Update

Well, we haven't been doing anything since our sickness. This past week was way too busy with guests the weekend before Thanksgiving and then 36 people for Thanksgiving day. I plan to get back to work tomorrow so we can graduate in January. S was exposed to babies and toddlers this past weekend. She was okay until she heard one of them cry. This has always been a trauma trigger for her. She told me that the babies were spanked for crying when she lived in China. She said she was NOT spanked for crying. She also said she didn't cry. She still doesn't cry unless she is really hurt. She has been in a period of negativity lately, I think I need to call the attachment therapist for some new strategies. She immediately goes into, "I'm bad." Now I tell her I will put her in time out if she keeps saying negative things about herself. She seems to 'get' that I don't want to hear her say bad things about herself. It is so sad, I would have never predicted she would go through this.
