Re:AM I IN DENIAL - 2008/06/05 15:18 The fact that your daughter tried to overdose on medication in order to get attention is a sign that it may be best for you to get her to talk to a counselor. At this age, it has been studied that teens are more receptive to therapy and it can help mold her behavior for the years to come where she may go through other issues that may lead to destructive actions. Hopefully, if you catch her at this age with the proper therapy, she won’t even reach that stage. Definitely the kinds of issues she may be dealing with from the start of adolescence need the proper attention from a counselor or therapist. Her own physical health is at hand and this must be addressed. By disciplining your daughter, you are concerned with her well-being and future, but what may make this hard to understand for your daughter is that she, on the other hand, is concerned with what she may be presently feeling. This is a normal reaction for a teenager. But with patience and understanding, you will be able to get your point across and help her control any self-destructive impulses in the future.
