[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 742157, member: 23371"] I agree that breathing techniques can help and belong on the list for some people. For me not so much for distress. For me breathing works for self-calming as in the person in front of me in line at the grocery store is paying in pennies rather than bills. Its like counting to 10 for me. But it doesn't help me when there's the fog that's not going to go away in 5 minutes. I guess its a question of how long the distress is going to last? Neither of my son's will admit they have a problem. The oldest won't admit he has either a contamination problem or any problem that might cause him to use. In his terms he uses just because he likes it. The middle one feels entitled to his hysteria and judges my calm or attempts to calm him to be lack of empathy or lack of caring of him. For both, my own therapy is just an attempt to avoid caring and feeling. Psychotherapy to them is for weak people who complain too much! The irony here is that I raised them. And in a world of intelligent, caring people around them. This is nature, not nurture! [/QUOTE]
