Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a therapeutic approach designed to support children who have experienced trauma, particularly those with attachment issues. It focuses on creating a safe and nurturing environment where the child can express their feelings and experiences. DDP emphasizes the importance of the caregiver's role in fostering emotional connections and understanding the child's needs.
The therapy is based on the principles of attachment theory and aims to enhance the parent-child relationship. By promoting open communication and emotional regulation, DDP helps children develop healthier relationships and cope with their past experiences, ultimately leading to improved emotional well-being.
