It takes as long as it takes. A shift in behavior could occur with a mere change in environment. Ie., they move. The culture can be completely different and change their attitudes. Reminds me of when I worked up in rural Oregon for a while, as none of the girls wore make-up, dressed like rag dolls, and were all over-weight. Yet the guys literally thought they were hot. Different culture.

A change of environment can have a major assisting impact. One of my clients who has an eating disorder had a breakthrough in therapy 4 weeks before going off to college. Since being at college, she has not acted on her eating disorder once. It was a combination of the breakthrough and the change of environment that did it. And though I'm sure the former had an impact, the latter was important, too.

And that is a good analogy, I agree.

Thanks. I'd like to say it's original, but I got it from a colleague.
 
BTW, anyone other than me noticed that Kayleigh has been viewing this thread for a bit? ;)

Without getting too specific of course, what was the breakthrough?

I'm trying to think how to put this without getting specific......

She was able to make the connection between the origination of her issues with self esteem, the origination of her issues with loss, and the origination of her issues with the difficulty she has connecting with people. It was related to the relationship with a family member and how it has changed. I had suspected this, but more came out this summer that confirmed it. I had been working with her for 4 years and it was the first time I had ever seen her cry. She's been able to identify that it has made a huge difference for her in how she feels about herself...just understanding certain aspects of the issue that she didn't/couldn't understand before.

And yes, this was all done without medication. ;) :)

Very Well Done.

Thank you. Very nice, smart girl. Wonderful to see her somewhat happy for the first time in a long time.

Tremendous amounts of "life force" get trapped in moments of loss. Truly relieving a serious loss in someone's life is the most effective therapy one can give.

Absolutely. The loss is not what you would think, but it was extraordinarily powerful. Full recognition of this started the healing.

Well......... Tucker is always talking about how small his dick is. I'm pretty sure the DSM has something to say about that. The attention he gets from mentioning it all the time surely has to be a symptom of something! ;)

A disease called Reverse Penile Elephantitis. It'll be in the DSM-V...I have an advance copy. :mrgreen:

Lightdemon said:
Geez, they just keep coming up with these confusing names don't they? Couldn't they just call it Tiny Dick Syndrome? Reverse Penile Elephantitis is just so counter-intuitive...

Let's not threadjack this threadjack and make it about my tiny penis.

And the technical name of my disorder is "Microphallititis Extremus".
 
rivrrat said:
I don't deny that it has. It's just that since her first random post on the subject, and her subsequent numerous random posts on the subject, I honestly never thought "eating disorder". My immediate thought was "attention seeking", since I've just never seen someone with an eating disorder TELL everyone about it. I likened it to my niece throwing temper tantrums. And I just have a tendency not to encourage negative behavior by giving the person engaging in said negative behavior whatever it is they want.

But, I'm only an amateur psychologist. ;)

I think you have a point here. But I still think she has body image issues.

I think KK is under the impression that we are impressed by her being rich and skinny. That seems to be how "her circle" values people. Michael Jackson is their hero. :mrgreen:

We've talked about this before on this forum. I guess one of the side effects is a very nice, new car(or a big truck if you live in the country).

I have a really crappy car, but despite the inference that I would be packing, women remained unimpressed.

My wife said that your wife put out a cease and desist order at their meetings.

(Yes, that is why they go to the bathroom in packs.)

Well, they do that too. You should see the secret "handshake". :lol:

You are focused of length. True, it may only be an inch and a quarter long, but it has an 18" diameter. You are hung like a manhole cover. :mrgreen:
 
I observe that discussion of who has the smallest and/ or most deformed dick has overtaken the forum lately, and bled over into every thread.
What up wit that?
