Helps with physical pain, quiets his mind, helps with nightmares from a trauma he endured.  It’s “fun”.   Kid has had a lot. I worry about it because it’s grown in frequency I’m trying to figure out if I can really make peace with it and get him into a practitioner that is skilled in this area and have him get medical grade and help with strains etc.  I’m fairly open minded but this also flies in the face of the evidence of brain impact particularly for lagging frontal lobe maturation in young men.

What’s causing his physical pain? [/quote]

Yes and there is trauma? [/quote]

He was in a terrible accident.  [/quote]
It’s interesting that you didn’t find that worthy of a mention in your laundry list of his perceived failures. That really explains a lot of the things. Someone in pain doesn’t want to play sports, might feel angry, unmotivated. Are you minimizing his traumas?[/quote]

I’m not sure why I didn’t.  I don’t think I’m minimizing his trauma as I am experiencing it too.  Yes, the pain and dashed athletic dreams are a reality that has definitely been tough. [/quote]

Has he done EMDR? Also DBT?

I find talk therapy less than ideal for trauma.

Also, I did not face this with my child but a friend of mine did... she finally helped her find a doctor who could prescribe pot to ensure her daughter was getting safe pot from a safe source. [/quote]
