[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 128925"] Sharon, with his age and cognitive issues I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't feel himself getting out of control. That requires insight and with his age and issues I wouldn't be surprised if he's not there. To him, it's happening TO him not FROM him. It's only been within the last couple of years (as in no more than 2) that difficult child can see it. We started by focusing on the physical issues that go with it. In her case the anxiety caused stomach aches, shortness of breath, etc, and she absolutely did not make the connection between the physical symptoms and the emotional/mental. So, when I started to see her 'losing it' (for lack of a better term), I would ask her how she's feeling with specific questions, such as, does your tummy hurt? Do you notice any physical changes when difficult child loses control? Does his breathing change - breathing faster, harder? That may be a way to help him realize when he is losing control. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
