An Evening with "Seen" - A Transformative Documentary This groundbreaking Australian documentary explores the transformative power of personal healing for parents, and delves into the scientifically supported effects of such healing on parenting and child brain development. The film breaks new ground by focusing on an often-overlooked truth: that when parents focus on their own growth and healing it creates ripple effects that extend far beyond individual growth. Through honest, raw stories from real families, "Seen" demonstrates the profound potential that emerges when we courageously examine our own trauma, attachment patterns and childhood coping mechanisms, to break cycles that have persisted across generations. The documentary also explores the real challenges parents navigate in today's world, revealing that we are not alone in the struggles that prevent us from showing up fully for our children. This goes beyond storytelling to offer hope and possibility for genuine transformation. The film shows how personal healing becomes the foundation for deeper understanding, stronger relationships and emotional liberation that benefits entire families across generations. Join us for this screening in Whakatū, hosted by Lydia from Full Circle Psychology and Hayley from Stepping Stones Therapy and Yoga. Lydia supports mothers, parents and women's health journeys, recognising how whānau wellbeing is deeply interconnected from pregnancy through parenthood, and how systemic issues and inadequate support structures compound parenting challenges. Hayley brings over 20 years of clinical mental health experience alongside yoga therapy, supporting people through trauma recovery, disordered eating and personal growth. Together, they're bringing this important film to Nelson because they believe in the power of conscious healing to transform families.
