DD11 is struggling with serious anger issues. She said she wants to kill everyone when she feels angry. Parenting her is severely challenging. I am getting guidance but I feel that she needs to have someone to speak to but she adamantly refuses. She sees it as a sign of failure if she 'needs help'. She keeps insisting she can improve on her own but it's not happening. She's losing friends over this behavior and I don't know how what to do.

What have others done in such situations?

There are self-help books for kids. Will she read one with you?

"What to do when your temper flares" has a lot of regulation ideas.

Provide her with some tools and self help books. Give her a timeline where you will both monitor to see if she can do this on her own. Very possible that she will be able to if she is a very determined person. If it doesn't work, you can show her how the time has passed and maybe it's time for a third person to come in to see how she can help herself. Hugs..

Constitutional homeopathy and LDN. She doesn't know what it's for. Gamechangers.

Bumping because my teen really needs therapy too but doesn’t want to share her feelings with a stranger who is getting paid to listen.

She doesn’t want to do a workbook too.
