[quote=Anonymous]OP--good luck. My DD is also an extrovert, and it wasn't until we went to a really good psychiatrist that we learned she in fact has a lot of anxiety. We were dealing with a lot. Occasional cutting (nothing very entrenched), lying (pretty constant), stealing, skipping classes, and pot use on top of what turned out to be significant medical problems--she now has a visible disability. Trying to change her behavior wasn't working, so as a last ditch effort I decided maybe I needed to change mine. Validation was really helpful--I went from being the worst mother in the whole f---ing world to being the best mother ever. BTW, DD lasted one session in group DBT. It was too new-agey for her. We tried various therapists off on--last was a psychiatrist who totally over medicated her, but we have now found a cognitive behavior psychologist she really seems to click with and things are really coming together.[/quote]
