Getting to know Laurie Couture

Laurie A. Couture is a licensed mental health counselor and the author of Instead of Medicating and Punishing and the best seller, Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons. She developed The Couture Protocol (TCPC), an evidence-based, whole-child program of treating developmental and generational trauma in children, youths, and their families. Laurie provides consulting, presentations, training, and research reports to industries, agencies, and programs that directly serve children, youths, and families. Laurie discovered early in her professional career that our society's institutions are out of alignment with nature's intent for children's developmental and attachment needs. What concerned her most was that the institutions in which she worked--behavioral healthcare, education, social services, and juvenile justice--generally reacted to children's alarm signals with labels and behavioral/biochemical interventions that caused more developmental distress. She observed that boys especially suffered and withered in these institutions, as their needs and natural alarm signals were met with denial, hostility, or punishment. Early on, Laurie's independent research took her far beyond her training in psychology and behavioral science into the worlds of: The neuroscience and epigenetics of childhood trauma Attachment's role in child development Parenting and education in Paleolithic tribal cultures Natural sciences and nature's cycles of homeostasis Male victims of sexual and domestic violence
