[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 757693, member: 18958"] In this incident with the slicing imagery, he didn't manifest anger or strong emotion, did he? Are you logging these incidents, in terms of catalyst or trigger, emotion, objective, time of day, context (and probably more variables)? The more info you give a professional the better. It's plausible that he is using violent imagery in an instrumental sense. i.e. it works to get him what he wants. Imagine somebody powerless that stumbles upon something that works so well, to get him what he wants, or stops what he doesn't want. I don't think it's clear that he is actually feeling strong emotion such as anger, destructiveness or violence. The more we can keep ourselves from filling in the blanks with what we fear, or how we construe things, the better. [/QUOTE]
