Question:
My daughter is having problems with peer presure and it is starting to affect her school work. Do you have any advice? |
|
|
Answer:
It is very painful as a parent to watch our children struggling. Peer pressure is particularly strong and difficult for girls.

Question:
I have been pulling my hair out for years and would really like to kick the habit, I have been avoiding counselling as I have children and am afraid that because I pull my hair out, children's aid may be brought into our lives? Can I get help without involving my children? |
|
|
Answer:
Hair-pulling is a compulsive behaviour that is usually triggered by anxiety and stress. This activity is not, in itself, a risk to your children.

Question:
I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder 7 years ago. I received therapy during the initial diagnosis to help me overcome the challenges I was facing. I was completely symptom free for a while, but I seem to be having a "relapse"... something that began a few years ago. I kept supressing the issues and not dealing with them properly, and now I have full blown OCD issues that are interfering with my life. Is this something that I can get help with through counselling at Mosaic? |
|
|
Answer:
It sounds like you have worked hard and successfully dealt with your OCD issues in the past.

Question:
My sister has been three times in a crisis center in a Hospital...once because she took an overdose. She has been prescribed medications by the psychiatrist but won't take them saying they erase her memory. She is currently living with me and my husband. While I don't see or hear any more suicidal thoughts, I still see/hear paranoia. So far we are doing o.k. but I know that I am on edge with lack of privacy...she listens to my phone calls...and always is around. My husband is also getting edgy...he is wonderful and is committed to seeing my sister get well and get her life back together. I am trying to get her to come to you for counselling but she resists. I would like to come myself for some counselling and wonder what you would have to offer me given these circumstances. I need to learn how to best deal with the situation here. Thank you for any advice you can give. |
|
|
Answer:
You and your husband certainly need to be commended for your efforts to help your sister during this difficult and challenging period in her life.
