[QUOTE="Star*, post: 125332, member: 4964"] Hi Pnt, Welcome to the board - You said she enjoys going to the therapist - and you asked for suggestions - My son has severe PTSD and EMDR therapy is doing very well for him. It's similar to hypno therapy, but it allows you and the therapist to work backwards (so to speak). You have a traumatic event, then you have daily events and stressors piled on top of that event, and then you try to cope but most times as a child you don't have good coping skills so you get what is called poor coping skills or self-taught stims to help you with the traumatic event. And eventually it's like putting a blanket on top of a blanket on top of a blanket and before you know it - you're smothering (acting out behaviors) So what EMDR therapy does is digs around and removes stressors from today and takes away a blanket at a time until you arrive at the first blanket you put on the trauma - and eventually (sometimes in a month sometimes in years) you deal and face that problem with a trained therapist. I've used it for domestic violence and it worked very well for me. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
