Chat Moderator ok - we're not talking about the "rebirthing" thing... but about therapeutic holding?
JodyHOST Kay, many feel that it is simply too invasive. Recently, there was a
death of a child due to RAD treatment....rebirthing.
poppyflr Well, I know what sort of abuse and neglect he (and his sisters and brother) have been through.
Johnsmom Poppy start with asking him everyday, on a scale of 1-10 how are you feeling today? then ask ok now what feeling are you feeling, angry,sad or glad
KAYDOC mine can really get on a roll talking - play, dream and history work has helped
poppyflr I already know he is angry......at his mother mostly.
Chat Moderator poppy, I think one of the hardest things a parent has to do is remove the emotion of the reasons out of it - my parents would blame abuse and use it as a reason for not pushing
JodyHOST if his Mother is no longer available to him...then the next "Mom" is the target of their wrath
poppyflr that would be me..
JodyHOST Amen, Chat Moderator
JodyHOST Here too, poppy
SusanMW I'm slowly learning the Nancy Thomas stuff and trying to put it all back on Hannah, instead of me getting emotional...it works when I can do it...
Johnsmom mine is sitting strong at the moment, a technique used to teach self control..............
poppyflr what is sitting strong?
Chat Moderator it's so hard Susan
SusanMW and I get so tired...!
Johnsmom Yes! Susan that's what I am using also. it is tiring but well worth it
SusanMW Strong sitting...Hannah sits cross legged at a wall, straight back, no movement...time to think and get control
JodyHOST can you share with us?
poppyflr oh...I've been doing that with Michael and didn't know it was a technique... :)
Johnsmom strong sitting is a technique that we use to help teach these children self control, they sit with a straight strong back still and quiet - yes what susan said
SusanMWJohnsmom, how long have you being doing Nancy Thomas stuff?
Johnsmom for about 10 minutes 3 times a day is what we do for John. I have been doing it since October 1999 Susan
