Sometimes, dealing with impulsivity is very difficult and requires time and therapeutic work. We hope that if your daughter has been working with these professionals for some time, she has found a safe and supportive environment where she can continue to address these challenges.
Families who witness so much sustained suffering can easily feel overwhelmed and helpless. The risk of anticipating events or the need to do something becomes urgent and unstoppable. Not anticipating events and not letting one's own anguish take over can provide support that benefits everyone. This is very difficult to do alone, so finding a space that helps guide and support everyone through this process is often helpful.
