[QUOTE="Rob, post: 525909, member: 14453"] I am new here and just posted about my 22 year old daughter. She has had many out bursts throughout her childhood. When she got to be about 12 or 13 it changed from the more hyper violent reaction to more deep anxiety and depression. I can share what I think has worked and what hasn't. She had decent luck with zoloft for a while. But I think what may havegiven her a boost was some hypnotherapy I did when she was about 16. She was fianlly open to it. That started the process of removing the old negative destructive thoughts with more positive affirming ones. She had a CD with the session recordings and used to listen to it all night. Also she went to a camp for kids with these kinds of needs and that was helpful. She ended up working there a couple summers. Her first relationship was healthy, and I think the reason she decided to try college (I never thought she was capable, but she is in her 4th year). Aside from all that, I will also say that staying healthy yourself is a good idea not only for yourself, but your son. When out bursts happen they will worsen if you react. I know it is hard not to, but leave the room if you have to. Try to see him in a compasionate way - a being in pain struggling. And you are the beacon of peace for him, if you can hold that space. The cloud will pass, and your light can shine as it does, otherwise the skies darken more. I suggest tools of meditation, relaxation, centering prayer, yoga, or whatever can get your mind tranquil despite the surroundings. Yesterday was hard for me. In the evening I went to a meditation center and it didn't take long for me to release it all, come to peace, then come back home with it. I have been practicing a long time, but any amount of mind quieting is helpful for all involved. [/QUOTE]
