[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 703275, member: 18958"] Well, if it is psychological, there is a great deal of hope. She has a story. She can make new stories. It will take time. I have known many, many people through my work with early stories such as her own. They have made themselves wonderful people. Good people. The problem you have got is she is too young to know how to do what she has to do. And soon hormones will kick in. Now is the time to get a handle before that happens. Hopefully there is time. In addition to doing all that you are doing, I would encourage as much exercise as you can. Of all sorts. Running. Walking. Equestrian. Every single thing to divert and channel her energy away from the destructive or self-destructive. And I would encourage any form of art or craft. And music. There is a lot of current work being done now on trauma and how the human body has intrinsic non-verbal mechanisms to deal with trauma, inherited from early human and non-human ancestors. You will find books on Amazon. Google [I]Somatic Treatments for Trauma[/I]. While there are mental health practitioners who specialize in this, any repetitive bilateral activity like walking, knitting, crochet, artwork, running, etc. will serve. The latter, the artwork and needlework have been found to be as effective as meditation, in dealing with anxiety and other distress. I will look for the name of a book I bought (not yet read) that may serve as an introduction to this way of thinking. The author is a man named Peter Levine, a psychologist. Another prominent figure in this school of thought is somebody named Von Bessel or something like that. You will see his name on amazon. [/QUOTE]
