[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 513450, member: 11001"] Chimming back in-good discussion. I really think that in many cases maladaptive coping-such as drug use, is triggered by trauma and emotional distress. Some kids are just plain resilient and can weather stress and some trauma-good genetics in tow and just strong emotionally. Some kids have the gene that will cause addiction and some kids have mental health issues that are triggered by emotional pain. Some are more fragile than others. In all of my daughters very extensive treatment-the goal of therapy was to get to the root or core issues as they were called, and then to learn new ways of dealing with psychological stress and in her case, the reoccuring trauma. We were told that getting sober would not be possible if she didn't do this. I do think there comes a point when one must drive on. Going to the deap and dark places over and over cannot be good. I do agree that over-analysis of anything is worthless. But not finding a new way to frame your traumas or emotional distressors means they will haunt you. [/QUOTE]
