Catching Up-again
We had our Spring Break this past week, so there hasn't been any time to catch up. I really need to prioritize better. I have a bunch of organize books and websites to peruse, yet don't make time to do it. I just typed a huge post and it didn't save!!! So much for trying to catch up. Now I don't have the time to write it all over again. So the short version is that we had a breakthrough with emotion. I think I was able to turn around the situation and make it something good. She was saying she didn't want to live and then when we went to bed, she was letting out these deep half scream, half cries. I told her how proud I was of her that she let herself cry. She really wasn't letting herself cry, but I grabbed the opportunity to convince her that it was an amazing thing. It really was, because I have only seen this type of release only 2 other times. They were each very healing, but horrible to go through. She seemed to be comforted by the thought that what she was doing was a good thing. When it was over, her mood took a complete about face. She was sweet and happy and telling me she wanted to live forever. The next morning all was fine. This morning she woke up saying she was in a bathroom and lost forever.(her nightmare) This comes from our 2 recent trips where she ran ahead onto an elevator and train. I had to tell her she could get lost if the doors closed and we weren't right behind her. When we are pulling luggage, we can't run into those places as fast as her. I wish I had ime to elaborate like I did in the erased post, but I don't. We go for our re-eval in less than 2 weeks. I am not expecting to graduate, but we are close. I'm ready to move on and do the integrated listening program with her over the summer. That should take care of any remaining issues.
