Books and Methods Review - Connected/ Therapeutic Parenting - Karyn Purvis/ TBRI


Karyn Purvis



Dr. Purvis gives an overview lecture of Trust-Based Relational Intervention®. TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.


“When you connect to the heart of a child, everything is possible.”
– Dr. Karyn Purvis


List of TBRI Providers

Marythemom:  I haven’t specifically used TBRI (it became more well-used after my children were older). At the one informational seminar I attended, I did see a lot of similarities to the techniques we already use.
