Reunification proceedings may be stressful and a difficult process. The goal of the process is to achieve a stable relationship between parent and child, and a reduction in conflict between parties. However, it is common for individuals to experience heightened anxiety, distress, emotional and behavioral reactions, and interpersonal strain between adults, and in the parent-child relationship. Unexpected changes in mood and functioning sometimes occur that cannot be predicted. Please confer with me if you have any concerns at any point in the process.
