How I Overcame Frozen Emotions, and Re-Connected With Myself

Words can hurt.  Words can heal.  Words can create profound and lasting changes, or humiliate and destroy us.  But they only have that power if we can feel.

A person with frozen emotions is not moved by language.  She hears the words, but they float around somewhere “out there”.  Syllables strung together, hardly meaningful.  Syllables like stones bouncing off a lake.

In my teens, I hung out with the demi-monde of my home town:  pimps, prostitutes, punks, junkies and other persons living on the edge. Though I never shot dope, I would sit for hours watching as my friends did, furiously scribbling stream of consciousness poetry in the manner of a self-described latter-day Beat Poet.

In my later

Medication For Teens Needs to Be one Option among many Medication for Teens Helped Nick

Troubled Teen (Not Nick)

Nick, the middle child of a friend, had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) so bad that the school district paid to send him to a special residential school out of town.  He went through medication for ADHD, anxiety, and mood swings.

At 17, Nick is off all meds, and is in the mainstream school. He still has trouble learning, but he has friends and a girlfriend, and is not a behavior problem.
