And now to my client of many years who inspired this new form of communication for an e-illiterate like me. She struggles with unnamed and all pervasive fears. She is bright and highly sensitive and a little socially uncomfortable. She has a few diognoses that include at least OCD. She has absorbed her mother's fears so completely it is hard for her to see them as seperate from herself. They have become a part of her as they were a part of her mother. She continues the crazy and irrational rituals that a part of her beleives keep her safe.
She will find a place where it is OK to be and her fears will fade. Until then she continues to inspire me.
Yesterday i saw a convicted child porn offender. I have been wondering about the the way interest in internet pornography has been developing. This man is middle aged and desperate for a relationship. He had contact with a "child" on an adult (over 18 only) chat sight and behaved badly and stupidly. He stopped the contact. Many months after the contact stopped he was arrested. He had been out of contact for so long he had no idea what the charges were about. His life has been changed forever. On the sex offender register for many years to come.
On the same day we hear that another father has bee found to have raped his daughter for thirty years. He fathered four children with her. This time in australia. this time the authorities had been notified.
Ioften wonder if the problem is not so much the stanger on the internet but the isolated and insular family that lives around the corner.
Today i met with a wonderful mum who is learnng to live with her daughter. Her daughter has all the markers of a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder; she is hugely unstable emotionally, switches from "loving to hating" in a moment, has intense and often negative romantic emotions and has a history of harming herself. This mum is learning to respond with simplicity, with acceptance and with kindness. She is learning to not "react" to statements or behaviors designed to inflame the situation. She is learning to hold her daughter's emotions "lightly" without becoming emotionally involved with them. She is also learning to protect herself from the hurtful words that come her way. She is learning boundaries. A bit like counselling really...
thinking about investigating the possibility of a Phd with bullying at the centre of it. I've noticed that in our area bullying is a very significant problem. Our local high school seems to be powerless to stop it. It spills over into inter-family conflict: mum, dad, siblings and even grandma all involved! I wonder if the programs get implemented at all? I also wonder if so much is already known about bullying but it still exists because what is known is not implemented? So what gets in the way of the implementing? i would be interested if any one out there could suggest some recent research.
