[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 41741, member: 393"] I have learned to recognize "out of control" rages, meltdowns that are illness/disorder related & moments of outright defiance. It's pretty easy with kt. Having said that, whether it's a choice or related to her disorders kt's therapist is working with kt on hanging onto that part of her that is in control. Even when kt is dissociative there is still a part that can take back control. therapist is working on kt reaching for that part. This has been years in the making & we're finally reaching the level of using her parts (angry, sad, defiant, jealous, happy, silly, whatever) & recognizing that all those parts make up who she is. therapist wants kt to know that her "out of control" part doesn't have to take over - she can ask for help from an adult to use self calming skills. This past week when the crisis team was out, kt was aware enough of her distress to ask for help. She was aware that she couldn't do this herself. While she still went dissociative that part of her was aware & asked for help. I seem to be rambling here - sorry. I do believe there is a part of our difficult children that know & choose to make life miserable. I call it being ornery. I am also aware of the disorder/illnesses that can take over - a difficult child becomes engulfed in the very emotion they are feeling. It defines them. [/QUOTE]
