[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678917, member: 18958"] Suzir, I do not know about the incident. Perhaps you did not talk about it, certainly it was before my time. There are so many newer effective therapies for PTSD, for trauma. The name they are given in general is "somatic therapies" of which EMDR is the most known, but there are others. If you google something like somatic treatment of trauma you will find some links. I am reading a book now called [U]Walking Your Blues Away[/U] which is written by a man who primarily is popular TV/Radio personality here in the States, who is also a psychologist type person. Hartmann is his name. Which makes this interesting to me is that he does a survey of the more than century old study of somatic therapies for trauma, which luminaries such as Freud pursued, and abandoned. He discusses the fact that since primordial times, humans and their antecedents, have had an inborn mechanism to "walk off" the legacy of trauma. What I am saying here is that you will likely not find this outlook among mainstream practitioners. Your son might find this perspective appealing. Yes. Or a little bit later, like 27 or 28. I will speak of myself here. I had a fairly class-based set of expectations for my son, that I did not acknowledge even to myself. While no parent that I know would say, yeah-yeah, a life spent devoted to marijuana while homeless!!! I must find ways to think about and accept a more generous and flexible way of assessing our lives as successful or not. I am grateful to you, Suzir, that you have opened up the dialog COPA [/QUOTE]
