Give reasons; talk to one person only; delay; assert yourself. Take a stand and choose to do the right thing despite the groups insistence through teasing or threats. 4) Tell the group what you have decided. Make a choice to not participate and stick to your choice. QP role played group pressure scenarios with Hamza to ensure that he understood the skill building exercise (group wants Hamza to steal candy bar, group pressuring Hamza to deface school property) IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister coping and self management skills to help them deal with life's circumstances. IIH Professional introduced Brandon and her Sister to website: Coping Skills for Kids/Brain Works Project to introduce them to a tool that would benefit them in ther regard without the presence or prompting of Professional support.

IIH Professional taught them how to navigate the website and interact with suggested student involvement activities to support and reinforce concepts, terminology and thinking processes learning about coping skills.

IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister about how the brain plays a big part in our emotions through an activity called "Ways Our Brain Confuses and Fools US". IIH Professional had Brandon and her sister list and discuss some important facts in regard to the ways that the Brain can confuse adolescents such as: 1)The same part of our brain senses when we have physical or emotional pain; 2)An emotional wound-hurt thats inside us and invisible may cause us to hide or attack; 3)Adolescence is a time when we have lots of emotional brain changes that lead to having mixed feelings such as both loving and hating our parents; or being undecided if you like and dislike another person; 4)Ambivalence causes brain confusion because we don't know which of the two different feelings we have is "true." Actually both are. 5)Our brain has a tough time deciding what to do when we have opposite feelings about the same person or thing; 6)Ther uncertainty actually adds to our stress, particularly during adolescence when our emotional brain is becoming more sensitive.

IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister one example of how the brain becomes confused by providing exercises that featured Optical Illusions such as 1) a moving face, Electric Motor Optical Illusion, and a Anomalous Motion Optical Illusion.

IIH Professional prompted Brandon and her sister to reflect on times when they have experienced what they might call brain confusion such as when they were angry at someone they really loved or liked but at that time may have done something bad to that person or wished something bad may have happened to them because they were angry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister coping and self management skills to help them deal with life's circumstances.

IIH Professional revisited the website: Coping Skills for Kids/Brain Works Project to teach Brandon and her sister about the Coping Brain it's three major parts 1) Thinking (neocortex); 2) Emotional (mammalian); and 3) Reptilian (survival) and their Functions because they include sensitivity when experiencing emotional pain and helping us get over ther type of pain.

IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister the definition of "coping brain" (every time we are challenged by new or upsetting experiences our brain must come up with ways to deal with our stress and worry). IIH Professional elaborated on why the "coping brain" activates when we are under emotional stress 1) our brain sometimes needs to find better ways to deal with our upset b/c old ways don't work anymore; 2) we need all three coping brain functions, thinking, feeling, and self protection to get over experiences that make us stressed, worried, angry or upset; 3) training our brain to use healthy coping methods means we can heal our own emotional wounds so we feel better about ourselves. IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister the 4 core wounding experiences that can arise from emotional distress: 1) loss, 2) rejection, 3) betrayal, 4) humiliation and the 2 choices that we have when experiencing these 4 wounding experiences: 1) hide or ignore; 2)use our coping brain functions to deal with them.

IIH Professional prompted Brandon and her sister to journal about the times when they have experienced the 4 types of wounding experiences.

IIH Professional prepared to elaborate on the 4 types of wounding experiences in the next session in order to continue teaching Brandon and her sister coping skills, why we need to implement them, and why they are a healthy alternative to succumbing to stress and anger. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister coping and self management skills to help them deal with life's circumstances.

IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister coping and self management skills to help them deal with life's circumstances.

IIH Professional revisited the website: Coping Skills for Kids/Brain Works Project to teach Brandon and her sister about "Pain in My Brain:4 Core Wounding Experiences".

IIH revisited the 4 Core Wounding Experiences in order to provide a clear understanding of each on the normal feelings that accompany each one such as 1)Loss-Loss creates such a powerful, instinctive brain danger signal it is the most common fear that reptilian and emotional coping brains are sensitized to detect. Throughout adolescence and adult life, a common source of hurt feelings is loss of people in our life who have been important to us; 2)Rejection-our emotional coping brain is the seat of our ability to sense social attachments and a sense of belonging with others. The emotional brain senses when someone we want to be friends with ignores or rejects us for some reason. Ther is one of the most common, everyday reasons for becoming upset and stressed, particularly as we enter adolescence; 3) Betrayal-emotional brain senses our connections with others, humans are not only sensitive to rejection, but also to betrayal by others we trust. Betrayal breaks the bond we have had with someone we have trusted and depended upon. Betrayal has many other forms including the painful experience when someone who has been your friend turns against you by saying or doing something that hurts your feelings; 4)Humiliation-a deep human wound we must learn to cope with because it strikes at the heart of our self respect -- our sense of self [def: ability to think about who we are as a person]. And that sense -- you guessed it occurs in the neocortex, our thinking brain. Maybe thats why we feel so devastated feeling overpowered and unable to get over something very painful and embarrassed being in stress and ashamed of our self.One theory is that humiliation is not only a threat to our thinking brain's sense of self respect, but also activates emotional and reptilian survival responses of violence.

