Critical Conversation: Laura Wiley Haynes
Laura and I dive into a conversation about crucial child developmental stages and how the healthy processing of these stages leads to a healthy regulation and healthy sense of self whereas being abused, neglected, or left to one's own devices in this time can lead to disregulation and dissociation and leaves kids vulnerable to transgender ideation.
Laura Wiley Haynes grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. She received a degree in English and American Literature from Brown University in 1983, and later her Master of Fine Arts, in Poetry, from The Bennington Writing Seminars. She worked in film in her early career, first in production and development and later as a screenwriter. After having children, she wrote part time from home, and over time became active as both a La Leche League Leader and a Bradley Childbirth Teacher. In 2015 Laura became a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Foster Youth, a trained paraprofessional role which combines advocacy, mentoring, and friendship for each foster youth, for as long they remain in the system. She has studied developmental psychology, neuroscience, and C-PTSD, to better understand the needs of this population, as well as the most effective ways of healing from early trauma.
