L’Chaim = A toast for health, good fortune, and celebration in Jewish culture and beyond

Yesterday I had the pleasure of touring Fusion Academy with Tainah Georges,
Director of Admissions & Outreach at the Boca Raton location who is warm, very knowledgeable (as a former teacher at the school) and super welcoming. While I’m very familiar with Fusion Academy, having former clients who had been students at Fusion, I’ve also referred families to this campus and even taken trainings there. I’ve never really had the opportunity to see everything the school has to offer.

Summers typically offer a valuable window for professional development, providing me some time to strengthen my collaborative networks. This ultimately benefits my clients who present with specific learning and social/emotional needs. I’ve loved the opportunity to collaborate with professionals in the area, to enhance collaborative efforts and ensure continuity of care, especially for school-aged clients or those requiring multidisciplinary support.

Fusion is a fully accredited 1-to-1 private school for grades 6-12, where they offer personalized education for students with learning, social, or emotional differences. There are many reasons that Fusion has been one of the top private schools where I’ll refer parents with adolescents who are in need of an alternative learning environment that is safe & nurturing. My clients who have attended the school have vouched for the professionalism of the staff & ability to learn in a very customized and creative way.

All you need is love AND a true understanding of Attachment Theory! 🫶🏽

Dr. Anita Knight Kuhnley presented at our most recent Palm Beach Counselors Association meeting & she continued to shed light on a popular topic for therapists called 🧲Attachment Theory.

Dr Kuhnley has created a very clever & practical guide. After reading the book, I think it’s one of the most straight forward and simplified ways of truly understanding the four relationship styles!

Which can help to take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do--especially in times of stress.

The goal is to find and nurture a love that lasts! ❤️

In her own words:

“Of course we love our partners--but do we love our partners well? According to attachment theory, we tend to experience and show love in predictable ways, some of which might have served us in the past but may now be undermining our relationships. So how do you know if a budding relationship is prone to struggle or success? How can you improve a long-term relationship that is stuck in a season of frustration? “

I really enjoyed her book because the following strategies can help so many people to:

1. identify your relationship style (and your partner's) -

2. understand the strengths and challenges of that style

3. overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships
