[QUOTE="Malika, post: 478311, member: 11227"] Hi Ktllc. Funnily enough, I was thinking about you yesterday, wondering how you and your boy were (well, we don't know each other, but you know...) I would imagine that what lies behind the "stuckness" (and my son gets stuck too, though not quite in the same way) is anxiety, and it is as if the anxiety is displaced by having the "ritual object", whatever it is. That is what causes the meltdown - horror and fear, you are are taking him off without the object that makes him feel safe in that moment. And then being left by either of his parents also causes fear and anxiety? I am sure you do already, but I guess you have to accommodate him as much as you can - difficult to do when you have a busy schedule to work around, of course. As for getting to the underlying anxiety... that is rather bigger and wider. Are you still seeing the therapist? Hugs. It's not easy. [/QUOTE]
