Feel out of control

I hope you don't have to wait too long. It's good to know other people have the same feelings about things. My son needed ibuprofen last night but was ok this morning (I didn't ask how his back was, I guess that is avoidance right there, but he didn't mention it). Then I thought that as he seems to experience it more in the evening after he's used his back all day, that suggests a muscular cause. I've tried to distract myself by trying to find a local therapist who offers CBT.

It’s not a bad thing to not question him about how his back is feeling. I don’t think that’s avoidance at all, I think that’s normal. If it was hurting bad enough, you can bet he would say something. Let him go on as normal and allow him to come to you if something doesn’t feel right.

I have to assume those without HA disorders aren’t constantly scanning their bodies looking for what may or may not be wrong with them. You constantly asking him how he’s doing might reinforce some of the HA behaviors that you don’t want him to develop. Just my opinion though.
