[QUOTE="Jena, post: 236889, member: 4514"] Hey you :) I"m so sorry to hear what he's going thru and what your enduring alone over there. Cutting is rough, it's impulsive, and it's a habit and it feels good to them. It's so hard to stop it's like us being told we can't have a cigarette. Has anyone through the course of doctor's and stuff ever implemented a plan on what he "can" do when the urge to cut comes over him? I ran into this pretty badly the other night. Needless to say a plan was implemented that when the urge to cut was upon a person that they need to redirect it into actually doing something "silly" to redirect their brain and work on modifying the wiring. I'Tourette's Syndrome all new to me. The child picks a silly word a word they like, teenagers are using this technique by the way and when the urge overcomes them they write the word as many times as they need to. than another one was doing something an actual act it can be anything at all that they enjoy doing besides cutting or smoking. There's a list of 4 things that are placed on the wall of bedroom, and a list for their pocket. a reward is given weekly if the cutting is decreased. it sounds silly but i'm seeing stuff work i never would of imagined. i agree with the others if this can't be handled and you have been trying so hard an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) would be best. def not foster care placement. I'm sending you hugs and alot of support. sorry i'm so late to this i havne't been on. [/QUOTE]