IIH Professional, Brandon and her sister role played scenarios that were related to the 4 core Wounding Experiences and the positive and negative ways to respond to each one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.IIH Professional introduced the website to Brandon's parents and discussed the tools on the website that would assist with teaching Brandon and her sister how to be aware of their feelings, the source, and positive and negative reactions (behaviors) such as the Parents and Educators and Activities sections.

IIH Professional taught Brandon and her sister coping and self management skills to help them deal with life's circumstances.

IIH Professional revisited the website: Coping Skills for Kids/Brain Works Project to teach Brandon and her sister about the common coping myths and mistakes that Adolescents may make so that they can understand whereas their negative behavior is inappropriate it is however a natural response: 1) "I don't care" coping solution-

-most common mistake -may lose our ability to care(lead to many more problems) -can lose the ability to care in a positive way (sympathize with others in pain) -we may become insensitive to hurting other people with our words and actions (having few close friends; lonely) 2) Not realizing the reptilian (survival) brain automatically taking over when we're stressed and hurting-oldest and strongest coping response -when we can't deal with stress or upsets using our thinking brain, we may be ruled by anger and controlled by survival impulses. -have to learn how to use or thinking brain to get over emotional upsets. 3)Instinctive brain coping can become an easy habit. -may get sad or mad out of habit -if we always react to stress by allowing our instinctive brain to automatically deal w/a problem we never learn thinking skills or express our feelings by using words. -habits can be changed by making thoughtful choices. IIH Professional administered an Introduction Exercise for "Name That Upset Game" and had Brandon and her sister complete the exercise individually and went over answers and results.

IIH Professionals taught Brandon and her sister how to play "Name That Upset Game" in which Brandon and her sister selected from a series of upset cards in order to determine which of the four core wounding experiences loss, rejection, betrayal and humiliation the upset might fall under. IIH Professional taught Brandon's Mother skills for managing power struggles with Teens in order to improve communication skills to decrease angry outburst and increase positive interaction among family members.

IIH Professional taught Brandon's mother 6 suggestions for coping with power struggles such as 1) Being Consistent-do what you say you will, and enforce their rules each and every time, will have less issues with power struggles than those who don't; 2) Stay Calm-remain calm and help a child that is being disrespectful or testing limits stay calm or regain calm (use self-talk, count to ten, take deep breaths, leave the situation.); 3) Offering reasonable choices-giving kids limited choices can help them feel a sense of control and often more importantly save face for teens who may find it unpleasant to complete a chore; 4)Staying Respectful-as the adult you should take the high road, don't meet disrespect with more

disrespect, address issue at hand and attitude later; 5) Keeping Consequences Proportionate-wildly irrational consequences are meaningless b/c they won't stick, keep consequences proportionate to what has happened; 6) Keep Consequences Enforceable-most consequences rely on teens cooperation such as extra chores, more homework to enforce. Implement consequences that you have complete control over such as allowance, privileges.

IIH Professional had Brandon's mother make a list of suggestions for coping with power struggles to help her process each point and have materials to review later.

IIH Professional and Brandon's mother role played scenarios that allowed her to practice implementing these suggestions when dealing with everyday encounters with her children.

IIH Professional demonstrated better ways to execute suggestions when Brandon's mother's body language or attitude could have been perceived negatively by her children.

IIH Professional and Brandon's mother discussed the possibility of suggestions not working in her favor because Brandon's mother felt she could learn to do implement techniques but the children have to want to change.

IIH Professional counseled Brandon's mother on making sure she did her best as a parent and on how she provides behavioral examples and how children model a parent's behavior; positive or negative. Toni. IIH QP taught Toni Coping and Self Management Skills in order to improve coping skills to deal with life circumstances.

