Covenant Spotlight
Story
Story of Hope
By: Leah, TBS Provider
My
experience with a recent 9 year old female client, Sara, has
reinforced my belief in the effectiveness and importance of our
service and in the power of love and simply “showing up” for
these families. When I began TBS with Sara, she was having
violent, explosive outbursts multiple times daily, often lasting
for hours at a time. The behaviors exhibited during these
episodes included verbal aggression and profanity, physical
aggression, property destruction, verbal threats, and severe
opposition and defiance. For approximately the first 30-40 days,
the police were called at least once a week due to her severe
escalation and threat to her self and family. I sat through many
of these episodes coaching her mother on the appropriate
response to her behavior, but inside began to feel more and more
hopeless as her behavior did not appear to be changing.
