[quote=Anonymous]Yep, we went to family therapy with my runner when he was about the same age (12). I thought we were in for months/years of therapy but things really improved after just a few sessions and we were finished after a few months. FWIW, we do not restrain him as that just makes things worse. The therapy also helped with his emotional regulation and helped us not be so rigid or strict with him. He too does not react at all to "If you run away, you won't have your computer for a day/month/year." Instead we back way down when we see him losing control. Luckily, between the ages of 11 and 15 he has matured a lot and largely grown out of these issues. His best years of childhood are the most recent ones. Good luck, my kid like this was really hard and I didn't have many of my friends who were experiencing the same things so it felt very lonely.[/quote]
