What I see in many carers is a lack of being able to tolerate negative emotions, actions or behaviors. (I'm not referring to abuse.. more like flashbacks and what not.) This is where I see a problem. The carer rushes in trying to fix it and make it all better. Of course they get burnt out doing this repeatedly and frustrated because it doesn't work. Us sufferers NEED to learn how to cope and deal with our all negatives. It's very important. So begins an unhealthy cycle.

Was just thinking about this as a contributing factor in the price carers pay.
