Some teens do it for reasons of rebellion, and others do it for the thrill. Being able to "get away" with something can be quite thrilling. Peer pressure is another reason for teenage shoplifting. If their friends are doing it, some teens feel as though they have to as well, in order to "fit in." Complex reasons for teen shoplifting include cries for help. A teenager may be in an abusive situation, or feel a great deal of stress or anxiety. Stealing can give them a sense of control over their lives, and give them a sense of euphoria that they do not normally get. Some teenagers steal as a way to draw attention to themselves. Another reason for teenage shoplifting is a desire for things they cannot afford. Some teens shoplift brand name items so that they can keep up with fads. Others shoplift so that they can buy drugs or alcohol. In these cases, teen shoplifting serves as a sign of a teenage drug or alcohol dependency. How you can help stop teen shoplifting If your teenager is caught stealing, it is important for you to react in a way that shows him or her that there are consequences for such behavior without becoming overly emotional or upset with your teenager. If engaged in teen shoplifting, bring your teenager back to the store to return the item and meet with security personnel. Most stores do not prosecute the first time it happens, and most judges (in cases where stores do prosecute) are fairly lenient on first-time offenders. However, teenagers should be made aware, by you, the store and the judge, that the consequences increase with each offense. There is little sympathy and tolerance for repeat teenage shoplifting offenders. kleptomania It can be difficult for teenagers to stop shoplifting. Studies show that one third of teens caught shoplifting say that it is difficult to quit of factors including the thrill, the desire for expensive items, the need to pay for drugs 00:25:00EDRCnomy child steals,stealing,why kids steal,setting boundaries with kids,stealing and eating disordersReasons for teen shoplifting There are several reasons for teen shoplifting.

Today we will be giving you a little information about these groups and finishing our series on Shame. I have assisted many many clients over the years learn they have the strength to recover within themselves and that support is simply just one tool for recovery. It is truly wonderful observing individuals learning to trust themselves and feel an internal pride of accomplishment from the fact they are the reason recovery is occuring! While recovery is tough work nothing appears more satisfying than watching individuals learn that their negative self-talk might be wrong, finding a new strength they never imagined they were capable of, and moving forward to lead their own lives without the haunting negativity that accompanies ED. It has been my goal throughout my career to provide reasonalble treatment, education and support for those suffering from eating disorders. We are now moving into the technological world of today and are going to start providing support via skype to those desiring extra assistance with their recovery process. If this sounds like it might be a good fit to you feel free to research information on us on this site (www.addictions.net). Within my practice are two more eating disorder therapists. Cadey & Mike have been working with me for over 9 years and and bring their own unique aspects of treating eating disorders. We have all worked successfully together assisting many clients into recovery. All three of us will be involved with the support groups. In addition all three of us monitor the message forum and can provide extra support throughout the week. It is a perfect situation for recovery. * How to recover * Various forms of relapse * Spotting how Shame impacts one's thinking * Cognitive Distortions * Relationships * Holidays and how to survive them * - We may also be utilizing our worksheets from our Workbook as well. 00:30:00EDRCnoSKYPE support Groups,Eating Disorder Skype Support Groups,Online support for eating disorders,eating disorders and skype support,skypeWe are proud to announce our NEW SKYPE SUPPORT GROUPS!

