Also, what happened to your sister, what pain is she trying to numb with the drugs?[/quote]

“Blame the parents for everything” pp has entered the room. Because it’s never normal teenage social anxiety leading to experimentation leading to much more.[/quote]

She’s not blaming the parents but she most likely was raped at some point.[/quote]

Get help for projecting horrible things onto anonymous people on the interwebs. [/quote]

Statistics is your friend.

There is a huge chance she has trauma. Addiction is a disease in response to something underlying, perhaps she is bipolar or schizophrenic but [b]my $ is on trauma.

You, my lady, are the one projecting.[/quote]

Oh good. Pp has diagnosed a complete stranger and recommended trauma therapy.  Ruling out so many other causes, like untreated depression and anxiety or bad choice of friends.

DCUM never fails to disappoint. [/quote]

What do you think is causing anxiety and depression.

About 70% of addicted adults have trauma in their past.

Just playing the odds.[/quote]

Anxiety and depression are very often genetic. They run in families, and certainly in DH’s. If you don’t even know this much, you have no business giving advice over the internet. [/quote]

But you can diagnose her with anxiety and depression?

[/quote]

Of course not. I’m not diagnosing her with anything. I want a professional to do that. [/quote]

Great but find one that specializes in trauma.[/quote]

And what if the cause is the other 30% even you grudgingly admit is out there? Or one of the many other reasons the Mayo Clinic cites? OP’s sister is SOL because your “hunch” is wrong and her genetic depression/anxiety goes untreated? You suck. You really suck. [/quote]

I’m sure a trauma specialist can rule out trauma.

You suck because you are so bent out of shake about the realization that most addicts had trauma in their past.

Remember tgat next time you think fat people just need to eat less.[/quote]

So if a trauma specialist rules out trauma, then OP's sister has wasted several months with an inappropriate therapist. Do you think that would be a good outcome?

OP's sister needs an ADDICTION therapist. Who will know how to rule trauma in or out, or any other cause, and make the appropriate referrals. This is basic stuff.[/quote]

And if you go to a therapist that doesn’t understand trauma you could get a misdiagnosis and spin your wheels for decades.[/quote]
