Fwd: gratitude and venting

[Guest guest]

Dear Joy, In your response you had in parenthesis " Mr. Frustration will hurt

someone in the family if he tells the doctor his secrets. " ............ Could

you explaine a little more about that. Were you saying that your child hides

their OCD obsessions etc. because they involve intrusive thoughts about

hurting the family?? I was wondering because sometimes I feel like my

daughter who has excessive needs for reassurance and great fears to be alone,

also has intrusive thoughts about hurting our family. she has not shared

this.........but I suspect.........and she talks about a " monster " in her

etc. Just wondered if your child had put into words what my daughter hasn't

been able to =yet........

Thanks, Laurie in WI