After working with clients suffering from eating disorders and their significant others I have learned many things. Some of those lessons include: Denial of the seriousness of the disordered behavior from any perspective – the clients, their family members/significant others or the medical community can be destructive in several ways: • The most devastating denial comes in the form of ignoring of a potential cry for help by the sufferer. Denial provides the external validation that the deadly behavior is indeed not really a problem giving the sufferer permission to continue a slow form of suicide. This leaves the psychological message that ‘the individual is not worthy of love or concern’. • Potentially the denial by others provides support for the continuance of the life-threatening behavior. • The denial of the sufferer themselves allows for not only the continuation of the destructive behavior but additionally the avoidance of often current significant life circumstances. • Finally but most importantly – the denial of others to recognize the serious problem sends inadvertently the message that ‘the sufferer is not important enough to be cared for’. Eating disorders are not ‘life-stages’. It cannot be counted on that an individual will ‘outgrow’ the behavior. Also the simplistic attitude of ‘just stop it’ causes increased demoralization for the sufferer. While often this is said with good intentions it is generally not heard that way. It is not my intention to be disrespectful in any manner however; if it truly were as simple as ‘just stop it’ or ‘just eat’ I think the medical community would have caught onto that concept – maybe some 30+ years ago. 00:30:00EDRCnoEmotion of SHAME,Impact of SHAME,EAting Disorders and shame,eating disorders,recovery from eating disordersWe are going to begin an overview of shame and it's impact on individual's suffering with eating disorders.

The emotion of shame causes extreme thought process distortions leading the individual into thinking and ultimately believing false truths about themselves. There is a definable 'language of shame' often heard through individual's thoughts about themselves. It can be described as the critical derogatory punitive self-talk that ulitmately undermines any self of self-respect, negativity about the self that renders one incapable of believing anything positive about the self and ultimately leading to extreme black and white thinking. These thought processes foreclose the individual to thinking that there is anything positive about the self ensuring the individual requires the need for alternative (often self-destructive and addictive in nature) coping skills. These are utilized as means to stabilize the internal devastation caused by the faulty thought processes. Today we will begin looking at this reactionary behavior to this excrutionally emotionally painful experience of shame.00:30:00EDRCnoCognitive distortions,shame,black and white thinking,shame and rage,distorted thinking of eating disordersThis is such a very important aspect of the recovery process for someone who is shame-bound (as all eating disorder sufferors are).

The first step and most important thing to remember throughout your experience with a loved one who suffers from an eating disorder is to have empathy. The best way to describe empathy is that it is like standing in someone else's shoes. Empathy is an effort to understand someone's experience as they experience it and to convey that understanding. The only way to do this is to not be invested in changing the person or in getting her to change her perspective; that can come later. Before a loved one is going to be able to see another perspective, they will need to know that someone recognizes the legitimacy and importance of theirs. Don't worry that empathizing is not enough and that you need to do something or get your loved one to do something. It is true that if you stop at empathy you can love and understand someone with an eating disorder to death, but empathy is a necessary first step and must be continually maintained. Once a person knows you understand and are not going to try and take over or take the eating disorder away, then you can begin helping in other ways such as getting information, finding specialists, making appointments, reassuring, and even confronting. Just remember that all of this needs to take place after a person first feels understood and accepted. Asking for help is usually one of the hardest things for those suffering from eating disorders to do. They need to learn that asking for and receiving help is not a weakness and they do not need to handle everything alone. Ultimately this helps them to learn that they can reach out to people instead of their eating disorder behaviors to escape from their pain. Even if there are limits to what you can do, they need to know you can help. 00:30:00EDRCnoHow to help someone with eating disorder,eating disorder,when to seek help for eating disorder,loved one has eating disorder,dos and dontsBe Empathic And Understanding.

The focus will be more on 'what to do' rather than 'what to avoid'. This presents potentially a very different perspective on the holidays. A perspective that allows for the possiblility of empowering the individual rather than being in a defensive out-of-control position. Those with eating disorders need to give themselves permission to enjoy the holidays focussing on relationships with people rather than a relationship with food. It allows the individual to quiet the mind from it's often relentless negativity that tears away any small amount of self-esteem left as a result of years of degrading the self! By shifting the focus onto relationships rather than food it allows the individual to step out (if only briefly)from the internal devastation and move toward being present and feel more alive. It allows the individual to part of rather than isolated from. This experience allows the possibilty for a sense of empowerment and inclusion. Remember for just today I can be myself - giving myself the permission to experience the greatest gift of the season - freedom from my own harsh critical internal self-talk. I can be myself and share that person with those around me just for today! 00:30:00EDRCnoeating disorders and the holidays,the holidays,recovering from eating disorders,critical self-talk,new goals for the holidaysToday I will be reviewing 12 steps to negotiate the holidays while recovering from an eating disorder.