IIH QP had Toni process the following steps by writing them down to help retain information and so she could refer back to the following skills during times of extreme stress: 1)Talking It Out-use tools to express yourself appropriately through the use of "I Messages", identifying feelings, scaling to be able to discuss the intensity of your feelings. IIH Professional had Toni identify several people that she feels comfortable discussing problems with so that she can be able to validate her feelings with attention and time from a valued adult; 2)Brainstorming-IIH Professional and Toni brainstormed a list of possible solutions to past and present situations;3)Stress Relievers-IIH QP and Toni brainstormed ways for Toni to relax that fit her personality and interest such as writing, running, hanging out with friends and compared them to a list of stress relievers that she may practice that

are not as positive as those examples such as fighting, destroying property, disrupting her class. IIH QP taught Toni relaxation skills that she can use when feeling frustrated, angry, or overwhelmed. IIH QP reviewed unhealthy coping strategies such as explosive or angry behavior, self-mutilation, drugs, alcohol, tobacco use, school avoidance, sexually inappropriate behavior. IIH QP and Toni reviewed the benefits of relaxation: 1) once learned are versatile because they can be used anytime, anywhere, and for practically any situation; 2) they don't require any special equipment and can be modified for the individual user; 3) empowers teens to feel that they have some control over their emotions; 4) simple enough to teach that teens can easily share them with others. IIH QP taught Toni 3 basic types of relaxation techniques by modeling each for Toni to provide a visual of each technique such as 1. Progressive Muscle RelaxationFocus on one muscle at a time, alternately contracting and relaxing the muscle. 2.Guided Imagery-choose a relaxing scene at the focal point; location teen finds personally meaningful and calming. Utilization of all five senses. 3.Controlled Breathing-slow purposeful breathing that helps increase calmness and relaxation; breathe in through nose for 3-4 seconds and out the mouth for 6-8 seconds for a period of 5 to 10 minutes. IIH QP prompted Toni to practice each technique and provided corrective feedback. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.IIH Professional taught Communication skills in order to increase their family and peer interactions and relationships. IIH Professional taught Communication Builders to Toni's mother in order to help her communicate effectively with her Toni and her siblings by exploring feelings, identifying problems, and move kids to problem solving.

Reflective listening-listen to what is being said and try to reflect back both content and feelings such as "It sounds like with everything going on, you've been really overwhelmed lately." Demonstrates empathy, and helps develop trust and increases chance of kids wanting to talk further; 2) Questioning-ask pointed questions to help kids explore certain ideas further. Helps them develop insight and self awareness and get them to have a better understanding of why they are choosing certain actions and behaviors; 3) Goal Setting-empower kids by having them form their own goals, "What would you like to be different?", helps them take ownership of problem solving and find the solution; 4) Problem Solving-Kids deal with similar problems, help them identify skills they already possess and apply them to new situations "How have you managed your anger with friends in the past?",

help them to brainstorm options; 5) Evaluation-Follow-up after the solution is implemented. Use reflective listening skills again to encourage child to share their experience with you. IIH Professional had Toni's mother list what she presently does to help her children problem solve when they come to her with an issue and compare that list with communication builders list to assess what she could do differently.

Ask them to rate level of feelings on scale of 1-10; 5) I Messages-(Teach them to express their feelings by saying "I feel angry about...)

IIH Professional helped Toni's mother to process ther information by engaging her in a role play scenarios that allowed her to practice these techniques.

IIH Professional demonstrated the tone of voice that Toni's mom should use, moderate tone, no yelling because that would only alienate Toni and her siblings and cut of lines of communication.

improve communication skills to decrease angry outburst and increase positive interaction among family members.

IIH Professional taught Toni's parents Communication skills by teaching them strategies for Talking to Teens such as Communication Blockers-Mistakes to Avoid When Talking to Teens 1)Don't Minimize the problem because children tend to perceive that you are "blowing them off" or that you "don't get it" and can lead to teens feeling misunderstood and isolated; 2)Don't tell kids how they should feel such as you shouldn't let ther bother you" or "You know you don't really feel that way" because it invalidates their feelings and perspective, makes them feel disrespected, and unlikely to share things with you. They may also wind up feeling depressed for having the "wrong" feelings; 3) Don't offer false reassurance regarding things beyond your control such as "Everything will work out for the best!" Ther modeling of hopefulness and a positive attitude may only promise a simplistic and unrealistic "quick fix" Which minimizes the problem and leaves the child without any options; 4)Don't blame them for the problem such as "You must have done something to make him say that to you." because even though they may have some responsibility in the problem, the initial stages of the disclosure are them expressing their feelings in an attempt to find understanding and empathy. Instead work towards problem solving which may involve children taking ownership after wards, assigning responsibility to early can be perceived as blaming and can be one of the quickest ways to shut down communication.
