[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 60772, member: 3450"] Hi, my difficult child 2 was 13 when she first mentioned hearing voices to me and I about freaked out. For her, it turned out that she dissociates. She knows the voices are coming from within her but her voices too were telling her to do "bad" things and also would fight with each other. When she began getting help they were frantic--they were afraid of disappearing. When she would have some success with something they would try to sabotage it by telling her how stupid she was or that it wasn't important. I think things have improved a lot for her over the last few years but it took quite some time for her to be able to open up to her therapist and for them to be able to figure out what was going on. She had learned to dissociate as a way of coping with her abusive older sister. Now she longer has to protect herself (the sister no longer lives with us and we don't have a lot of contact with her) so she is trying to learn other ways of coping with distress and anxiety. Anyway, there seem to be many reasons why your child could be hearing voices and I am surprised the psychiatrist thinks you should just ignore it--how invalidating for your poor kid! --Jane [/QUOTE]