Most would love to respond to shameful situations with dignity, grace, and poise. If only our bodies would cooperate. Instead: * We feel our faces getting warmer * We cannot force our eyes to look forward * Our heads bend toward the ground * Maybe our chest becomes heavy * Our heart might pound (we sense we are not in control of our bodies) * Some may feel an empty sensation in our gut * Time crawls as we are gripped in acute self- consciousness * We can barely talk * We are ashamed and can become ashamed of our shame Shame: Is almost always a physical event which includes 2 other physical responses * We start to feel smaller and smaller * The persons around us seem to get bigger, louder, and more dangerous Shamed people feel open, vulnerable, and exposed to others despite the effort to shrink down. Shame is very much a mental process. We do think about shame, and sometimes we cannot stop thinking about our embarrassments, defeats, and humiliations. Ending by calling ourselves terrible names. Here are thoughts that shamed people tell themselves: * I am defective (damaged, broken, a mistake, flawed) * I am dirty (ugly, unclean, disgusting, impure) * I am incompetent (not good enough, inept, useless) * I am unwanted (unloved, unappreciated, uncherished) * I deserve to be abandoned (forgotten, unloved, left out) * I am weak (small, puny, feeble) * I am bad (awful, dreadful, evil, despicable) * I am pitiful (contemptible, miserable, insignificant) * I am nothing (worthless, invisible, unnoticed, empty) * I deserve criticism (condemnation, disapproval, destruction) * I feel ashamed (embarrassed, humiliated, dishonored) 00:15:00EDRCnoEmotion of SHAME,Shame and Rage,shame workbook,cognitive distortions,Causes of eating disordersThe Physical Component of Shame The sudden feeling strong shame is an overpowering experience.

Part 2The holidays can be very stressful for someone recovering from and eating disorder. In our 1st part we discussed the importance of planning in decreasing the stress of these hectic days ahead. We also discussed briefly exercise, the relapse warfare sheet, relaxation, and remembering to take care of ourselves as additional important focusses. Today we will be looking at relationships because the holidays tend to bring us into contact with individuals that may cause additional stress or not. As always the statement 'you can't chose your family but can choose your friends' applies. While family can be very important it can also bring with it some negative emotional experiences unfortunately. If this is the case it is imperative to have coping skills to assist individuals to have a more positive holiday experience. So we will be focussing on that issue in particular in conjunction with all the other postivie holiday survival techniques.00:14:00EDRCnocoping strategies and eating disorders,eating disorders and holidays,holidays and relationships,holidays and shame,eating disordersThe holidays can be very stressful for someone recovering from and eating disorder.

It contains 142 copyable worksheets covering a variety of topics that lie beneath disordered eating behavior. The worksheets enhance the therapeutic process by allowing the client to explore more deeply issues that may apply to their particular situations. As in the homework from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy this workbook allows the client to further their therapeutic process outside of treatment appointments. The worksheets often provide the therapist or client further areas needing to be explored. The design of the worksheet assists the client to process through issues but also provides some closure for the client and provides empowerment through education. This workbook may well serve as a 'must have' for therapists working/specializing in the treatment of Eating Disorders. It was designed following a longitudinal research study studying focussing on the role 'shame' plays in the development and sustaining of disordered eating patterns, negative self image, & the harsh internal critic that destroys self-esteem. Examples of topics include: 'Cognitive Distortions', 'What is This Bad Feeling Anyway?', 'Internal & External Locus of Control', 'Relapse', 'Holidays', & 'Feelings Uninhibited'. 00:10:00EDRCnoeating disorder recovery workbook,workbook for eating disorders,recovery workbook,assistance with recovery from eating disorder,worksheets that help eating disordersThis is a workbook created for both clinicians and clients.
