I
recently had a mother call me from the East coast. She had
a 7-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit
Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD). He was out of control
with anger and rage and would physically attack his fellow
students and even the teachers. He had been expelled 3 times
in the two previous weeks prior to his mother bringing him
to see me. To quote her e-mail to me "Donny (not his
real name) had an outburst at school. He scratched a little
boy all over his face, arms, and back! He got kicked out of
the after school program and is not allowed to go on any school
trips unless an adult accompanies him. He is "on edge
all day" at school, according to his teachers. This means
he is having difficulty sharing with others, paying attention,
and staying focused. He says these bad thoughts just start
coming into his head and he can't stop them! He says he runs
from the teachers because he thinks they are going to hurt
him."
I worked with Donny primarily on his anger and the trauma
he had experienced while being abused on numerous occasions
as a small boy. I primarily use the ADD Dance and EFT (Emotional
Freedom Technique) and some logical level integration. After
several weeks back home, I received the following e-mail from
the mother "Thank you soooo much for the pictures! It
was great, Donny immediately remembered what he was doing
and saying in the pictures! He has now had 2 WEEKS of GREAT,
GREAT DAYS at school, his teacher says it is incredible the
changes she is seeing. She feels certain that what you did
with Donny has made a definite difference."
