Neuroreorg, EMDR and Amino Acid Therapy

Well apparently we are now in the possession of the neuro reorg exercises that can unlock "Pandora's Box". We are not really sure what that means, but our interpretation is that the fetal exercises we have just started could possibly open the door to a lot of unresolved trauma in K that could come out in her behaviors. Having just started a therapeutic Kindergarten class, there are a lot of moving pieces and parts and it may be hard if a break down does occur, to determine whether it was the exercises or the transitions. So far, nothing earth shattering with the EMDR other than the bilateral stimulation really seems to help calm her when she starts spiraling out of control, so we have been working specifically between the neuro reorg and the EMDR to help give her some coping techniques when things get stressful that will work for her. The teacher even used the jumping technique today at the first day of school! K has surprised us in the last week expressing her feelings, likes and dislikes in a productive manner on a positive note, on a not so positive note, she has seriously ramped up her irritation of her siblings. I remembered something the other day from the trauma conference in that because our kids hurt so much of the time, they want everyone around them to feel as awful as they do. I realized that this may be what she is doing, and succeeding, so we need to pull out our tool box and do some thinking on that one. We will see how the rest of the week goes, she did rock the mohawk on her first day of school, very Grace Jones!

I cannot even imagine the amount of work and daily planning it takes to get 4 kids up and off to school, much less include all the therapy sessions. I have heard that it can take a long time, maybe even years, but progress can be made with the therapy you are trying. Know that we are thinking of your whole family and praying for you each day. We know you can do this!
