist".

Dear Bryan,
It has been some time since I attended your conference in Indianapolis with my sister but I wanted to take the time to thank you for your work! I am currently writing my Master's Thesis on RAD and the spiritual gifts inherent in the disorder and I am using your work to highlight the prenatal physiological formations of the stress response that is so evident in RAD disordered persons.
I am finding that your idea of looking at the person as being fundamentally 'scared' rather than angry is so helpful in my personal training as a therapist as…
Bryan,
I just wanted to thank you for coming this week. I feel for the first time in 4 years that the school finally understands my daughter’s situation. Your visit with the school made such a difference.
We look forward to working with our daughter in dealing with the trauma experienced. Since you began consulting with us, we feel empowered to make a difference in helping our daughter heal.
Thanks, L.R.- Texas
Hi Bryan,
I enjoyed meeting up with you at the ATTACh conference. Your workshop related to my family to a tee. We've been through all the breakthrough holdings, but I've felt (for too long now) like we've been so stuck in moving forward. Your Stress Model™ and explanation of our two little "stress bombs" has really clarified the approach my husband and I need to take from here. I really like the work you've done and the parenting model you've developed. And....this past week was MUCH better! Your…
Dear Bryan,
Getting the experience I want here locally is going to be a challenge. There simply isn't anyone doing good sound attachment work. And besides, I have so much admiration for your work and the Stress Model™ you have developed. It is not only theoretically based and backed by research, but it’s completely applicable to everyday living. Too many approaches are either one or the other, not both. Are you open to some opportunities for me to train with you?
You keep up the good work, also!!!!! I love your style of telling the group there wasn't any…
Letter to Potential Post Institute Families
We are grateful for the opportunity to pen this open letter to you. We, along with our four children, completed Bryan's family intensive in May of 2005.
To truly convey the impact this therapeutic intensive had on our family, it would be best to first share with you what brought us to Florida for parent boot camp and then on to Oklahoma for the family intensive from our home in Northern California.
Last Spring, my family was in complete chaos. The school was threatening to send my 8 year-old daughter to alternative school because of her defiant behavior with her teacher and poor interaction with her peers.
My daughter had experienced trauma at the age 5. From that point in time, she had great difficulty coping in the school environment. Her original therapist worked with her concentrating on finding out her trauma experience. Due to her young age, we agreed to stop the sessions after 10 months without her learning how to cope with the trauma experience.
Hello, B.,
I went to an adoption support group meeting last night and guess who was the topic of conversation? B. Bryan Post and family centered regulatory parenting! The therapist that runs the group (we used to co-facilitate it, but I had to drop out for awhile) was in your workshop at the conference. Your ideas really helped in turning her attitude around. She used to be much more cynical and almost "sneaky" in her approach for parents, but last night she had much more of a compassionate approach. It was so refreshing. I felt like I had always…
I supervise several therapists; they are using your family therapy model and find it works; I eagerly look forward to family therapy sessions, I finally have something to offer them that is effective. --Nancy Webb
Dear Bryan:
I thought I would write you a letter on my feelings of what you have done for me and my family. Your book is an expression of you and your work which we have been blessed to get to experience.
After years of therapy, what amazed me was how quickly you got to the core of the problem, helped us to dig down very deep to look at it, to express it and heal from it. You made us get honest with ourselves, to stop blaming others for our problems and realize it takes work and commitment to…
