Hi
I am seeking some help for the son of a friend of mine. Have known the family a long time.
To his credit he’s trying to get his life together after all that has happened. So we have addiction alcohol, cocaine, neurotransmitter issues for rapidly changing moods inc depression, anxiety/fear ADD/ADHD spectrum, and from her point of view severe narcissism. He has some brain injury after almost being beaten to death. That was his wake up. Had a few seizures and on meds for that due either to beating and/or some of the drugs.
On his behalf his mom is playing brain injury and addiction. She is not always in room while they are playing
- He won’t listen but can his mom and others use fields as surrogates? do you have to be present? Does this work?
- Any other suggestions for listening?
I am thinking Amygdala, depression, Concentration. I don’t want to take on too much but I want to get to a point that he will do this on his own. The narcissism issue is a big one because he believes he can do all this and has it all figured out etc. I need something to puncture some distorted belief systems he has created.
Thanks
Sam
