Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: Anyone treating Reactive Attachment Disorder with essential oils

How old is the girl? My first thought would be to give her plenty of massage. See what scents she likes. Whisper, Citrus Bliss, Balance, Elevation, even Vetiver can be appealing. You never know what appeals. I'd probably be massaging some Vetiver onto her big toes and night.  With lots of loving regular touch you never know what can be achieved. If she doesn't want to be touched just have the rest of the family do it and keep offering. Perhaps diffusing some Citrus Bliss or Bergamot or Ylang Ylang. Really just tune into what she likes.  I'd recommend looking for the Vimeo of Daniel McDonald doing his presentation on the Emotional oils. Does anyone have an email for him? It would be great to get his advice on this. Cypress inhaled daily 4 or 5 times a day for several days may bring on an emotional release. Thing is you can't be pushy with a child in this situation either so just tell the mom to go with the flow and experiment. Please keep us posted. All the best!

I have a friend who's adopted daughter has just been diagnosed with Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a condition found in children who have received grossly negligent care and do not form a healthy emotional attachment with their primary caregivers -- usually their mothers -- before age 5.

Attachment develops when a child is repeatedly soothed, comforted, and cared for, and when the caregiver consistently meets the child's needs. It is through attachment with a loving and protective caregiver that a young child learns to love and trust others, to become aware of others' feelings and needs, to regulate his or her emotions, and to develop healthy relationships and a positive self-image. The absence of emotional warmth during the first few years of life can negatively affect a child's entire future.

Is anyone using essentials oils to help cope/treat this disorder?

I am only 3 weeks into using essential oils myself and have so much to learn about treating some of the issues that I am hoping to treat myself for and my family. We are managing OK with the ADHD issues with my two boys but what this family has been going through for the last few months I am really hope someone out there has been going through the same thing and essential oils have made a huge differences for them.  

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
