From ADHD Medication To Jail

A good soul sent down a road that winds up in the justice system for no good reason - and that could have been stopped any day, for example when he was drunk every single day as a 16 year old. I claim this is a failure of society, parenting, schooling and social services, not of the child that today is a grown man in jail.
I am interviewing Ramsey in Chesterfield County Jail who is a part of the HARP program, Helping Addicts Recover Progressively - to give a perspective on how relying on medication of ADHD to a child with growing brain can create addiction that leads to criminality that leads to jail.
As you can follow, I am during the interview using NLP to reframe his internal representation of who he was, and who he can be by placing some of the responsibility for what has happened to him as a child where it belonged back then. Also, I am referring to an intervention we did with hypnosis where I had a group of 100 participants revisit a memory of a person they liked and respected, to get access to the state of mind and emotion and coping strategies back then.
The interview hopefully casts a light at a corner of the incredibly successful and powerful HARP program, initiate by Sheriff Karl Leonard and run by the participants with mentoring from a team of mental health staff led by Kerri Rhodes.
Self-regulation with tapping and Havening are a cornerstone of the work they are doing. Read more about this in the other chapters on the website, or visit peacefulheart.se.
